About
Founded in 1969 servicing large generator units aboard commercial ocean transport vessels at Portland Harbor, Gowen Power Systems brings over 50 years of industrial-grade backup power expertise to commercial and institutional facilities across Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. That maritime origin translates directly to the rugged, high-stakes reliability that facility managers and property owners demand from mission-critical power infrastructure. As a Kohler Titanium dealer, Gowen specializes in the installation, service, and maintenance of commercial generator systems — but retains factory-trained capability to service virtually any generator brand on the market, a critical advantage for multi-brand portfolios. For facility managers overseeing office buildings, healthcare facilities, multifamily properties, warehouses, and industrial sites throughout Greater Portland and up to Bangor, Gowen offers both standard and custom-tailored generator maintenance agreements designed to minimize downtime and keep backup power systems fully compliant and load-ready. Their 2019 acquisition of Northeast Electric expanded the company's commercial electrical contracting capabilities, adding full-scope electrical services — including panelboards, switchgear, and power distribution work — to their core generator business. A strategic investment that same year is driving integration of generators with battery storage and solar technologies, positioning Gowen to support facilities pursuing resilient, clean-energy power architectures. A live technician answers the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — a firm operational commitment, not a recorded answering service. With thousands of generator installations across three states and an in-house continuing education program keeping technicians current on evolving backup power technology, Gowen Power Systems is a credible, long-tenured partner for commercial facility teams that cannot afford generator failure when the grid goes down.
