Our services
Generator and genset installation in Liverpool
We supply and install diesel generators from 10kVA to 2000kVA. Each job starts with a free site survey to work out your load, where the set will go and how it connects to your supply. We then manage the installation through to commissioning, including cabling and the changeover panel.
As a Pramac distributor, we supply open, silent and extra silent sets, and finance is available. You can see generators at our North West showroom in Widnes before you choose one.
Generator repairs and emergency call-outs
If your generator fails or won’t start, call us. An engineer will inspect the set, use diagnostic equipment to find the cause, carry out the repair and test it before leaving. You’ll get a written report of what was found and anything to watch for. Generator repairs
Servicing and planned maintenance
A standby generator can sit for months without running, but its batteries, diesel and coolant still wear out. Our annual PPM visits cover oil and filters, the cooling and fuel systems, battery testing and a load test. Gas-powered systems also get an annual gas safety inspection. Generator servicing and maintenance
UPS systems
A generator takes a few seconds to start and pick up the load. For server rooms, labs and control systems, a UPS covers that gap. We install UPS systems, maintain them and replace their batteries. UPS solutions
Switchgear, control panels and fuel polishing
The changeover equipment matters as much as the engine. We maintain switchgear, and supply and repair control panels and automatic transfer switches. We also polish stored diesel to remove water and contamination before it blocks filters.
