Frequent power outages during summer months are due to Brownouts. This is when air-conditioning usage peaks and the electrical systems are overloaded and the generating facility is unable to provide enough power, which results in a “sag”. Brownouts can also occur when severe storms disrupt the distribution grid, or when there are other problems in the system. Brownouts can be short-term (minutes to hours) or long term (days or more) depending on how quickly an electric company can get full power running.
Don't wait until the middle of a power outage to discover your business is without power. Loftin Equipment Co. carries a range of KOHLER Power Industrial Generators available in diesel and gas from 10kW to 4MW.

US Power Outages and The Necessity for Standby Generators
This Information Sheet discusses the threats to our current grid system and the importance of installing a standby generator system when the primary utility grid power is off-line:
Kohler has developed the Power Solutions Center (PSC). The PSC has been developed with your input and your request for an improved sizing and specification tool. We have also incorporated additional tools to make the job of sizing and specifying a power system easier.
The PSC is Kohler’s user-friendly spec and sizing program. An innovation so advanced, it will change the way power systems are specified.
