All types and sizes of Generators

A generator acts as backup power when a blackout or load shedding prevents the grid from sending electricity to your home as usual. Generators operate by burning fuel and transforming the engine’s mechanical energy into electrical energy that may be utilised to power various electrical devices.

The two main types of generators are portable and standby/fixed.

Portable Generators – Portable generators are mostly used off-site or to provide power to a few outlets during outages or load-shedding. Most portable generators:

• Normally used to power only essentials
• Some models have electrical starters but most are pull-start
• Due to exhaust emissions, it should only be placed outside.
• Can easily be moved or transported
• Can be integrated into DB board or provide power via an extension cable

• Mostly diesel-powered but some petrol units are available.
• Has Electric start with a battery and can be set up to start automatically during grid failure
• Will be installed permanently in a fixed location
• Diesel models use far less fuel than their petrol equivalent
• Fixed or Static generators can be set up to power your whole premises or only selected essentials

Our Partners can supply, install, service and maintain both Mobile and Static Generators of any size and fuel type.

Your generator will be able to power your home or place of business whenever the power goes out, whether it’s due to load shedding, a storm, or any other grid issues. This has a lot of benefits.
