The package prices offered on this site are for basic information on the costs associated with the purchase and installation of a Kohler Residential Back-Up Generator. Although many units are installed for these prices, the actual price of your unit depends on certain factors that must be verified before installation.
The package comes in two major pieces, the generator and the automatic transfer switch (ATS). These two pieces must be located according to your homes layout, and certain situations will dictate their location. The generator must be connected to the natural gas meter or the propane tank for its fuel supply. It is a good idea to keep this distance as short as possible for fuel line sizing, and more importantly cost. The ATS must be connected to the existing electrical supply panel and again, the shorter the distance, usually the better and more cost effective the installation. Additionally, the generator and the ATS must be interconnected with electrical lines for controls, battery charger, and service feeders. The utilities in an average home are close in proximity, however the utilities in some larger homes are not, and some homes built in the middle part of the previous century have utilities on the opposite ends of the residence. This does not usually present a problem, but it does generally add to the cost of installation.
Keep in mind that there are several different ways to install a unit. Elite Power Systems takes into consideration all aspects of different installation possibilities to keep your overall costs within budget. We offer answers to every situation and accept guidance to what you want. The final layout decision is yours to make as we want you to have the perfect solution to your backup power needs.
