Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly do backup generators turn on during an outage?

Our systems utilize advanced automatic transfer switches that detect power loss instantly. Within seconds, the generator starts up and safely transfers the critical electrical load, ensuring virtually no disruption to your essential operations.

Do you provide natural gas or diesel generators?

We provide both options depending on your facility’s location, infrastructure, and specific resiliency goals. We help you weigh the benefits of a continuous natural gas supply against the independent reliability of on-site diesel storage.

Are your generator installations compliant with life safety codes?

Absolutely. We design and install all emergency power systems to meet or exceed strict life safety codes and regulatory standards required for public schools and municipal facilities.
