Backup generators for your commercial building will offer the peace of mind to maintain your business needs during a power outage. If you are in Macomb County, Oakland County, or Wayne County we can help ensure your business always has power.
Why use a backup generator?
Power outages have been on the rise the past several years resulting in a negative impact for business owners. The loss of manufacturing and production is a valid concern and can lead to overall profits and deadlines. There is also the concern for a power surge, because when power is ultimately restored that could potentially damage machinery and equipment. Commercial backup generators can resolve all of these concerns.
How does a commercial backup generator work?
Standby generators (permanent) essentially act as a backup supply of electricity when loss of power occurs. These types of generators are fueled by natural gas, propane or diesel fuel thus allowing for an alternate source of electricity. The backup generator automatically activates without delay.
What size back-up generator do you need?
Commercial backup generators are designed to maintain full electrical supply to your business so there is a number of factors to consider in determining the correct size. How do we determine the size? One of our IBEW certified master electricians will perform a load calculation test on the building. The data from this load test is then aligned with the manufacture’s criteria to determine the proper size generator. The correct size is crucial to ensure that your building will safely operate and function optimally.
How much does a commercial backup generator cost?
The cost is determined by the size of the generator. Each building is unique, making each generator size vary from building to building. It’s not uncommon for a business with multiple buildings to have different size generators for each building. We are fully committed to obtaining the best pricing from one of our multiple vendors!
How long can a backup generator run?
Commercial backup generators are designed to run continuously for long periods of time and based on each manufacture specifications. Each manufacture outlines the requirements, i.e proper oil change, air filters, spark plug replacement to the motor to ensure the best performance.

What is the longevity of a commercial backup generator?
Backup generators need to be serviced in accordance with the number of hours they run. So, even without the loss of power, generators will run a regular and scheduled cycle to aid in the function and performance. These scheduled cycles will accumulate running hours to the generator. Many businesses elect to invest in a maintenance program to ensure the unit is working flawlessly, therefore increasing the lifespan of the unit.
How to install a commercial backup generator?
Installation of a commercial backup generator requires the knowledge and skill of professional and licensed contractor(s). The backup generator is housed on a concrete pad, connected with multiple electrical conduits, power cables, communication wiring and an independent gas line. The overall installation process can be detailed and dangerous and should never be attempted by a non-licensed professional contractor.
What is the most common backup generator manufacturer?
The most frequently used generator is Generac. We have found Generac back-up generators to provide excellent results, great warranty service, and overall incomparable performance.
