A standby generator should be selected around the property it is expected to support. Electrical demand, the equipment that needs backup power, available fuel, and the existing electrical system all play a role in determining the right configuration.
Ever-Ready Electric can evaluate these considerations before installation. The company is also a factory-authorized Kohler Generator dealer, providing access to Kohler standby generator systems as part of the backup-power planning process.
& LP Options
Kohler standby generator systems are available with natural gas and liquid propane options. The appropriate configuration depends on the property, available fuel source, and generator system selected.
Ever-Ready Electric can evaluate the site and electrical requirements to help determine the appropriate generator configuration.
