CD & Power Celebrates 40 Years of Trusted Generator Services 🎉

June 10, 2025




Let us reintroduce ourselves

This year, CD & Power proudly celebrates 40 years of keeping businesses powered and operations running smoothly. What began in 1985 as a small diesel repair shop has grown into a trusted, woman-owned power solutions provider serving Northern California and Northern Nevada.

With locations in Martinez, Sacramento, and Reno, CD & Power specializes in generator sales, rentals, turnkey installations, and preventive maintenance. Our team works closely with wineries, production facilities, and commercial operations to ensure seamless backup power and minimize downtime — especially during harvest season or planned outages.

Whether you're preparing for PSPS events, need a temporary rental, or want expert support for your facility’s backup power plan, we’re here to help with solutions built on reliability and integrity.

As we celebrate 40 years of service, we remain committed to supporting our partners with responsive, knowledgeable, and dependable generator expertise.

Power up with us — and here’s to the next 40 years of keeping operations moving

About

CD & Power is a certified Woman-Owned Business, with License #757162, A, C-10. We sell, rent, and maintain backup generators for government agencies, grocery stores, office buildings, hospitals, construction sites, special events, disaster relief, planned power outages, and more!

Our Mission is to be the Very Best Generator & Engine Service Company in all of Northern California, and Beyond!

At CD & Power our mission statement is a way of life. “We power your success through Innovation, Education and Inspiration”. The day-to-day operations and management of  CD & Power is headed by Lisa Carter who focuses her considerable effort on building a team of generator experts to offer generator sales, installation, service, repair, maintenance and parts for industrial users throughout Northern California.

How We Got Started

CD & Power was established in 1985 by Chuck Uischner, [who is best known as “The Big Tall Bald Guy”]. Chuck would fix all kinds of industrial engines and equipment during the day, and then do books at night. Back in those days, the generator and engine parts department consisted of a small desk and a shelf. Chuck expanded his generator and engine repair business by taking chances, and surrounding himself with motivated people.

In 2013 Chuck transitioned ownership to his daughter, Jill Collaro as President, and his son Donald Uischner as Vice President. Now in our 30th year, CD & Power continues to be a family-run operation with a close-knit network of employees. Under Jill’s able leadership the company earned certification from the State of California as a WBE or Woman-Owned Business Enterprise.

Give us the opportunity! You will enjoy a powerfully different service experience. Here are a couple reasons why:

  1. We will always have a person answer the phones during office hours. We believe it is impossible for a machine to understand your problem.
  2. We will remember that your problems are our business.
  3. We will be diligent in resolving your problem.
  4. We will take responsibility for our actions.
  5. We will continually train our personnel.
  6. We are always just a phone call away — Anytime, 24 hours a day.
