At Paramount Power Systems, we believe the true measure of reliability is proven in the field. Real conditions, real demands, and consistent performance over time tell the story far better than specifications alone.
Project Overview: Temporary Power for Rose Water Homes
That was exactly the case at Rose Water Homes, a new residential development that required dependable power before utility service was available.
To support the on-site sales office, a Kohler 20 kW RCA generator was installed as a temporary solution. What began as short-term support quickly evolved into an extended real-world test.

Continuous Operation: 3,248 Hours of Real-World Performance
The generator operated continuously for nearly six months, running almost 24 hours a day to keep the sales office fully operational. By the time permanent power was connected, the unit had logged an impressive 3,248 hours, delivering steady, uninterrupted power throughout a critical phase of the project.
Preventative Maintenance: Key to Long-Term Reliability
To sustain this level of operation, the generator was professionally maintained with weekly service inspections and timely replacement of wear components using genuine Kohler parts. This proactive approach ensured consistent performance and minimized the risk of unexpected downtime.
Standby Generator Performance Under Demanding Conditions
While the Kohler 20 kW RCA is designed as a standby generator, not for continuous prime power use, it performed exceptionally well under these demanding conditions. This real-world experience highlights both the strength of Kohler engineering and the importance of proper maintenance when reliability matters most.
Reliable Power Solutions for Small Businesses and Job Sites
For small businesses and commercial sites that cannot afford interruptions, this project demonstrates what is possible with the right equipment, attentive service, and experienced support.
At Paramount Power Systems, we deliver generator solutions that prove themselves where it counts, on the job. The experience at Rose Water Homes is a clear example of reliability in action.
