End-to-End Generator Installation
– What to Expect

1. Site Survey


We assess your site’s power needs, layout, and available space to recommend a safe and suitable generator setup.

2. Bespoke System Design


Our engineers specify the right kVA rating, fuel type, switchgear, and any UPS integration – ensuring your backup system is reliable and regulation-ready.

3. Expert Installation


We install the generator, cabling, exhaust system, fuel tank, and automatic transfer switch (ATS) – all to UK safety and electrical standards.

4. Testing & Handover


We simulate a real outage, perform load testing, and walk you through system operation – so you know it works before it’s needed.

5. Ongoing Maintenance

Our service plans cover routine checks, fuel, batteries, oil, coolant and filters – keeping your system ready 24/7.

Q&As

Common Questions About Generator Backups

Q. If I have emergency lighting, do I still need a generator?

A: Yes. Emergency lighting helps people exit safely during a power cut – but a generator keeps critical systems like IT, security, refrigeration, and communications running.

A: Most systems start automatically within 10 – 20 seconds. If paired with a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), there’s no disruption at all – your power stays on seamlessly.

A: Absolutely. We can configure your generator to cover only key circuits – such as servers, alarms, lighting or cold storage – helping reduce installation size, running time, and fuel costs.

A: Low-noise and hybrid generator models are available. Some projects may need planning consent, but many fall under permitted development. We’ll advise based on your location and setup.

A: We calculate this during your site survey, based on your essential systems and usage. You’ll get a tailored recommendation with the right kVA rating for your site.
