Good But There Were Factory Defects
By celloville
Arkansas
Purchased 03/29/2024 |
Review Posted 05/20/2024
I still believe that Kohler generators are generally good quality and well-designed, and recommend them. However, this latest unit had two factory wiring defects that have me questioning their quality control. First, there were two switched wires in the utility/charger connection block. Luckily it was an easy fix, but who knows what kind of damage could have occurred had power been applied. Second, there was a short jumper wire connected between the neutral and ground terminals on the generator load connection block. I have no idea why it was there but this is not a generator that should have it's neutral and ground bonded. I've never seen this jumper in any standby generator I've installed. Bottom line, double-check *all* factory wiring before you commission a Kohler generator.

New and doesn’t work
By Debbie F
Wisconsin
Review Posted 12/09/2022
Purchased this generator with the hopes of not having to worry about power outages. Went through all the basic install, call propane and electrician to get things hooked up. After about 3 weeks of waiting for this to happen (everyone is busy) it doesn’t work!!! Electrician called Kohler to he told there wasn’t anything they could do but it sounded like a bad board….gave him a name of another electrician who could do the warranty work. Called him 5 days ago and haven’t heard back since. Electrician also called Generators Direct (ext 121) and left a message. 2 weeks and he’s received NO phone call back. So far, experience not good!

Very sorry to hear you're having problems with your generator. Kohler stands behind their products an offers a 5-Year Warranty on this model. As an online retailer, we have to direct all warranty service to a local servicing dealer. You can use the Kohler Dealer Locator to find a servicing dealer in you area.

Review Posted 05/21/2022
I like the generator looks. It was simple to install and looks as if it will more than do the job of providing emergency power to operate the entire home. It has good features and is priced at an acceptable amount. The fact that there were no shipping costs was a great benefit.

Nice Gen Set, Clear Installation/operation Manuals, Nice 'OnCue

Review Posted 08/27/2021
I just installed this Kohler 14 RCAL generator set (plus the 200 amp automatic transfer switch), so can't speak for long term yet...but I can say without hesitation that the installation was much easier than I thought it would be.
Also, kudos to Electric Generator Direct for this...we received this unit much faster than we thought we would, a very pleasant problem to have!
My wife bought the system (it was her initiative). I just asked her to pick Kohler, and sized according to our routine usage habits (2 story home, heat pumps, deep freeze, refrigerator etc.). Other brands are fine too, I'm sure...just maintain whatever you do get.
I had a plumber do the gas side of the project, I didn't want that liability. However, I did all the electric work myself, but more important, then paid a licensed electrician with experience installing similar home stand by generator like his to verify my work according to municipal requirements, NEC, and what typical home inspectors look for.
I'm happy to say, no major findings from the inspector, however, he left me a punch list....I chased a few bonding mistakes (FYI the ATS comes bonded).
Likewise, I located a local Kohler dealer, and had them come out for a final review and commissioning. I've never installed a generator before, and I have very little electrical experience, and the electrician and Kohler dealer didn't find much to complain about, so that speaks to how very easy it is to correctly install these units with the sole caveat of reading, highlighting applicable information and following the (included) installation and operation manual.
I did a video review of this process too, step by step, including confirming the machine's gas pressure settings etc.
In short, nice Kohler 14 RCAL + ATS system, very nice, clear, easy to understand instructions, sketches, wiring diagrams etc.
OnCue Plus is a very nice and feature rich monitoring system. I installed it on my phone (iPhone), my wife on hers (iPhone) and dialed it what we want this system to do (notifications via text and email etc.).
Overall we are very happy with this investment in our home and recommend the Kohler 14 RCAL + 200 amp ATS to other home owners in the market.
