For businesses like hospitals, schools, hotels, or fire stations, having a standby generator is essential in case of an emergency. With these organizations, losing power is not an option. However, just having a standby generator isn't good enough.

Any failure to maintain this equipment can result in accidents, injuries and down time causing unforeseen significant expenses.
