Long-Term Power Backup
Backup Generators for Healthcare, Government, and Industrial Operations
Your main power supply is only as reliable as the grid it runs on. And the grid, no matter how stable it seems, can fail. Storms roll in, equipment faults occur and outages happen without any notice. For businesses and critical facilities that depend on continuous power, that is a risk that cannot be left unmanaged.
A backup generator is your guarantee that when the grid goes down, your operation does not go with it. It kicks in automatically, keeps your critical systems running and gives you the time you need to manage the situation without panic, without damage and without costly downtime.

Everything You Need to Know About Backup Generators
How long does it take for a backup generator to start up during a power outage?
Modern backup generators are designed to detect a loss of main power and start up automatically within seconds. The exact startup time will depend on the type and model of generator, but most commercial and industrial-grade systems are up and running within 10 to 30 seconds of a power failure. In environments where even a brief interruption is not acceptable, a backup generator is often paired with a UPS system that provides instant power while the generator comes online.
How do I know what size backup generator my business needs?
Choosing the right size generator depends on a number of factors, including the total power load of the equipment you need to support, the size of your facility and how long you may need to run on backup power. Getting the sizing wrong can mean your generator is either underpowered and unable to carry your load or oversized and unnecessarily expensive to run and maintain. We carry out a thorough assessment of your power requirements before recommending a solution, and because we offer free quotes, you can get expert advice with no obligation.
What fuel type is best for a backup generator?
The most common fuel types for backup generators are diesel, natural gas and liquid petroleum gas. Diesel generators are widely used in commercial and industrial environments because they are reliable, efficient and easy to refuel. Natural gas and liquid petroleum gas generators are a good option where a reticulated gas supply is available and long runtime is required. The best fuel type for your business will depend on your specific situation, your site conditions and your operational requirements. We will help you work through the options and recommend the most practical solution for your needs.
How often should a backup generator be tested and serviced?
Backup generators should be tested regularly to make sure they will start and perform reliably during a real power outage. As a general rule, generators should be run under load at least once a month and professionally serviced at least once a year. The exact frequency will depend on the age and condition of your system, the environment it operates in and the criticality of the load it is protecting. Our preventative maintenance programs are designed to keep your generator in peak condition and give you the confidence that it will perform when you need it most.
Can a backup generator power my entire facility or just selected equipment?
A backup generator can be configured to power your entire facility or just the critical systems and equipment that need to stay running during an outage. Many businesses choose to power only their most essential systems during an outage to reduce the size and cost of the generator they need. We work with you to identify your critical loads and design a backup power solution that protects the right equipment without over-engineering the system or blowing your budget.
