Generator Installation Services

Step 1: Assessment

We will send one of our trained and licensed technicians to assess the entire setup of your facility. We will discuss your goals and in many cases, we will find out if you need emergency power backup for the entire building or just certain sections. We will address any special needs and concerns and will take into consideration your budget for the project.

• We will make sure that your current setup is code compliant. We will inspect all panels and circuits. We will evaluate your current generator room and will advise if any improvements will be needed to comply with local laws. In many instances, the generator will have to be placed outside. We will take care of this too.

• We will determine the electrical load of the building- we need to make sure it is sufficient for your needs.

• We will determine the size of the generator. New state law requires assisted living facilities to have a generator that can run for at least 96 hours. These laws vary but we will make sure you are ACA and state law compliant.

• We will take into consideration local codes. If the generator is outside, many times fencing and landscaping must be utilized. We will take care of this well.

Step 2: Design and Engineering

• Once we determine the right approach, we can provide engineering or work with your engineer of choice

• We will work to obtain all needed permits – not only electrical but also structural, plumbing, fire-alarm, landscaping, etc.

Step 3: Removal of Old Generator and Upgrades

• We will remove the old generator and if needed we will provide temporary backup power and fuel until your new generator is up and running. ( we can provide generators up to 2000 kW)

• We will work on the concrete pads, landscaping, and layout (if local laws require)

Step 4: Installation and Testing

• We will install your new generator (or your old generator)

• We will turn the power back on and commission the generator.

• We will perform all tests to make sure everything works seamlessly.

Step 5: Training and Maintenance

• Our licensed and certified service technicians will provide training for the Facility manager and maintenance staff.
