Kohler 14RCA 14kW Generator With Aluminum Enclosure – Scratch & Dent
The Kohler 14RCA 14kW Home Standby Generator provides dependable backup power in a compact, durable design engineered for year-round reliability. Delivering clean, stable electricity with less than 5% total harmonic distortion, this 14kW unit is ideal for protecting sensitive electronics, appliances, and HVAC systems during unexpected outages. Its quiet operation, corrosion-resistant aluminum enclosure, and advanced self-diagnostics make it a strong choice for homeowners seeking reliable whole-home protection without unnecessary complexity.
At the heart of the 14RCA is the Kohler Command PRO CH740 engine—a powerful 725cc V-twin OHV engine equipped with hydraulic valve lifters to eliminate routine valve adjustments. According to the spec sheet (page 3), the included RDC2 digital controller offers comprehensive system monitoring, including voltage, frequency, temperature, oil pressure, battery health, runtime hours, and utility/generator availability. Additional features include automatic startup, programmable exercise modes, built-in battery charging, and integrated Ethernet for OnCue® Plus remote monitoring. With multi-fuel capability (natural gas or LPG) and fuel consumption as low as 5.4 m³/hr on NG or 2.3 m³/hr on LPG at full load, the 14RCA delivers reliable and efficient standby power.
Built for long-term outdoor use, the 14RCA features an aluminum enclosure rated to withstand 181 mph winds (page 1), along with flame-retardant UL 94 HF-1 sound-deadening foam and a critical silencer to minimize noise. Sound levels measure only 63 dB during exercise and 69 dB during full operation (page 3), keeping the generator neighborhood-friendly. Installation is streamlined thanks to the sturdy aluminum base, through-wall electrical and fuel connections, and tool-free removable panels. Kohler backs this generator with a 5-year/2000-hour limited warranty, ensuring long-term performance and peace of mind.
