The video presentation is good 👍 However, including a standardized pricing would be of great service to the be consumer… Without the pricing, as a consumer, I find that I must continue my search in hopes of obtaining additional information, which would include the pricing.
The 20 KW is $5K - $6K, install varies widely ($2K - $6K) based on region, dealer, independent, etc. Indies may be cheaper, but you want Kohler's blessing if there are Warranty issues. Two years everything covered, next 3 years are parts only, YOU pay service and "Travel". AKA "5 Year Limited Warranty".
Just had a 20Kw put in !!! Love my new Kohler Generator !! Hook it to nature gas . I really like there generator having hydraulic valves ,,,Generac doesn't !!!!
Nice design and well thought out. Had your marketing been better I likely would have gone Kohler instead of a Honda frame model, then having to go through the exercise of constructing a concrete "bunker" for it. This video which I stumbled across after the fact explains it all and is excellent. If you focus on smaller sizes for residential users and do a good job on sound insulation as you demonstrated on one of your larger size models you would capture a large segment of that market. I love your demonstration of breaking down the side walls for mtce. I looked at buying a 5-7 kw generator for occasional use during emergencies and considered an additional $2k expense for a generic sound proofing compartment for housing it. If I found an all in one package, considering the brain damage I went through to buy a gen and then design a cabinet I would have jumped right away on a sound proof Kohler package. What users want is reliability, sound proofing (very important), security, fire resistance, and thermal protection. Buyers also want to know just how quiet. I am impressed and see you as being almost there for the small residential user. Great job!
I had my Kohler 20 kW standby installed about 4 months ago it's been exercising weekly at about 1pm no issues first time I had power go off last night generator didn't come on. I go outside this morning lift up the hood red lights flashing fault code something about a speed fault I have no idea I've called the electrician going to have them come out and check it I hope my brand new generator isnt fried
I live in southside VA 15 minutes from the NC border and thinking of a generator after ice storm . I have a 2440 sq. ft house with 2 x6 stud walls but want to be able to only run things I need like heat pump and well pump and whole house water filter and pressure tank and refrigerator and maybe some led lights and computers and maybe tvs . I don't care about my kitchen range or dryer or washing machine .We are retired so home all the time .I do have a new lennox heat pump with wifi controller that is a 16 seer unit dual compressor .Will they go by your standard usage a month to decide how big a generator to install .Plus only propane here .I know you can pick and choose what you want it to run .I also know if installed incorrectly it can feed back to the grid . During ice storm someones generator fed back and a poor guy working to get power back on from the electric company was electricuted and he is still in hospital
I made the mistake of buy generac first. The customer support including management was even worse than the garbage generator they make. Kohler is FAR superior in every way.
I reccomend getting one of the 22-25 killowat versions its more expensive but you should be able to live normally before the power went out with that much energy
I’m perplexed. We want a 20,000 KW standby and Some people are saying Generac is best and others are saying Kohler. Can somebody please tell me which one is going to be the better one for 2022 models? I’ve heard Kohler but I’m trying to get some really sound advice to be sure because I just can’t find the answer. People say Generac is good and others say Kohler and then they argue back-and-forth and I don’t know
I have four friends that have Generac generators all new within last 3 years. All four failed to work after power outrage from hurricane Ian. Generac is JUNK.
I have had both. I was career Army and moved a lot and always lived rural. I never had a problem with a Generac product (24Kw with auto switching gear). The longest I was without power was 14 days. I have had both natural gas and Propane. The only problem I ever had with my Kohler was a lightning strike that demagnetized the stator. The technician called for help and the call went to Germany, luckily German is my second language and we fixed it. Ran great! One recommendation; which ever brand you buy, have it serviced annually by a technician. It will never fail!
@@cjbiker4780 Air cooled.No thanks I have a 45kw Kohler with a Ford 6 cyl 1800 rpm unit.Liquid cooled.Have had this since the year2001 overkill but worth it.
@@jamesconerly1039 For a 45KW, sounds good. For my 20KW, at full load 3,600 RPMs is just the way it is. Auto test runs automatically every 2 weeks at 10am tuesdays. NG and trouble free. The Oncue App is cool too. For frequent long term outages, I would have searched more, but all's good I guess.
Better content and production than the previous video. Just lose the background music completely.

I got 14KW for $3000 in Richmond
Generally speaking, the 20K is what you want, or you will have wished you got. Propane or Natural Gas, either works fine.
@@generalsifr2995 Woa, that's a really good deal. You can't even get their 10kw for that much now.
I made the mistake of buy generac first. The customer support including management was even worse than the garbage generator they make. Kohler is FAR superior in every way.
Hopefully the line power is coming from a "power pole", not a telephone pole :)
They have both wires on the same pole ,,,AC Electric owns the poles here !!
I have a generator but it's not enough to run my home central A/C and I'm thinking about getting a generator that would do the job 🤔

I have a 14k it runs my whole house including AC. It’s advised to flip the twin 220 breakers off on the electric hot water heater

Why is there a Generac transfer switch in there when you are a Kohler generator dealer?
They also sell Generac.
@@johncford3957 ok
it would have helped to know the RPM of each unit
The Kohler 20 KW units run @ 3,600 RPM,

how coe some generators I see have a battery in it ,like a car battery
To start the generator, like your car.
most use a group 51 battery which is kind of a half size car battery that used them in a lot of Honda civics and other small cars.
Those pre cast pads looks horrible! Who is the 15 year old you have out back pouring cement?
From what I've read, Kohler is far superior to Generac.
