There’s not only the lost productivity, but also the possibility of missing electronic data, unsafe working conditions, lost sales, and damage to your business’s reputation. A generator is the best insurance you can have against a power outage, and an experienced commercial generator installation company like 1 Source Mechanical can help you choose, install, and maintain the best one for your facility.
Ensuring the uninterrupted operation of your commercial space is crucial, and the importance of having a reliable generator on hand is undeniable. Power malfunctions can not only compromise the comfort of your environment but also lead to disruptive business shutdowns. Count on 1 Source Mechanical to set up your business' generator and safeguard your business from costly power interruptions.
A small or medium-sized building might require a generator that can put out 10 to 20 Kw, while a large facility might require 500 to 1,000 kW or even more. Your requirement depends not only on the size and layout of your building but also on how much of it you need to power in an emergency. Some businesses have to keep it running at 100 percent, while others might limit emergency power to mission-critical functions.
A professional can size your generator to get through a power outage without buying more capacity than you actually need.
Your installer will determine where to install your generator, depending on the building’s age and layout and how it’s used. Standby generators can be permanently installed outside the building, but you’ll have to consider your climate, for example, whether wind will tend to blow debris into the venting or whether the unit can be accessed in foul weather.
Whether it’s outside or deployed internally, there will be electrical work and possibly some plumbing. There can be air quality permitting. There must be adequate venting.
There can be huge differences between one building and another, and, for an old building or a building with a lot of unusual features, it won’t often be the case that a commercial generator can just be hooked up and turned on. Generators run on diesel or natural gas, and each has its unique installation and fuel source requirements.
Be sure to select an installer who can look at your building, assess your emergency requirements, and recommend and execute all the details of what might be a complex installation.
Your generator may go months or even years without being called on, but when it’s needed, it’s needed right now. It’s critical to have someone maintaining it on a regular basis, even if it hasn't recently been brought online. Batteries can fail, coolant can leak, air can get into the fuel lines. A certified program will provide a program of inspection and maintenance to ensure that your generator is ready to run at full efficiency at any time.
