FAQ - What is the Timeline to Get a Commercial Generator Up and Running

March 08, 2022

We hope you and your organization are thriving! We are focused on how we can contribute to your success, which boils down to allowing you to feel confident in your backup power.

Beyond maintaining and repairing equipment, we want to make sure you have what you need in place well before any outage arises. 

Here's what we're seeing as we help our customers step up their level of preparation:

  • Lead times for generators and ancillary equipment remains extended (can be a whole year or more after ordering)
  • Engineering firms have backlogs of work
  • Processing time for both operation and AQMD permits is extended
  • Installation labor / resources may also be backlogged
  • Replacement parts are taking 30 to 60 days for delivery (in some cases, they're on indefinite backorder, which could be a sign that it's time to replace your generator)

Overall, we are advising customers that it may take two years from when you make your decision to when a new, stationary generator will be in place and operational. In the meantime, your organization may be best served by adding generator capacity through long-term rental.

About

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.
