Generac Generator
- Good dealership/service & parts availability, especially in the U.S. residential market. Easier to find support in many areas.
-
Advanced user-friendly features, such as:
• Mobile Link™ remote monitoring: keep track of generator status from a phone`/tablet.
• Quiet-Test™ mode: weekly self-tests at reduced RPM, so noise is lower during tests.
• True Power / low total harmonic distortion in many models (important for sensitive electronics).
- Good range of power sizes; many model options to match different loads.
- Reasonably good warranties (e.g. 5-year limited warranty on many residential/stationary models).
- Generally more affordable up front compared to Kohler, especially for similar power ratings.
Kohler Generator
- Premium build and durability: generally higher quality components in many models
- Quieter operation: better insulation, sound-shielding designs, often lower noise especially under load or during operation. Good for noise-sensitive areas or close proximity to home.
- Strong warranty offers: Kohler commonly offers 5 years or 2,000 hours on standby (non-portable) units.
- More options for enclosure materials, especially for corrosion resistance (aluminum, composite, etc.), which is useful in coastal or harsh weather climates.
- Features for “exercise” modes: multiple modes of routine self testing, some loaded/ unloaded, etc. These help ensure reliability and readiness.
- Stable power output: good for sensitive appliances; Kohler tends to have tighter regulation under load changes.

Home Generator FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions?
What is a home standby generator?
In the event of a power outage, a home standby generator will provide electrical power to all connected devices. A properly sized generator will back up the entire house or business, without the need for extension cords, or manually disabling select circuits. The generator is made up of a small motor, an alternator (stator and rotor), a carburetor (mixer), and a controller. The generator is paired with a transfer switch, and connects to home power through a distribution panel.
Which brand of home standby generator is best?
The choice of generator brand is highly subjective, but most home standby generators are made by Generac, Briggs and Stratton, and Kohler. When choosing your generator, consider who will service and repair your generator when the time comes. Each brand mandates that repairs are performed by factory-trained and certified technicians, and most generator dealers are certified by one or two primary manufacturers due to the cost and time to train technicians.
What does a home standby generator use for fuel?
Permanently mounted home standby generators typically run on the home’s existing natural gas connection, or liquid propane system. These units are generally dual fuel, and can be reprogramed to run on either fuel type. Portable generators often run on gasoline, and have a small onboard tank that must be manually replenished. Portable generators are typically too small to serve as a true “whole house” backup generator. Diesel generators with onboard tanks are also common in larger industrial applications.
