Downtime is money
A homeowner loses comfort in an outage. A business loses revenue — every hour dark is sales walking past, food spoiling, systems down, employees idle. For restaurants, it's the walk-in cooler. For offices, it's servers and phones. For retail on Route 301, it's a Saturday afternoon with the doors closed. Commercial standby power isn't a luxury purchase; it's business continuity with an engine.
Different animal from residential
Commercial installations differ in scale and complexity: larger generators (tens to hundreds of kW), three-phase power, more complex transfer schemes (sometimes multiple transfer switches for life-safety vs. business loads), stricter code requirements, and often longer permit timelines. Fuel is usually natural gas or diesel — diesel for larger units, with on-site tank and fuel polishing considerations for long-term storage.
What we handle
Load analysis for your facility's actual demand profile — not just the nameplate total, but what runs simultaneously during business hours. Generator and transfer equipment specification. Coordination with your electrician, general contractor, or facilities team. Permits and inspections. Startup, commissioning, and load-bank testing to prove the system performs under real load. And maintenance contracts — because a commercial unit that fails during an outage is a liability, not an asset.
Who it's for
Restaurants and food service (refrigeration is non-negotiable), medical and dental offices (patients and equipment), retail (point-of-sale and lighting), offices with on-site servers, houses of worship and event venues (weekend outages don't reschedule), and small industrial or workshop operations. If an outage costs you more than a day's revenue, the math usually works.
