Power outages can halt your operations, cost productivity, and threaten your bottom line. Thompson Power Systems’ Birmingham location offers Cat® generator solutions for every need, from standby systems for medical facilities to temporary power for construction projects. Our team delivers equipment and service that keeps your operation running.
Reliable New Commercial Generators

We also supply supporting infrastructure. Get battery storage systems, microgrid configurations, transfer switches, and paralleling switchgear from us. Our sales team helps you specify the right capacity.
Certified Preowned Equipment
Get quality at an affordable price. Every used commercial generator in our inventory undergoes rigorous inspection during which our technicians check engine condition, test output capacity, verify control systems, and replace worn components.
Comprehensive Commercial Generator Service and Maintenance
Thompson Power Systems protects your generator investment with maintenance programs.
Automated Service Scheduling
We track your equipment’s runtime and calendar intervals. When service is due, we’ll contact you to ensure technicians complete oil changes, filter replacements, battery tests, and coolant analysis on schedule.
Fuel System Protection
Diesel fuel degrades over time, leading to injector clogs and combustion issues. Our fuel management programs sample your tank contents, treat contamination, and clean storage systems to maintain fuel quality.
Transfer Switch Testing
Automatic transfer switches require annual verification under National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes. We test switching speed and exercise generators under load and finish by documenting compliance for your facility records.
Remote Monitoring Installation
Remote Asset Monitoring (RAM) technology lets us track generator operating data. We monitor performance metrics and alert you when anything falls outside normal ranges.
Rental Commercial Generators and Support Equipment
When you need power for the short term, rely on our fleet of mobile generator sets, air compressors, temporary HVAC systems, and distribution equipment available for daily through monthly terms. Emergency commercial generator deployment responds rapidly when unexpected outages threaten your business.
