These are definitely challenging times, and as we enter the “new normal” as a culture, it’s very important to be prepared for the worst. Fortunately, COVID-19 doesn’t cause homes to lose power, but severe weather definitely does. Since we’re all being told to stay home as much as we can, the very thought of being without power is unbearable for most of us. That’s why it’s such a great idea to invest in a Kohler emergency generator!
