In the world of power generation, reliability isn’t just preferred but expected. Whether keeping mission-critical facilities online or supporting remote operations, the solutions from PowerHouse deliver consistent, trouble-free power under any conditions.
Meeting the Challenge
Before adopting Kubota engines, PowerHouse Diesel Generators faced a set of familiar challenges shared across the generator industry:
- Engine availability
- A single supplier with a full range of alternative-fuel options
- Competitive pricing
- Proven reliability and durability
To continue delivering high-quality generator systems, they needed an engine partner that could match their standards: one with a diverse engine lineup, consistent supply and the performance required across a broad range of applications.
Why Kubota Engines
For PowerHouse, the decision to shift to Kubota came down to trust. Trust in the name, trust in the product and trust in the support behind it.
“Kubota is well respected in the industrial engine and generator space,” says Scott Tyler, President at PowerHouse Diesel Generators. “They’re known for reliability and offer a full lineup of constant-speed engines with alternative fuels like gasoline, LP, diesel and natural gas.”
Kubota engines stood out immediately for their quiet performance, ability to meet specifications and the strong support network provided by the distributor Engine Power Source (EPS).
Celebrating Partnerships
The partnership with Engine Power Source has been instrumental in PowerHouse’s success with Kubota engines.
“We meet regularly to review orders. They’re available for support, very professional and fully integrated into our business,” Scott explains. From technical assistance to service response, EPS provides the level of support needed to keep PowerHouse production efficient and customers satisfied. Kubota’s OEM support team also remains proactive, visiting on-site and helping navigate challenges when they arise.
A Seamless Integration
Integrating Kubota engines into PowerHouse’s generator designs proved exceptionally efficient. Detailed installation requirements were readily available, and CAD models supplied by EPS allowed PowerHouse engineers to streamline their design and manufacturing process. All questions were answered quickly, enabling smooth integration from prototype to production. “The ease of installation and the overall reliability and support has been fantastic,” Scott notes.
PowerHouse now uses a wide range of Kubota engines – including the D1803, V2403, D1105-BG, V1505-BG, V2203-BG, V3300-BG, V3600TBG and V3800TBG – across multiple generator platforms.
The Results
Kubota’s impact was immediate. PowerHouse reports:
- Reduced downtime
- Minimal maintenance
- Excellent field reliability
- Strong parts availability and service support
Although the company uses additional engine lines, Kubota has become the preferred choice for specialty customers due to its consistent performance and ease of ownership.
“Our customers benefit from reliability, prompt service and strong parts availability,” Scott says. “EPS has been great at keeping parts available and supporting the long-term maintenance of our products.”
Looking Ahead
PowerHouse Diesel Generators sees Kubota as a long-term partner. Whether expanding their constant-speed engine offerings or exploring new opportunities, such as a 20kW marine engine they’re currently reviewing, Kubota remains central to their future plans.
“Overall, fantastic,” Scott shared with us. “Kubota has great products that are supported well. Designing with Kubota engines is easy because information and technical assistance are always available.”
For PowerHouse Diesel Generators, Kubota engines represent more than just power. They represent confidence. Confidence in reliability, confidence in performance and confidence that every generator leaving their facility is powered by a proven, dependable engine built to last.
