At the end of World War I, the demand for electricity on farms led a group of innovative cast iron workers with no background in generators or engines to develop the revolutionary Kohler Automatic Power & Light “power plant” in 1920. The company has been remained in continuous operation ever since, and has developed a reputation for manufacturing the most reliable and durable generators on the market.

The technology has changed a lot over the past 95 years, but Kohler’s commitment to helping people keep their homes or businesses continuously powered hasn’t. You can find Kohler generators in many different places where being without power isn’t an option, including hospitals, police departments, airports, military bases. and even nuclear power plants.

Most homeowners accept the occasional winter power outage as a standard inconvenience, and find ways to cope for a few hours. They pull out their flashlights and battery-operated radios, and light some candles. But what happens when that outage lasts for several days, or even a few weeks? For each of the past several winters, winter weather (particularly ice storms) has left tens of thousands of Arkansans without power for as long as 2-3 weeks. The utility companies typically give priority to the most densely populated areas, and rural areas are particularly susceptible to lengthy outages.

A high quality Kohler generator can restore power to your home mere seconds after a power outage, and if you think that you can’t afford one, think again! There’s a KOHLER generator available to fit any budget, and our team at Gary Houston Electric can install it for you in a flash. A home generator is a one-time investment, and you’ll thank yourself every time that the power goes out.
