Great Generator and Excellent Allied Services

Householders, industries, commercial enterprises and occupants of commercial and office buildings, factories, and plants which utilise one or more residential, commercial or industrial-scale generators, are typically aware of the essential need to ensure that this equipment undergoes regular maintenance by a professionally trained, competent and reliable service technician or team.

Service is Imperative

Typically, a major generator service will be comprehensive, while minor services may involve fewer complex processes. Nevertheless, irrespective of the type of service and inclusive of frequency that the manufacturer and/or supplier recommend, it’s not really a “nice to have” choice. Generator service is as or possibly more imperative than that which is an essential aspect of responsible motor vehicle ownership, and also the use of and reliance on most hardworking equipment.

Failing to maintain equipment and machinery through periodic service and inspection will invariably lead to failure and/or damage, which may be irreparable, leading to unnecessary expenses to replace the entire unit.

Primary or Backup System

Your generator may be used as a primary and sole source of electrical power, or as a backup system during power outages – planned or unplanned. Virtually every South African is only too aware of the inconvenience and sometimes chaotic conditions created by both types of outages and failures – at home, at work, and on the road, especially in busy areas where traffic is heavy or congested.

Business as Usual

Most shopping centres and malls, which incorporate entertainment venues and restaurants in addition to retail outlets, have put their own measures in place – large, industrial–scale diesel generators for backup purposes – that allows for uninterrupted “business as usual” for all tenants when mains power isn’t functioning.

Doing It for Themselves

South Africans are somewhat sick and tired of being left powerless in the figurative and literal dark, so increasing numbers of private residents and small, independent businesses are “doing it for themselves” by acquiring more compact, petrol-driven generators to ensure that their normal activities and appliances can continue to function as normal or nearly normal.

Petrol or Diesel

As a rule, generators for residential use are relatively small, using petrol as a power-generating source. The larger the model, the more appliances it can run simultaneously and the more functions it can perform, but bigger size and capacity may produce more sound or noise than a smaller unit.

Some models are designed to operate with less noise. These may be described as “silent”, but in reality, no generator is totally silent when working. Like petrol-powered motor vehicles, this piece of equipment requires services at specific intervals.

Diesel is a fuel that’s commonly used to power industrial-sized generators, as well as heavier or more hardworking motors, engines, and vehicles. Large trucks, SUVs, 4×4 vehicles, earthmoving equipment, cranes, and many trains utilised for heavy haulage in remote areas rely on diesel as a fuel source. All these diesel-powered pieces of equipment are designed for heavy-duty use and hard work.
