Kohler Generator

Memphis residents know the frustration of power outages during severe thunderstorms, ice storms, and summer heat waves. A Kohler home generator provides continuous power during these outages, keeping your family safe and comfortable. At Choate's, we've been installing and servicing Kohler generators across the Mid-South since 1958.

Why Kohler Generators Work for Memphis Homes

Commercial-Grade Engine and Durability

Kohler standby generators use commercial-grade engines that activate within 10 seconds of power loss. As factory-certified Kohler installers, we've seen these units perform reliably through Memphis's harshest weather events, from summer storms to winter ice accumulation.

Quiet Operation Around the Neighborhood

Kohler generators operate at just 65 decibels—quieter than a typical air conditioner. This makes them neighborhood-friendly in areas with noise restrictions, allowing you and your neighbors to rest comfortably during outages.

Weather-Resistant Housing for Midsouth Storms

We recommend Kohler for Memphis homes because their corrosion-resistant enclosures withstand our humid climate and temperature extremes. These units continue performing through heavy rain, wind, and the occasional ice storm that hits our region.

How to Choose the Right Kohler Generator for Your Needs

10 kW and 14 kW Models for Essential Circuits

Smaller Kohler models power critical systems like your refrigerator, select lighting, and security systems. These units are ideal for moderate-sized homes needing basic protection during Memphis's frequent short-term outages.

20 kW and 26 kW Units for Whole-Home Coverage

Medium-sized generators run entire homes—including HVAC systems, kitchen appliances, and electronics. This comprehensive coverage is perfect for Memphis summers when air conditioning is a necessity, not a luxury.

Larger Kohler Standby Electric Generators for Businesses

Our commercial clients trust Kohler's larger generators to protect critical systems, inventory, and customer comfort. As licensed commercial electrical contractors, we configure these systems to meet specific business requirements.
