KOHLER home standby generator systems engineered for automatic backup of luxury residences and large estates. Regent5 coordinates generator sizing, natural-gas or propane supply, automatic transfer equipment, electrical service, load priorities, placement, commissioning and long-term support.
Regent5 engineers generator systems around the home’s actual electrical infrastructure, outage priorities and future energy strategy rather than selecting equipment by square footage alone.
Compact residential standby generation for essential-load and smaller whole-home applications where the load study supports it.
Popular residential standby platform for homes requiring more running capacity and strong motor-start performance.
26 kW LP / 24 kW natural-gas standby power for larger residential loads within an air-cooled platform.
Larger 24–60 kW-class residential options for high-demand properties and more complex electrical systems.
Automatic utility-loss detection and controlled transfer between grid and generator power.
Generator sizing around continuous load, motor starting, load diversity and the homeowner’s actual outage priorities.
Natural-gas or propane requirements coordinated with generator output, pipe sizing and the project’s mechanical design.
Equipment placement planned around clearances, airflow, exhaust, neighboring spaces, landscaping and maintenance access.
Generator integration within broader energy systems that may also include storage, PV, smart loads and upgraded electrical service.
Transfer testing, connected-load verification, monitoring setup, documentation and ongoing electrical support.
Yes. Kohler Energy became the independent company Rehlko, while the residential home-energy business continues to market KOHLER home generators. This page uses KOHLER because that is still the product brand homeowners see on the current residential generator lineup.
The correct size depends on which loads must operate during an outage, their running demand and their starting current. We perform a residential load study instead of sizing only from home square footage.
The current residential lineup prominently includes 14RCA, 20RCA and 26RCA models. KOHLER also offers smaller and larger standby products, including liquid-cooled models for higher-demand homes.
Yes, when the generator and transfer architecture are sized for the home’s load. Large estates may require a larger liquid-cooled generator, load management or a defined set of backed-up circuits.
Many KOHLER residential standby generators are designed for natural gas or LPG. The selected fuel affects available output and requires properly sized piping, regulators and fuel supply.
The transfer switch detects utility loss, isolates the appropriate electrical source and connects the home or selected circuits to generator power after the generator starts. It transfers back when utility service is restored.
Current KOHLER residential product specifications list a roughly 10-second response time on models such as the 14RCA, 20RCA and 26RCA. Actual transfer behavior depends on the complete installed system.
Yes, a generator can be part of a larger residential resilience design that also includes battery storage and solar. The controls and electrical architecture must be designed so each source operates safely and predictably.
Sound varies by model and operating condition. For example, KOHLER lists the 26RCA at 56 dB(A) during its weekly exercise mode and 67 dB(A) at full-speed operation, so placement should consider neighbors and occupied spaces.
Placement must account for manufacturer clearances, exhaust, openings into the building, fuel routing, electrical distance, drainage, landscaping, sound and local code. We coordinate these constraints before finalizing the location.
Yes. Early planning allows the team to reserve space, route fuel and electrical infrastructure, select transfer equipment and coordinate the generator with batteries, solar, EV charging and the final service design.
Regent5 can evaluate the electrical side of an existing standby system, including transfer equipment, panels, loads, controls and integration with the rest of the home, then coordinate appropriate repair or upgrade work.
