Our specialists manage all aspects of generator delivery and installation across Bournemouth. When you choose us, you can benefit from a team of experts who will assess your site and ensure a streamlined installation process.
Our services include:
Full Site Surveys: We'll review your existing power supply, assess your operational priorities, and calculate critical loads to determine which size generator you'll need.
Sizing and Specifications: Our experts will calculate peak load, starting currents, and factor in your future capacity needs.
Access Planning and Positioning: Delivery is one of the biggest considerations in generator installation, especially in busy locations like Bournemouth. We'll handle the logistics for you, including choosing a compliant and safe installation location.
ATS Integration: Automatic Changeover Switches are beneficial for modern generators, as they ensure an instant transition from mains to backup power.
Fuel Storage: Opting for a generator with a traditional diesel engine means you can benefit from higher fuel efficiency. We'll maximise the lifespan of your diesel fuel by integrating fuel storage and bunding solutions.
Seamless Handovers: Once your generator is installed, we'll test it, provide operational guidance, and issue full compliance certification.
Bournemouth's mixed residential and commercial layout may influence installation decisions. We also have to consider positioning due to coastal influences. Our experts take the following factors into account when planning your installation:
Coastal Influences: If you're in an area vulnerable to coastal spray, we'll advise on protecting the generator, including sensible siting and the use of enclosures.
Noise Limits: Residential areas and commercial premises in mixed-use locations require generators equipped with noise-reduction components.
Access: We coordinate your delivery to minimise disruptions and ensure easy site access.
Health and Safety: When installing generators in commercial and hospitality premises, we factor in distribution planning and practical cabling to ensure health and safety.
