Do standby generators run on gas or oil?
Standby generators can run on a variety of fuels – the right one for you will depend on your environment, applications, and power requirements. Our expert team can recommend the most appropriate fuel source for your business – and your budget – whether that’s natural gas, diesel, or a combination of multiple fuels.
How do backup generators work?
Backup generators turn fuel into power, working alongside or in place of your primary power sources. What makes standby generators effective is that they can be configured to step in whenever primary power goes down – whether that’s due to an unexpected fault or planned downtime. As a result, you’re never without the energy you need.
How long do standby generators last?
The operating life of a standby generator installation is several decades if properly maintained. But, day-to-day, the length of time they can remain operational is limited only by fuel. With Aggreko, get a team to manage and monitor your standby generator, helping you stay prepared for every eventuality.
