We Are A Leading Company In The World of Engine Power

Charles Equipment Energy Systems has been a Midwest specialist in industrial engine power systems since 1960, serving as a trusted dealer for factories producing natural gas and diesel engine generators. The company focuses on the sales and service of both standby and prime power generator systems, with a track record of more than one million kilowatts sold and serviced across large and small corporations, municipalities, and government bodies. Their equipment keeps the lights on and critical operations running in skyscrapers, hospitals, airports, schools and universities, utility companies, municipal facilities, and cultural centers — anywhere downtime simply isn’t an option. From engines ranging 15 to 4,500 horsepower to generators from 5,000 watts to 3,000 kilowatts, Charles Equipment handles every fuel type in the field: diesel, natural gas, propane, digester gas, landfill gas, and gasoline.

What sets Charles Equipment apart is a one-source philosophy backed by decades of hands-on experience. Customers get engines, generator sets, controls, transfer switches, switchgear, cooling systems, rental equipment, and aftermarket support from a single partner — eliminating the hassle of coordinating multiple vendors. With over $2 million in parts inventory stocking more than 10,000 computerized line items, 24-hour emergency service, factory-trained and certified technicians, and a full range of maintenance programs, load bank testing, lube oil analysis, and complete engine rebuilding capabilities, the company is built to correct problems right away and right the first time. Whether the job calls for a routine oil change, a full cogeneration installation, or a 2,000 kW rental generator on short notice, Charles Equipment delivers the power to perform.
