Commercial standby generator installation in Salt Lake City
Backup power sized to the loads that actually have to stay up: refrigeration, servers, life safety, pumps and process equipment. Transfer switches, feeders, permitting and commissioning handled as one scope.
Licensed & insured
Utah licensed electrical contractor with Master-level scoping on every project.
Diagnostics first
We test and prove the fault before anything gets replaced, so you pay for the fix.
Scheduled around you
Clear arrival windows Monday through Friday, 8 to 5, and a crew that cleans up.
Permits handled
Permits, utility coordination and inspection sign-off taken care of for you.
Commercial Generators
Backup power that has been tested, not assumed
A generator nobody has load-tested is a hope, not a plan. We commission under real load and document the results.
Automatic Transfer Switches
Service-entrance and distribution ATS installs, including closed-transition where the application demands it.
Load Studies & Sizing
Recorded demand data instead of nameplate math, so the unit is neither undersized nor wildly overspent.
Critical Load Panels
Separating life safety, refrigeration, IT and process loads onto emergency distribution that makes sense.
Commissioning & Load Bank
Transfer testing and load bank coordination so you know the system carries the building before you need it.
Generator Repair & Retrofit
Existing units that fail to transfer, alarm or will not carry load diagnosed at the ATS, controls and feeders.
How a commercial generator project runs
Most of the cost and most of the risk sit in sizing, siting and transfer strategy. Those get resolved before equipment is ordered.
- 1Load recording
We log actual building demand over time and identify which loads truly need to be on emergency power.
- 2Design and coordination
Generator size, ATS type and quantity, feeder routing, siting, clearances and fuel worked out with your team and the AHJ.
- 3Installation
Feeders, transfer switches and distribution installed with a shutdown plan that protects your operations.
- 4Commissioning and training
Transfer testing under load, exercise schedule set, and staff walked through alarms and manual operation.

Commercial Generators FAQs
Commercial standby power questions
How do you size a commercial generator?+
By recording actual demand rather than adding nameplates. Nameplate math routinely oversizes generators by a wide margin, and an oversized diesel that never sees load develops its own reliability problems.
Do we need life safety and optional standby separated?+
If the building has emergency egress lighting, fire alarm or elevator recall on generator power, code requires that emergency distribution be separated from optional standby loads. We design for that from the start.
How often should a commercial generator be exercised and tested?+
Weekly or monthly automatic exercise depending on the unit, plus an annual load test. Facilities under NFPA 110 have stricter monthly and annual requirements, and we can scope testing to match.
Can you add a generator connection without a permanent unit?+
Yes. A manual transfer switch and a docking station lets you roll up a rental generator during a planned outage or emergency, which is a common option for smaller facilities.
Who supplies the generator?+
Either of us. Many customers buy through a dealer for warranty and service reasons, and we handle the complete electrical scope. We will coordinate directly with your supplier.
