Emergency Back Up Generators
All businesses need a backup or standby power generator that is capable of keeping your business running during the next power outage. At the very least it should be large enough to power up your critical systems.
In reality, most commercial facilities do not have sufficient backup power in order to keep their business running in the event of a total power failure. Even though many have invested in an emergency or backup power system it may not have been specified correctly or could be out of date to handle a complete and/or prolonged loss of power.
Our experienced engineers can assess your facility, complete a detailed audit and determine the steps necessary to guarantee you have an appropriate emergency power generation solution in place ready for the next outage.
Our site specific solutions make sure the standby generators support your emergency power needs by encompassing, where necessary, synchronisation between the UPS system and the backup generator, harmonics, operating temperature, surge protection and future capacity allowances.
Our emergency standby generators include:
- Wide range of standby generator units available
- Capable of remaining online 24/7, without interruption
- Power output from 4kVA to multiples of 2,400kVA [check]
- Low-Emission, high efficiency generators
- Standby generator starts up if UPS battery autonomy is threatened
- Design, supply, installation and maintenance programmes
- On-site training
- 24/7 Remote Monitoring

Upgrade or Replacement
In all businesses, requirements change over time. Whether through expansion or simply due to the passage of time, equipment needs upgrading or replacing. Even over the last few years advances in technology have made today’s generators more efficient, quieter and smarter. As a result, many customer approach us looking to upgrade either their standby generator or control system.
In many cases we are asked to replace the generator control panel. Latest control systems embrace Internet of Things (IoT) and incorporate additional features that enhance performance and provide customers with more functionality. These include;
- remote working
- data capture and analysis
- cloud based data storage
- emergency alerts
- trending and interpretation of data to improve efficiency
