Frequently Asked Questions

At Aggreko, we support educational institutions by providing reliable, tailored solutions that support a safe and productive environment for learning. Our energy, cooling, heating, and dehumidification solutions are designed to fit the unique needs of schools, colleges, and universities, no matter the scale or complexity. Whether it’s a temporary solution during maintenance, support for seasonal demands, or ensuring resilient infrastructure all year round, we partner with you to deliver dependable solutions to keep your institution running smoothly.


We supply temporary energy solutions including generators that can be deployed to provide an emergency energy supply during outages, or in cases where the existing energy infrastructure is insufficient. Depending on your school’s needs, this can involve connecting multiple generators to specific buildings or the entire campus, whether it’s classrooms, dormitories, or administrative offices. We typically install equipment in strategic locations to minimize disruption to students and staff.

We offer a variety of heating solutions tailored to the needs of education facilities, ensuring comfortable and efficient environments for students and staff. Our commercial heaters and heat exchangers provide optimal temperature control for classrooms, laboratories, and common areas within your departmental buildings. We work with your team to select the right heating solution that fits your facility’s size and layout, whether it’s a temporary need or as part of a long-term solution to maintain a stable and comfortable indoor climate.

To maintain ideal indoor air quality and protect educational equipment and materials, we offer an array of high-capacity desiccant dehumidifiers for educational facilities. These solutions are carefully designed to handle fluctuations in humidity that can affect learning environments. We work closely with you to assess your facility’s needs and recommend the best dehumidification solutions to ensure healthy environments in your classrooms, libraries, laboratories, and indoor athletic spaces.

We are a trusted leader in providing temporary energy, heating, and cooling solutions tailored to educational institutions. We offer fast response times, with a dedicated team available 24/7 to assess, design, and implement our solutions. Our expertise in working with schools and colleges ensures minimal disruption, with emergency energy solutions and strategic planning to avoid class interruptions during term time.

The best heating system balances efficiency, capacity, and flexibility. Centralized heating is ideal for large spaces, while individual heater units work well in smaller spaces like classrooms or dormitories. Emergency options include heater units for immediate, short-term needs.

Backup energy needs vary by the size of your school. However, mobile and modular generators can provide reliable support during emergencies by connecting to the on-campus electrical grid, ensuring that classrooms, laboratories, and facilities always have backup energy when outages occur.

Colleges often use backup generators, with larger institutions typically needing higher energy capacities from 1 MW to 25 MW to support multiple buildings or specialized facilities like laboratories and data centers. Smaller campuses usually rely on smaller backup units of around 500 kW.

Backup generators offer essential resilience and are a vital part of contingency planning and emergency response, providing seamless energy at all times to support campus operations while minimizing disruption during power outages.
