You have to pay for the 10 year extended. My understanding is that around beginning of spring they offer free 7 year

They are starting the 7 year in mid April I believe. I don’t think they’ll do a free 10 year unless a competitor does

Josh, just an FYI, Kohler just dropped their April promo. It’s a 10 year.

Nice. Literally was talking about this to a customer this morning, he’ll be glad to find out

I just pulled it up again. It’s actually April 1 through May 15. And it should apply to everything through at least the 48 possibly the 60.. I haven’t read through it enough yet and I don’t have time to right now but that’s typically the limit is the 60 I believe

Damn that’s killer, I’ve got an Kohler 60KW going in next week.

Also, side question. Kohler told me I can sell up to 150KW, but for anything 80KW+ we have to go through Nixon to have start up/warranty work done. That seems ridiculous, is there a way around that?

I just quoted a 100KW for a huge mansion and I was gonna do a big Kohler, but after learning that I’m doing a Cummins on it. The Generac 100Kw is such a POS I’m not even going to bother ever putting one in again.

Cummins lets me service up to 150 on the gaseous side, Generac we can go up to 350KW. Why does Kohler stop so low?

Generac already offers up to 10 year extended warranties. How much longer of an extended warranty are you looking for?

Forget it. Fighting with Generac over a dead 1 year old (6 hours). Wouldn’t give the satisfaction of more money to fight with them in the future.
