FAQ

Questions we hear often

What size generator do I need?
We assess your critical loads and recommend generator capacity accordingly. Oversizing is wasteful; undersizing leaves you without full backup. We get it right.
Can I use my existing generator?
Yes. If your generator is in good condition, we can install it and integrate it into your switchboard with automatic or manual changeover.
Is installation expensive?
Installation cost depends on site conditions and switchboard access. We provide a quote after assessing your setup. Quality installation is safer and more reliable.
What maintenance is needed?
Generators need regular fuel cycling and annual servicing. We advise on maintenance and can arrange annual service checks if required.
