Backup Generators Egham

Backup emergency power generators are intended to be used on a temporary basis. This power equipment can provide solutions for both a business and a household. Backup generators are used for power outages due to the following:

Backup generators do not automatically detect a power outage. Instead, these power generators are required to be started manually.

These small generators are powered by petrol, so they need to be refilled periodically. Business and domestic appliances can be supplied with electrical energy, and this should be done by installing extension cords directly into the emergency power equipment.

Industrial Generators Egham

In a business such as a factory or a warehouse, even a brief disruption to power can result in hours of lost productivity and revenue. In addition, a power outage in an industrial environment can be dangerous, so it is essential to plan for an emergency power outage.

Our industrial generators in stock are able to remain undamaged under severe usage conditions. They can also run for extended periods of time, and our stock includes 13 to 1250 kVA diesel generators.

Advantages of industrial generators

Some of the main advantages of our range of industrial generators include the following:

Two common types of industrial generators

Finding an ideal industrial generator

When choosing an industrial generator from our range of units, your location and power demand should generally be the main deciding factors. Our Egham industrial experts are available to advise which generator models will work best in your specific circumstance.

Petrol Generators Egham

Petrol generators are suited for use in both domestic and commercial circumstances. These generators are generally less expensive to hire than diesel generators, and they are available in various price ranges and models. In addition, petrol generators tend to be quieter, and produce less carbon dioxide than diesel models, making them ideal for domestic use.

Diesel Generators Egham

Although diesel is more expensive than petrol, diesel generators tend to be more efficient with fuel than petrol models. In fact, diesel generators use about half as much fuel during their operating hours as petrol units. For this reason, diesel generators are usually preferred when use is needed continuously, and power requirements are high.

Portable Generators Egham

Our range of portable generators is fueled with petrol or diesel, and these units allow you to plug in extension cords or appliances. This type of unit supplies 3,000-10,000 watts of power, and it can be used for outdoor activities like camping. These portable units allow you to take power wherever you travel, which could be anywhere when you are camping.

Marine Generators Egham

Many recreational and commercial boats carry marine generators to supply power to various systems and accessories on the vessel. This type of generator is different from industrial and residential generators due to the following:

If you are looking to hire a marine generator, we recommend totalling the estimated wattage usage for all appliances, systems, and instruments to be powered by the generator. You can then contact our consultants for expert advice.

Standby Generators Egham

Standby generators are mainly used to provide power in case there is a power outage. These generators carefully monitor power 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and will start up immediately when a power failure is detected.

Standby generators provide automatic and reliable power

A standby generator has an automatic transfer switch that activates within a few moments of a utility power outage. The automatic switch prompts the generator to start, and the electrical load is consequently transferred to the generator. Our standby generators in stock run self-tests which are regular diagnostic checks to ensure optimal performance.

Automatic switch off

Standby generators automatically transfer the supply of electricity back to the original power source when the normal power returns. The generator subsequently switches off and goes back into standby mode, where it waits for the next power outage.

Commercial Generators Egham

Commercial generators are similar to domestic generators; however, they have a higher power output and are larger in size. A commercial generator is likely to:

Common types of commercial generators

Petrol and natural gas are the two most common types of commercial generators. If your power requirements are less than 150 kW, then a petrol commercial generator may be the most suitable choice.

Natural gas commercial generators are low-cost power systems that are ideal for those with access to a natural gas utility. This type of generator is low in CO2 emissions, and because they are powered by gas instead of fuel, there is no need for expensive, time-consuming fuel maintenance procedures.

Event Generators Egham

There are a number of different events that require power to run efficiently. Concerts, weddings, sports matches, and business functions are just some examples of events that may need a reliable emergency power supply if there is an outage.

Alternatively, if the venue for your event is far from a building or out on a field where people are camping, there may not be a fixed power source. You will therefore need to rely on equipment like diesel or petrol generators to supply power to equipment such as sound systems, video screens, and tent lighting.

Convenient transportation

We have a range of generators in stock to ensure you have enough energy to successfully run your event. Our range of generators can also be towed, enabling you to transport the power unit easily from one location to another. In addition, you can expect the following advantages when you hire a power unit for an event:

At Emergency Generator Hire, we have extensive experience providing various clients with power for events of all sizes. We have rapid response times for delivering generators, and we always carry a range of stock for all event requirements.

Emergency Generators Egham

Emergency generators provide a power supply if there is a power outage due to various unforeseen circumstances. For example, severe weather conditions such as floods can cause sudden problems with the power grid. Although emergency generators are essential for many businesses, they are also frequently used in private households.

Common types of emergency power supply Generators

Emergency generators vary when it comes to the type of power they supply. Some of the most usual types of emergency power units include the following:

The runtime and fuel consumption of diesel models and petrol models tends to differ. You can contact our consultants to determine the most suitable and cost-effective unit we have in stock.

Electric Generators Egham

Also known as dynamos, electric generators are machines that convert mechanical energy into electricity. The mechanical energy is usually attained from a shaft inside the unit that rotates. A range of sources causes the shaft to rotate, including hydraulic, wind, and steam turbines.

Egham Emergency Generator Hire Cost

The cost of hiring an emergency power unit depends on which equipment you choose from our extensive range. The length of time you hire the unit will also determine the cost of hiring stock.

How much does a small emergency generator cost?

Various factors play a role in the price, such as whether the unit uses petrol or diesel (diesel generators tend to be more costly). Also, accessories that are required for different types of generators will influence the price.

Generator Maintenance Egham

We ensure our generators are well maintained. Apart from general inspection and cleaning, the fuel system of each unit is carefully checked for cracks, leaks, dirt and blockages. In addition, the engine oil is checked regularly.

Our generators have cooling systems that prevent the unit from overheating. We inspect and clean each cooling system and ensure there are no leakages or obstructions. Finally, we frequently test the battery of each unit in Egham to determine its ability to deliver enough starting power.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of generator do I need for an emergency?

We generally recommend 6,000 to 8,000-watt portable generators for an emergency. Our portable generators are the best emergency power generators. They are able to power the essentials of your home and extras such as the microwave, kettle, and washing machine.

Are emergency generators worth it?

Home generators are worth hiring because they provide assurance that there will be power in an emergency. Home generators essentially provide an increased level of safety and security.

How do I run an emergency generator at home?

First of all, the lights and appliances in your home should be turned off or unplugged before you start the generator. Once you have started the generator, turn the lights and appliances on one at a time to avoid overloading the generator. The appropriate extension cords should be used to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Should I buy a generator for emergencies UK?

Generators are beneficial to have because they can provide emergency power, particularly when there is extreme weather. It is, however, more affordable to hire a generator. In addition, you have many options to choose from when hiring a generator so you can find a solution that suits your specific needs.

How long can you run an emergency generator?

Overall, generators should not be run constantly for longer than 500 hours. However, smaller models like portable generators should not be allowed to run continuously for longer than 6 – 18 hours, depending on the make and model.

What size generator do I need to run my house during a power outage?

A house usually needs about a 5,000 to the 7,500-watt unit to power home appliances. For the sake of comparison, a camping generator produces about 1,000 to 3,000 watts.
