Generator’s innovative enclosure features a fresh aesthetic and is 100 percent corrosion proof

KOHLER, Wis. – January 12, 2011 – Kohler Co.’s bold new showcase of automatic standby home generators – featuring significant enhancements to power, reliability and overall design – provide customers with the ultimate in safety, security and peace of mind.

“These home generators are a breakthrough for Kohler – and the industry – for design, reliability and performance,” said Dan Giampetroni, business director for residential generators at Kohler Co. “The permanently installed standby generators underscore Kohler’s commitment to innovation and design in every product category it serves.”

KOHLER home generators boast a longstanding tradition for performance and reliability dating back to 1920. These two new generator sizes at 14 and 20 kilowatts bring improved performance, faster response time, clean and quiet power, and a fresh new material guaranteed to withstand harsh climate elements like no other.

The outer shell of the generators is comprised of a dense and rugged composite material, making it completely corrosion-proof to harsh elements such as salt-laden air in coastal areas – which is far superior to any steel-type or aluminum encasement.

The smooth, rounded edges seamlessly blend into any home landscaping, and the use of KOHLER Cashmere – a popular color applied to the company’s line of sinks, bathtubs and toilets – makes the new standby generators an attractive addition to any residential property.

The higher power range of the generators permit homeowners to run powerful household items such as heating and cooling systems, sump pumps, sophisticated electronics, major appliances, and other lifestyle-sustaining equipment. Combined with the improved power output is a much cleaner power supply from Kohler. The power quality meets or exceeds IEEE standards, along with the industry-best Total Harmonic Distortion ensures delicate electronics will work properly and safely.

The new KOHLER home generators can be fueled by natural gas or propane, thereby eliminating fuel spillage or evaporative emissions, while producing significantly less ozone forming emissions as compared to gasoline or diesel models.

“Homeowners and builders will have ultimate confidence in our new home generators,” said Giampetroni. “Not only do they provide proven best-in-class performance, power and reliability, they are also backed by an industry-best 5-year, 2,000-hour warranty.”
