Generator Installation and Service in Bath, Maine

Bath runs on shift work. When Bath Iron Works changes shifts the whole city notices, and a household where someone leaves at five in the morning cannot treat a power outage as a minor inconvenience. Mid Maine Generator installs and services Kohler standby generators across Bath from our Wiscasset office, about twenty minutes up Route 1.

Standby Power for a Working Schedule

The advantage of a standby generator over anything portable is that it does not need you. It starts by itself about ten seconds after the utility drops, at three in the afternoon or three in the morning, whether the house is full or empty. Nobody has to go outside in freezing rain to pull a cord, and nobody has to be home at all.

Working on Bath's Historic Housing

The city has one of the better-preserved nineteenth-century downtowns in Maine, and with it a lot of houses on narrow lots with older electrical services. Generator placement in that setting takes some thought: code clearances, gas routing, and keeping the unit off a neighbour's bedroom wall. Kohler's current 14kW and 20kW units also run quieter than the models they replaced, which helps considerably on a tight street.

Sizing the Unit to the House

Sizing is where most of the value of a site visit sits. We look at the panel, the fuel supply, and what you actually need running during an outage: the heating system, the well or sump pump, the refrigerator, and enough lighting and outlets to live normally. Whole-house coverage is available and increasingly what people choose. The reason to do this in person is that we can tell you what each option costs before you decide, rather than quoting a larger unit than your house needs and leaving you to wonder.

Kohler's PowerBoost technology matters here as well. It lets the generator start a central air conditioner or heat pump without dropping power to the rest of the house, which is the difference between a unit that technically runs and one you never have to think about.
