Generac and Kohler Home Generators

The Only Dual-Brand Generator Dealer in the Greater Houston Area

When you are shopping for a whole-home standby generator, the first question every salesperson asks is "what size?" The second question should be "which brand?" - but most companies will not ask it, because they only carry one. ARK Generators is one of the only authorized dealers in the Greater Houston Area that carries both Generac and Kohler. That means our recommendation is based on what actually fits your home, not on which brand we happen to stock.

Generac Home Standby Generators

Generac is the most widely installed home standby generator brand in North America. The Generac home standby lineup (10kW, 14kW, 18kW, 22kW, 24kW, 26kW) covers most residential applications, with larger liquid-cooled units available for bigger homes. Key Generac features include:
