Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my office needs a standby generator? +

Ask: how many hours can we lose power before losing revenue? If you can't afford downtime (server outages, refrigeration, HVAC crash), a generator makes sense. For most offices, a mid-sized generator plus UPS system protects critical loads. We do a free risk assessment.

What's the difference between a standby generator and UPS? +

A UPS (uninterruptible power supply) works instantly — milliseconds — for brief outages or to allow graceful shutdown. A standby generator kicks in within 5–10 seconds (good for HVAC/refrigeration but not instant). Both together: UPS buys time for the generator to start.

How much does a commercial backup power system cost? +

A 20 kW standby generator: $4,000–$8,000 installed. A 5 kVA UPS system: $3,000–$6,000. Combined install with transfer switch and load study: $10,000–$15,000. Varies by facility size and critical loads. We quote after a walk-through.
