Commercial Generator Services FAQs
Generators support critical power during outages, but installation, load planning, and service requirements vary by property. The FAQs below cover what businesses can expect from commercial generator services across Birmingham.
Sizing depends on the total electrical load you want to support during an outage. Our team reviews your panel configuration, usage patterns, and priority systems to calculate the required kilowatt rating. We also account for startup loads from HVAC, refrigeration, or equipment that may draw more power initially.
Before installation, we complete a full site walkthrough and load assessment to ensure the generator meets capacity without overbuilding the system. This avoids future failures while protecting your most important operations.
Most generators can support full or partial building loads. Commonly supported systems include:
- Emergency Lighting: Exit signs, hallway lighting, and stairwell fixtures during outages.
- HVAC Equipment: Temperature control in offices, server rooms, or health care spaces.
- IT & Servers: Critical systems that must stay online to avoid data loss.
- POS & Checkout Equipment: Cash registers, card readers, and back-office tools.
- Refrigeration & Food Storage: Coolers, freezers, and food prep areas in hospitality settings.
Each generator is matched to the systems you identify as critical for your facility.
Most commercial generator installations take several days, depending on system size and site access. We start with a load review and layout plan, then handle permitting, delivery, and site prep.
