Kohler Automatic Standby Generators vs. DuroMax Portable Generators

By Zach Bennett • January 5, 2026

Power outages are a reality in North Louisiana, and having a backup power plan is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity. At ZB Electrical & Generators (ZBEG), we offer two proven generator solutions depending on your needs: Kohler automatic standby generators and DuroMax portable generators. While both provide reliable backup power, they serve very different purposes. Understanding the differences helps homeowners choose the best solution for their lifestyle, budget, and level of protection. Kohler Automatic Standby Generators: Whole-Home, Hands-Off Power A Kohler automatic standby generator is a permanently installed system designed to power your home automatically during an outage. When utility power is lost, the generator turns on within seconds, no manual steps required. Key Advantages of Kohler Automatic Generators Fully automatic operation (no cords, no setup) Powers your entire home or selected circuits Runs on natural gas or propane Quieter operation than portable generators Permanent installation with automatic transfer switch Can include cellular monitoring & maintenance plans Kohler standby generators are ideal for homeowners who want maximum reliability, especially those with medical equipment, home offices, security systems, or frequent outages. Once installed, your generator works in the background, whether you’re home or away. DuroMax Portable Generators: Flexible, Cost-Effective Backup Power DuroMax portable generators offer a manual, portable solution that provides backup power when needed. These generators are typically used with extension cords or a manual transfer setup and must be started and connected by the homeowner. Key Advantages of DuroMax Portable Generators Lower upfront cost Portable and flexible for multiple uses Great for essential loads (refrigerator, lights, fans, even an AC unit) Tri-fuel options available on many models Ideal for short outages or budget-conscious homeowners Portable generators are a great option for customers who want basic protection, occasional use, or the flexibility to move the generator between locations. At ZBEG, we don’t just sell generators, we design complete power solutions . Our licensed electricians help you determine: Load requirements Proper generator sizing Safe connection methods Ongoing maintenance needs Financing Options Available At ZB Electrical & Generators, we understand that investing in backup power is a big decision.
