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.
What are the different types of emergency backup generators?
The most common approach to emergency power is to use a backup generator similar to your primary power source. This could be a diesel generator or a natural gas generator for improved emissions and lower noise. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are another effective way to store the excess energy you produce normally, ready to step into action if your primary utilities fail.
