Augusta homeowners deal with the same storms as the rest of Kennebec County, but with a mix of housing that makes backup power planning a little different from one street to the next. Mid Maine Generator installs and services Kohler standby generators throughout the capital area from our Winthrop office, about fifteen minutes west on Route 202.
Outages in the Capital Area
Augusta's grid runs from dense blocks along the Kennebec River out to long rural feeders on both sides of the city. Downtown and the Capitol area usually come back reasonably quickly. Homes out toward Windsor, Chelsea, and Vassalboro sit at the end of tree-lined lines and wait considerably longer, sometimes for days after a serious ice storm or a summer microburst. Where you live in the city has more to do with your outage length than most people expect.

Generators for Augusta's Housing Mix
The city has a lot of older homes, many of them near the Capitol and along the river, with electrical services that were never designed with a standby generator in mind. It also has newer subdivisions on the west side where the panel is modern and the installation is straightforward. We quote both the same way: we come out, look at the actual panel and fuel situation, and tell you what the job really involves before you commit to anything.
- Kohler home standby generators sized to your panel, your fuel, and the circuits you want covered
- Complete installation including the pad, transfer switch, wiring, and gas work
- Annual maintenance and preventative service agreements
- Repair and warranty work on Kohler, Generac, and Briggs and Stratton
Why Augusta Residents Call Us
We have worked in this area since 1991 and we are 100 percent employee-owned, which means the person who quotes your job and the technician who services it five years later work for the same company and answer to the same owners. Nearly 8,000 Maine households and businesses are on an annual agreement with us. That is the part most customers end up caring about long after the install: somebody answers the phone, and somebody shows up.
Our technicians are factory trained on Kohler equipment and we stock genuine Kohler parts, so an Augusta repair does not turn into a two-week wait for a part nobody has.
Serving Augusta and Nearby Towns
Along with Augusta we regularly work in Hallowell, Manchester, Chelsea, Farmingdale, Sidney, Vassalboro, and Windsor. Our Winthrop headquarters is close enough that Augusta service calls are typically scheduled within the same week.
