It`s December and temperatures are rising! Unplanned power outages are a business` nightmare and soaring temperatures over summer in Australia, place a heavy burden on the main power grid. Be prepared this summer, and ensure your back-up diesel generator is ready!
Right now is the best time to have your diesel generator serviced and tested. As we approach the Christmas season and as temperatures soar, increased air conditioning, lighting and power consumption places more pressure on the electrical system and power failures are at their highest during the hot summer months.
Who should have a stand-by generator?
Businesses of all kinds depend on an uninterrupted power supply. Shopping centres, hospitals, data centres, grocery stores and delis, aged care homes, nurseries and child care centres, schools, restaurants and hotels, office buildings, all rely on dependable power sources to keep them operational. Can your business afford to be without power this summer?
Are you confident your generator will work when needed?
When was the last time your back-up diesel generator was serviced? Given the capital expense of installing a back-up power supply, it`s important to ensure such an expensive piece of machinery is functioning and ready to kick-in in the event of a power outage.
Power outages are most common over summer as the mains power authority network is at its peak demand. Higher temperatures mean your equipment and machinery will need to work harder to function properly. Imagine this pressure on regular power generation sources across factories, business estates, office buildings and shopping centres in the summer months!
How often should back-up diesel generators be serviced?
Back-up diesel generators should be serviced at least once a year; more often, depending on regional power infrastructure and stability, age of the generator and amount of use.
Ensuring that your diesel generators are regularly inspected, tested and serviced will increase the chance that your business will continue to run smoothly despite power grid blackouts.
