Premium Power Systems

Premium Power Systems operates out of Austin as an electrician outfit focused on standby generators and backup power setups. With more than thirty years handling power generation work, the company stays locally owned and takes on residential jobs along with some industrial and government needs across the region. They handle everything from initial system design to emergency response when outages hit, using name-brand equipment like Kohler units to keep homes and businesses running during storms or grid failures. Homeowners in Austin deal with sudden weather shifts that knock out lines, and this crew steps in to match the right generator size and transfer switches to each property's load demands without unnecessary extras.

Their day-to-day work covers full generator installs, regular maintenance visits, and quick fixes when units fail to start. Joe has shown up on holidays to sort power issues after remodels where the generator stayed silent, while also handling oil changes, filter swaps, and thorough cleanings that keep equipment in top shape. Jonathan works alongside him on bigger jobs like the Kohler whole-house install that followed the 2021 ice storm, making sure the system ties in properly and stays ready. The crew tracks yearly service schedules, answers ongoing questions from owners, and walks through exactly how each component operates so nothing gets overlooked during outages or routine checks.

Customers keep coming back because the team shows up fast when power drops, explains every step without rushing, and delivers clean reliable results on both new installs and repeat maintenance. Reviews highlight Joe's polite approach during detailed cleanings and his willingness to handle holiday calls, plus the group's steady availability for questions long after the job ends. That combination of quick response times, solid workmanship on the equipment, and clear ongoing communication builds the repeat business and high marks. DIRT Score 4.6 from 28 reviews on Finds.

“Capital Power Systems goes above and beyond! Joe came out to help us, on a holiday, after we had just finished a remodel and had problems with our power. I thought the generator would have turned on and it didn't, so I contacted Capital Power Systems since they do our regular maintenance on the generator. It turns out it was not our generator, and a breaker was tripped that looked like it was on. He helped us in such a huge way. I will be forever grateful!”

“Joe was professional and polite. Yes he did change the oil and filters, but he also took time to explain and clean the unit in detail. I highly recommend Joe and his generator company.”

“We installed our Kohler all house generator after the ice storm of 2021 in Austin and still during the pandemic. Joe and his team made the process seem easy, and they are always available when I have questions. The team keeps up with the yearly maintenance. I highly recommend Capital Power Systems for your generator needs.”

“Capital Power Systems was truly full-service from start to finish for the installation and ongoing maintenance of our generator. The entire team is extremely knowledgeable and professional, and the process was seamless. Joe and Jonathan went above and beyond with their customer service and expertise. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of our questions, and made sure we felt confident every step of the way. It’s rare to find a company that combines technical skill with such outstanding service. To top it off Joe and Jonathan researched companies to help my parents in South Texas and have come back to my house to address any questions/issues I have had. They have gone beyond the call of duty. Highly recommend Capital Power Systems to anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy generator installation and maintenance.”

“Excellent service! I have been using Capital Power for the last 4 years to service my Kohler 12KW generator. Most recently, I had an incident during the winter storm and my generator would not run it's scheduled exercise. This concerned me since there was a more elevated chance of power failure. I reached out to them (on a Sunday) and received a response within minutes! Because I have the cell service unit, they were able to diagnose remotely and get the generator up and running in no time. I highly recommend them for all of your generator needs.”
