Town of Barkhamsted

Barkhamsted was awarded a $230,000 grant to replace the 24 year old Ripley School generator and to install a new unit at the Public Works Garage. Ripley School’s generator was being replaced because they wanted to increase reliability, and the original Public Works project did not include a new generator. Tower Generator is Connecticut’s only industrial certified Kohler Dealer and they were selected from a list of 5 bidders. The Ripley School received a new 150kw generator as well as an 800 AMP transfer switch replacement.

Because Tower Generator’s bid came way under the grant amount, the Town was able to replace 2 more firehouse generators, and the install of a generator at the town Senior Center. Tower Generator was the vendor of choice for these additional projects as well.
