Frequently asked questions

Q: How do I know what size generator my facility needs?

 A: Sizing your generator correctly is key. We assess your site’s total electrical load, start-up currents, future growth, and any mission-critical systems (like servers or life-safety equipment). Then we match an appropriately rated system with the right OEM manufacturer — so you get reliability, not just horsepower.

Q: What’s included when you install a generator?

 A: With our turnkey installation, we handle site assessment, system design, equipment delivery, fuel or natural gas hook-up, electrical integration, start-up testing, and commissioning. We make sure everything meets safety and code requirements (such as NFPA 110 and OSHA standards) before we hand things over.

Q: Can I rent a generator instead of buying one?

 A: Absolutely. Our rental fleet includes portable and trailer-mounted units available for short-term or long-term use — ideal for outages, construction, maintenance windows, or special events. We deliver, set up, monitor and support the unit, so you stay powered without asset risk.

Q: How often should my generator be serviced?

A: While usage and environment vary, a good rule is a full professional service at least once a year. However, for critical operations (hospitals, data centres, manufacturing), more frequent checks (semi-annual or quarterly) may be advisable. Weekly or monthly visual inspections help identify early issues.

Q: What if I need help outside normal office hours?

 A: We’re on call 24/7. If you experience a failure, outage, or urgent issue, our emergency team is ready to respond. You’ll reach a live technician, not just a voicemail, and we’ll mobilize quickly to keep your operations running.

Q: Why is preventive maintenance important?

A: A generator often sits idle but when it’s needed, it must perform. Regular maintenance catches small faults before they become major failures, keeps your system efficient, extends equipment life, and ensures compliance with standards.

Q: Will my generator really work when the power goes out?

 A: Yes. If it’s properly maintained, sized correctly, and installed with the right system components. Our load bank testing, ATS (automatic transfer switch) checks, and full-system inspections ensure your backup power system is ready for real-world conditions.
