FAQs
What types of generators does your Robbins location offer, and what makes them “cutting-edge”?
We carry a full line of residential, commercial, and industrial generators that leverage the newest innovations in electrical engineering. Options range from compact inverter generators for sensitive electronics to large-scale liquid-cooled standby units capable of running an entire facility. Features such as smart load-management, brushless alternators, low-emission engines, and cloud-based remote monitoring set our models apart from older technologies.
How does an automatic standby generator work during a power outage?
Our standby systems are wired directly into your electrical panel through an automatic transfer switch (ATS). The ATS constantly senses grid power. When it detects an outage (typically within 1–10 seconds), it signals the generator to start, isolates your property from the utility line for safety, and routes generator power to your circuits. When utility power returns, the ATS reverses the process, cools down the generator, and places it back in standby mode—no manual intervention required.
What size generator do I need for my home or business in Robbins?
Proper sizing depends on the total running wattage of the loads you wish to support. For a typical 2,000-sq-ft home, a 14–22 kW air-cooled unit usually covers essential circuits (HVAC, refrigerator, sump pump, lights). Light-commercial sites often need 30–60 kW, while industrial facilities may require 100 kW or more with three-phase output. We offer free on-site assessments in Robbins to calculate starting (surge) and running loads, account for future expansion, and ensure compliance with local electrical codes.
How energy-efficient and environmentally friendly are your generators?
Our new line utilizes high-efficiency engines, variable-speed alternators, and inverter technology to deliver only the power required at any moment, reducing fuel consumption by up to 25 % compared with conventional fixed-speed units. Engines are EPA-certified for low NOx and CO emissions, and several models can run on cleaner fuels such as natural gas, propane, or renewable diesel blends. Optional catalytic converters and sound-attenuated enclosures further minimize environmental impact and neighborhood noise.
What maintenance is required, and do you offer service plans?
Like any engine-driven equipment, generators need routine inspections: oil and filter changes every 100–150 running hours (or annually), spark-plug replacement, air-filter cleaning, battery checks, and firmware updates for digital controllers. We provide tiered maintenance plans—Basic, Premium, and Fleet—that include scheduled servicing, 24/7 remote diagnostics, and priority emergency repairs. Subscribers receive automated alerts when maintenance is due, ensuring optimal reliability throughout Robbins’ storm seasons.
What does the installation process involve and how long does it take?
A typical residential install spans 1–2 days: (1) site survey and permitting with the Village of Robbins, (2) concrete pad or prefab composite base placement, (3) gas line extension and pressure test, (4) electrical conduit run and ATS mounting, (5) generator set placement and wiring, and (6) start-up, load-bank testing, and customer orientation. Commercial or industrial projects can take from one week to several weeks depending on capacity, switchgear complexity, and utility coordination. Our in-house team manages permits, inspections, and post-install support for a seamless experience.
