MPS is a leader in the emergency generator installation industry, to include both residental and commercial applications. We pride ourselves on doing exactly what we say we will do and in the exact time frame as stated. We also pride ourselves with regard to the quality of equipment that we install and upon offering the very best price and value for a fully installed emergency use generator. We install systems ranging in size from 7 kilowatts to 80 kilowatts that are fueled by either propane or natural gas. This range of size is intended to cover practically any residental or commercial application.Our generators are weather enclosed and many of them are fully automated to turn on with the onset of an outage and to turn back off automatically at the end of the outage. 

Please e-mail us or give us a call for a free consultation to include a proper sizing analysis that will meet your exact power requirements and a quotation for a completely installed turnkey system for a guaranteed price.

8.5 kW

Residential Generators / 8.5RES

FeaturesSpecificationsOptions
  • More Powerful Performance
  • Kohler·s exclusive PowerBoostª technology provides greater motor starting capability for large loads such as central air conditioners while still running other home appliances and electronics.
  • Safer Power for Sensitive Electronics
  • Many power sources can damage and degrade sensitive home electronics due to unstable power quality or high levels of total harmonic distortion (THD). KOHLER residential generators protect all of your valuable appliances and sophisticated electronics with cleaner, safe and stable power that meets strict utility requirements and IEEE standards for THD.
  • Quieter Operation
  • Quiet operation: 65 dB(A) at 7 m, similar to a typical vacuum cleaner
  • Sound enclosure maintains neighborhood solitude whether you are in self-test or full operation mode
  • Faster Response
  • While many competitive products can leave you in the dark for 25 seconds or more during an outage, KOHLER generators restore power in as little as 10 seconds.
  • Superior five-year limited warranty included
  • KOHLER residential generators are commercial grade and have the warranty to back it up. This generator is supported by a premium five-year limited warranty.
