Does your back up generator system need to run 24 hours a day during outages? Probably not, but just turning the system off and on could be harmful to the attached load or the generator system itself. There is a process, the engine must have time to stabilize before load is attached and also must be afforded time to cool down after load is disconnected before shutting down.
By having the experience of circuit manipulation, it allows us to customize fuel consumption use by only operating the system at either pre-determined intervals or by the use of master appliance calls which determine when the system should operate. Calculate your fuel charges for operating a generator which consumes 300,000 to 1,000,000 BTU's per hour and the numbers will prove the worth of such control over the time your system operates.
Put our experience to work for you, your fuel savings will more than offset our charges!


Delivering the necessary horsepower to turn the generator rotors or alternators can consume large amounts of fuel. It can get expensive. We can help you to control the actual time the generator is operating during utility outage events.
