Kohler 26RCA 26kW Generator With Aluminum Enclosure – Scratch & Dent
The Kohler 26RCA 26kW standby generator delivers exceptional whole-home backup power with premium engineering, low maintenance needs, and ultra-clean output designed to protect your home’s sensitive electronics. Built to handle large residential electrical demands, this powerful generator supplies consistent voltage and frequency regulation with less than 5% harmonic distortion—ensuring dependable performance for HVAC, appliances, computers, and smart-home systems during prolonged outages. Quiet operation, smart exercise modes, and advanced digital controls make it both user-friendly and exceptionally reliable.
At its core, the 26RCA features Kohler’s Command PRO 999cc engine with hydraulic valve lifters, eliminating routine valve adjustments and enhancing long-term durability. The RDC2 digital controller—shown on page 3 of the spec sheet—monitors voltage, frequency, engine temperature, oil pressure, battery health, and more while offering isochronous frequency control for smooth operation under varying load conditions. With multi-fuel capability (natural gas or propane), homeowners get flexible installation options and dependable fuel efficiency, supported by detailed consumption data (page 3) for precise planning.
Designed for outdoor resilience, the 26RCA comes housed in a corrosion-resistant aluminum enclosure that meets a 181 mph wind rating (page 1). The removable, tool-free panels allow for easy maintenance access, while integrated sound-deadening foam and a critical silencer keep noise levels low—only 56 dB during exercise and 67 dB during normal operation. Backed by Kohler’s premium 5-year/2,000-hour warranty, this generator delivers industrial-grade reliability for residential use.
