Safe & Reliable Electrical Services
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all when it comes to backup power. That’s why we work with you to choose and install the right generator for your property, whether it’s a portable unit for essential appliances or a fully integrated standby generator with automatic switchover.
We can handle new installs, upgrades or system testing for both residential and commercial setups. Need something for a remote shed, workshop or farm?

We also offer regular generator maintenance and load testing to make sure your system works exactly when you need it.

What size backup generator do I need for my home or business?
The right generator size depends on the total wattage of the appliances, systems, and tools you need to run during a power outage. For a home, a small to mid-sized generator (5kW–10kW) can typically power essential items like lights, fridge, and basic electronics. For a business or farm, you may need a larger unit (10kW–30kW or more), especially if you’re running machinery, computers, cool rooms, or security systems. To determine the correct size, calculate the starting and running watts of all critical equipment and consider future expansion. Oversized units can waste fuel, while undersized units may overload or fail.
What is the difference between portable and standby generators?
Portable generators are mobile, manually operated units that require users to start the engine and connect devices during a blackout. They’re ideal for temporary, small-scale use—like powering a few appliances or tools. Standby generators, on the other hand, are permanently installed and wired into a property’s electrical system. They start automatically when the main power goes out and can handle higher loads, making them ideal for businesses, large homes, or critical-use facilities. While more expensive upfront, standby generators offer convenience, safety, and seamless power continuity.
Can a backup generator run an entire house or business?
Yes, a properly sized and installed backup generator can power an entire home or business, including lighting, appliances, air conditioning, and even heavy machinery if needed. However, this depends on the generator’s capacity and the total load demand. Some systems use automatic transfer switches to prioritise essential circuits, ensuring the generator runs efficiently without overloading. For whole-property coverage, a detailed assessment by a licensed electrician is required to match generator capacity with your electrical setup and ensure safe, code-compliant installation.
