Installation
Most municipalities will require you to obtain a permit before you can install a standby generator. Be sure to check rules in your area before hiring an electrician to install your generator. Generac generators require gas to operate, so you’ll need approval to connect it to your existing gas fuel supply. You will need to install the generator on a flat area, like a patio or cinder blocks.
Generac vs. Kohler Generators
Both Generac and Kohler generators come with an automatic transfer switch. When the electricity goes out, the generator will allow your home’s electricity to keep running automatically. You may not even notice the power went out. Both Generac and Kohler generators also come with a 5-year, 2,000-hour premium warranty and a corrosion-proof enclosure that’s built to last through the toughest weather. If there’s a hurricane storm in the summer, both of these generators will keep your air conditioner running without issue. As long as you ensure the generator you purchase has a minimum of 11,000 watts.
