The details that shape the project.
Before defining the work, we review how your property operates and what the equipment needs.
Load & duration
Identify the equipment that will operate and how long the temporary or standby arrangement is needed.
Site logistics
Plan equipment placement, access, cable routes, and interfaces with site traffic and other trades.
Supply & operation
State who supplies and maintains the generator, fuel, rental equipment, and temporary distribution.
Changeover and removal
Agree on shutdown windows, critical loads, utility coordination, and who operates the temporary source. Identify testing, circuit labels, operating handoff, and removal of temporary distribution when permanent power is ready.
A useful starting point.
Send what you have. These details help us prepare for your generators & temporary power project.
- Equipment/load list
- Site plan and proposed generator location
- Construction schedule or backup requirements
- Rental/provider contacts and available drawings
Common questions.
Do you supply the generator?
Equipment supply, rental, fuel, and maintenance should be identified in the proposal. The electrical installation scope alone does not include every part of generator operation.
Is temporary power the same as permanent service?
No. Temporary arrangements are planned for their intended use and duration, with a separate path to permanent power where needed.
Can a generator support the entire building?
That depends on the building loads, generator, starting requirements, and system design. Start by identifying which loads actually need backup.
