The Kohler 26kW Home Standby Generator (Model 26RCAL-200SELSU) is a whole-house backup power system designed to protect your home and family during power outages. Featuring a commercial-grade Kohler Command PRO OHV engine with 999cc displacement, this air-cooled standby generator delivers 26kW of power on propane (24kW on natural gas) with dual fuel capability for maximum flexibility. The unit includes a 200-amp outdoor-rated, service-entrance rated automatic transfer switch for seamless power transfer.

PowerBoost Technology provides exceptional motor-starting ability for large electrical loads such as central air conditioning units and heat pumps without dropping power to other circuits. The generator features premium power quality with +/-1% voltage regulation and less than 5% total harmonic distortion (THD), protecting sensitive electronics from damage. Fast response time restores power in as little as 10 seconds after an outage is detected.

The 100% corrosion-proof aluminum enclosure is rated for 181 MPH winds and remains impact-resistant down to -30°F. The aluminum base can be mounted on gravel or cement pads and offers installation flexibility, allowing placement within 18 inches of a building per many local codes. A new silencer reduces sound levels to approximately 67 dB(A) at 23 feet during operation, maintaining neighborhood quiet. The 90-second EcoExercise mode provides unloaded testing with diagnostics, saving fuel and reducing noise compared to standard exercise cycles.

The RDC2 digital controller features a glare-resistant 2-line, 16-character display with no error codes, showing plain language status messages. Automatic transfer switch status is indicated via LED lights on the controller. Built-in remote monitoring via Ethernet connection enables the Kohler Energy Management App, providing real-time alerts on generator status, remote control capabilities, and maintenance record tracking. Wireless monitoring requires the optional OnCue Plus Wireless Radio Kit.

Dimensions measure 47 inches long by 26.2 inches wide by 32.2 inches high, with a total weight of 625 pounds. Fuel consumption at 50% load is 180 cubic feet per hour for natural gas or 2.4 gallons per hour for propane. At 100% load, consumption increases to 290 cubic feet per hour for natural gas or 3.6 gallons per hour for propane. The unit delivers 120/240 volt single-phase power at 60 Hz with a rated output of 109 amps. The generator requires a 500 CCA battery (not included) for electric start operation. Meets U.S. EPA and California emission regulations. Backed by a 5-year/2,000-hour limited warranty covering both consumer and commercial applications.
