Our Services

Our engineers, who have over 40 years of service experienced combined, are not only extremely experienced but are equipped to solve mechanical & electrical issues on a first time call out basis. Our service vans are stocked with all of the essential equipment necessary to expedite a complete service and repair of a generating set, observing all necessary compliances, regulations & health + safety requirements.

Our highly competitive service contracts are rarely matched in terms of guaranteed quality for maintenance and repairs and are focused on preventative measures to ensure your system runs efficiently all year round. Comprehensive testing and maintenance plans are tailored to both your requirements and the needs of your power supply system and are therefore individually priced.

All service contracts include 24/7 on-site call outs and repairs in addition to preventative maintenance calls.
