When an outage strikes and your generator kicks in, what will it power?
We asked Carlos Navas, Project Manager for generator installations at CD & Power, to help us answer this question. “In short, a generator can be configured to power whatever you want it to power,” Carlos explained. Having also served as an Account Manager, working with dozens of customers around the Bay Area, he was able to relay more of the possibilities you should consider.

In 2017 things were extra hectic because we brought on 12 (yes TWELVE) new portable generators ranging from 50KW to 1MW. We spent $1,000,000 on these generators– one of the biggest investments our company made in 2017.
A generator failure can be a full blown, four-alarm emergency for a facility. It can be a nightmare and it is not the time to start dreaming up an emergency, contingency plan.

Eleven years ago we were proud to rank as the leading independent, industrial generator maintenance company in the Bay Area. As such, we secured business with some of the most prestigious organizations around, including retail chains and telecommunications companies, all voracious users of power and consequently, back-up power.
In Northern California we are fortunate to live in an expanse of boundless natural beauty. But from time to time Mother Nature reminds us of the essential wildness that stirs within it. Case in point: the recent wildfires in Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Butte and Solano Counties.
Many of our clients like to get to know the people they talk with on the phone or who travel to their site to service their generators. We wanted to make that a little easier for our
