Commercial Generator Installation Services in Grand Prairie, TX

There are three main types of generators depending on your specific usage needs. Consider the following when deciding upon the right fit for your company:

• Standby Generators: Automatically activate during outages and are permanently installed.
• Portable Generators: Easily transported and require manual operation.
• Inverter Generators: Offer higher fuel efficiency, quieter operation, and stable power for sensitive electronics.

Air-cooled generators use air for cooling, are suitable for more minor power needs, and are cost-effective. However, liquid-cooled generators use liquid coolant, are ideal for more extensive power needs, and offer higher efficiency. If you are unsure which type to use for your company, feel free to ask us so we can help you best meet your needs.

The size of the generator depends on your power requirements, future expansion plans, and industry standards.

You should check your generator annually for any underlying issues requiring further repairs or replacements. By maintaining your system, you will be able to better prevent it from developing problems that result in unwanted costs. We can assess the generator sooner if you exceed 100 to 200 hours of use before your yearly maintenance.

A well-maintained commercial generator can last 10 to 30 years, depending on usage, maintenance, and quality. Regular servicing is essential to ensure optimal performance and longevity, as neglect can lead to unexpected failures and costly repairs. Additionally, investing in high-quality components and fuel can significantly extend the generator's lifespan, making it a more reliable asset for any business.

Consider several key factors when deciding whether to buy or rent a commercial generator for your company. Purchasing a generator may be more cost-effective in the long run, especially if your business frequently requires backup power. It offers the advantage of having a dedicated unit that can be maintained and customized to fit your needs. On the other hand, renting can be more flexible if your power requirements are sporadic or you're trying to manage upfront costs. Renting allows you to access the latest technology without the burden of maintenance and storage. Ultimately, the decision should align with your company's power needs, budget, and operational strategy.

When an automatic transfer switch detects a power failure, it disconnects the electrical load from the utility supply and connects it to the backup generator. This process typically involves a series of relays and sensors that monitor the incoming electrical supply. Once the generator starts and stabilizes, the switch transfers the load to the generator, restoring power to the necessary circuits. When the utility power returns and stabilizes, the ATS will revert the load to the utility supply, ensuring a continuous and reliable power source without manual intervention.
