Frequently Asked Questions
Storms can cause unexpected energy loss or HVAC failure, leading to operational downtime, damaged inventory, and missed service commitments. Preparing in advance with a solid contingency plan ensures critical systems like cooling, heating, and backup energy stay online – even during extreme weather. Aggreko helps facilities reduce this risk with modular solutions and pre-engineered plans tailored to each site’s needs.
A strong contingency plan includes a detailed site assessment, clear connection and deployment logistics, and access to pre-reserved equipment like generators, chillers, or heaters. It should also outline activation protocols, support services, and round-the-clock technical assistance. Aggreko offers end-to-end support, from site surveys to commissioning, ensuring you’re ready before storms strike.
