A properly installed standby generator offers peace of mind with benefits like:

  • Automatic Power Transfer — Restores electricity in seconds, without manual intervention.
  • Protection for Sensitive Equipment — Safeguards servers, IT networks, and machinery.
  • Business Continuity — Keeps cash registers, refrigeration, lighting, and HVAC running.
  • Compliance & Safety — Meets inspection standards and satisfies insurance requirements.
  • Long-Term Reliability — A well-maintained generator provides decades of dependable performance.

Case Study: Keeping a Distribution Facility Running

One of our industrial clients in Arden operates a large warehouse that handles temperature-sensitive inventory. During a severe summer storm, their grid power failed. Within seconds, the Kohler generator system we installed engaged—keeping refrigeration units online, preventing spoilage, and avoiding thousands of dollars in losses.

Afterward, the client told us:

“We didn’t lose a single product, and our staff kept working safely while other warehouses in the area went dark. This system has already paid for itself.”

That’s the power of planning ahead.
