Whole House Generators » Residential Generator 17RES

More Powerful Performance
Kohler's exclusive PowerBoost™ technology provides greater motor starting capability for large loads such as central air conditioners while still running other home appliances and electronics.
Safer Power for Sensitive Electronics
Many power sources can damage and degrade sensitive home electronics due to unstable power quality or high levels of total harmonic distortion (THD). KOHLER residential generators protect all of your valuable appliances and sophisticated electronics with cleaner, safe and stable power that meets strict utility requirements and IEEE standards for THD.
Quieter Operation
Sound enclosure maintains neighborhood solitude whether you are in self-test or full operation mode. 68 dB(A) at 7 m, similar to a typical central air conditioner.
Faster Response
While many competitive products can leave you in the dark for 25 seconds or more during an outage, KOHLER generators restore power in as little as 10 seconds.
Superior five-year limited warranty included
Easier Service and Installation
Unlike most competitive products our engines include hydraulic valve lifters for reliable performance without routine valve adjustment or lengthy break-in requirements.
Kohler's new easy-connection terminal block provides faster, flexible installations.
Polymer base eliminates the need for a concrete mounting pad, reducing installation time and cost and the new 17RES is designed with a hinged roof for easy service access.
More sophisticated diagnostic self-test
While some competitive products perform a short, reduced-speed exercise each week, KOHLER residential generators perform a 20-minute full-speed exercise cycle and self-diagnostic test each week to ensure your generator is ready to run when you need it.
Sophisticated fault codes on Kohler's exclusive Advanced Digital Control let you know where service may be needed.
Emissions certifications
Meets Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) nonstationary unit requirements and California Air Resources Board (CARB)-certified for both LP vapor and natural gas (field-convertible).
