Introducing the New KOHLER 17RES Residential Generator
KOHLER generators are known throughout the industry for extraordinary reliability and performance. And that recognition is growing as the
KOHLER 12RES was named a “Best Buy”—as well as the highest-rated generator—in a leading consumer magazine in October 2006.
The Smart Choice in an Air-Cooled Residential Generator
Kohler has packaged the most desired features with our incomparable performance to bring you the best air-cooled products available.
Here are just a few of the advantages you’ll find in the new 17RES—advantages that should be found in the generator that is protecting your home and family:
Many power sources can damage and degrade sensitive home electronics due to unstable power quality or high levels of total harmonic distortion (THD)
More Powerful Performance
Kohler’s exclusive PowerBoost™ technology provides greater motor starting capability for large loads such as central air conditioners while still running other home appliances and electronics. The new 17RES will easily start a 5-ton central air conditioner and can run a 4-ton air conditioner at the same time.
Quieter Operation
Quiet operation: 65 dB(A) at 7 m, similar to a typical central air conditioner. 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 30 seconds or more during an outage, the KOHLER 17RES generator restores power in as little as 10 seconds—3 times faster.
More sophisticated diagnostic self-test
While some competitive products perform a short, reduced-speed exercise each week, KOHLER residential generators perform a 20-minute full-speed exercise cycle and self-diagnostic test weekly to ensure your generator is ready to run when you need it.
Our quieter operation eliminates the need for less robust exercise cycles.
Sophisticated fault codes on Kohler’s exclusive Advanced Digital Control let you know where service may be needed.
Easier Service and Installation
-
Unlike most competitive products our engines include hydraulic valve lifters for reliable performance without routine valve adjustment or lengthy break-in requirements
-
The new 17RES is designed with a hinged roof for easy service access.
Superior five-year limited warranty included
KOHLER residential generators are commercial grade and have the warranty to back it up. The 17RES generator is supported by a premium five-year limited warranty.
