PowerING YOUR BUSINESS
Commercial Installations from the Best
Power outages in the greater Houston area don’t just slow down your business. They shut down operations, disrupt revenue, and compromise critical systems. Generator Power Systems makes commercial generator installation straightforward, efficient, and dependable.
Our commercial installations start around 50 kW and can exceed 500 kW, often using 3-phase power to support larger buildings, industrial equipment, and mission-critical systems. These systems require larger, more complex transfer switches, heavy-duty cooling for extended run times, and sometimes multiple generators for redundancy.
As certified Kohler generator installers, our team of experts will deliver high-performance backup power solutions that automatically turn on when the grid fails—so your facility, business, or industrial site can run without interruption.
Why Professional Commercial Installation Matters
When you choose a standby power system for your business, Generator Power Systems takes care of the entire process from start to finish.
A commercial generator is a significant investment in your business continuity and operational security. But even the most advanced generator can underperform—or fail entirely—without proper installation. That’s why our team of licensed, factory-certified Kohler Titanium technicians handles every aspect with precision and care.
We don’t cut corners. Our engineers design your system to meet local building codes, complex electrical loads, and Kohler’s exacting performance and safety standards. Whether you’re powering an office complex, manufacturing plant, data center, healthcare facility, or retail operation, we ensure your backup power is ready when it matters most.
Generator Power Systems’ 10-Step Process
What is the generator installation process?
- Power evaluation
Critical information is gathered to determine your customized power requirements. Load calculation showing actual connected power load, the location of the generator, size of generator needed along with appropriate accurately sized automatic transfer switch. - Quote process and diagram
You will receive a complete and thorough explanation of the equipment required for your power needs. Equipment spec sheets are sent along with your quote, containing all the information about what will be furnished and installed for you. - Permitting and Electrical Power Distributor Approval
If the installation is in an area that requires permitting, a permit is applied for and granted prior to installation. Most installations require a one-line diagram to be submitted for approval to the appropriate electrical provider, showing the installation diagram along with the specifications on the generator and the automatic transfer switch. - Concrete pad foundations poured in place
Concrete foundations are formed and poured on your property for all generators. This proven method provides the strength and stability needed for your new generator. - Electrical systems install and inspection
State law requires us to install your generator to the guidelines set forth by the National Electric Code, even when inspections aren’t required. Your electrical install will be completed by licensed electricians and will meet or exceed code guidelines. You can rest easy knowing we have been powering Houston since 1981. - Plumbing install and inspection
Always plumbed to code even when no inspection is required. There is only one way to plumb a generator correctly. Our way, assures you of proper gas flow so that your generator operates efficiently. - Gas provider services setup
Standby generators fueled by natural gas run best with elevated pressure. This requires an upgraded gas meter from your natural gas provider. We order and schedule the gas meter upgrade for you. - Startup and tutorial
After your generator installation is complete, one of our trained staff sets an appointment to start up your generator and leads you through a detailed tutorial covering the operation of the equipment and recommended maintenance. - Bring on those power outages
Now you can sit back and relax. Even though your power is interrupted, your business operations aren’t.
KOHLER® Keeps Life Moving.
Transfer Switches
Don’t let that ordinary exterior fool you. The transfer switch plays a pivotal role in making sure you’re never powerless again. When power goes out in your neighborhood, the transfer switch is what puts the “automatic” in your standby power system.
Power restored in 10 seconds?
Meet the KOHLER® Automatic Transfer Switch.
Even before the power goes out, your ATS monitors the electricity coming into your home. When the power goes out, the ATS recognizes the loss of utility power and signals the generator to start automatically.
Once your utility power returns, the ATS recognizes the restored power and automatically transfers power from the generator back to your utility power.
Your generator then shuts down automatically and goes on standby until your next power outage.
Standby Power Equals Peace of Mind
Sensing a loss of utility power, the transfer switch starts the generator and switches over designated circuits to the generator. When utility power is restored, the transfer switch returns circuits to utility power and shuts down the generator automatically.
Because no two installations are the same, there are a variety of transfer switches available from Generator Power Systems. Our custom configuration of your system will include the appropriately sized transfer switch to meet the National Electric Code requirements.
