Recommendations on standby generators

[dlundblad]

I’m happy with our standby 16kw Generac, but wish I would’ve looked at other options too. Either Kohler or Onan/ Cummins.

I think Generac has the best support here though. While I am not a huge fan of the dealer I used, there’s a larger one locally that can do service as well.

I have no complaints about the sound and it’s right outside our bedroom. The noise level is load dependent though too. I can see it powering an outdoor AC unit being annoying I suppose.

Generac would be my choice but they are loud.
If possible a diesel generator would be more suitable for generating power

My choice would be Kohler over Generac. Build quality is a lot better on the Kohler units.
