Generators Q&A

Have questions about standby generators? Here are answers to the questions our customers ask most often.

How long does installation take?

A typical standby generator installation takes one to two days, depending on the size of the unit and whether a transfer switch is already in place.

What size generator do I need?

The right size depends on what you want to power. A whole-home generator is sized based on your home’s electrical load. We’ll help you calculate the right capacity.

What fuel does it use?

Kohler standby generators run on natural gas or liquid propane — fuels that are readily available even after a storm.

How often does it need maintenance?

Annual maintenance is recommended to keep your generator in top condition. Air & Energy offers generator maintenance plans. Call 941-778-0773.
