From the moment your facility’s turbines spin up to the second your production lines power down, HEP keeps Briceville’s big ideas in motion. Our specialists design, install, and maintain industrial-grade generators that stand up to punishing loads, extreme weather, and round-the-clock demand. With rapid on-site diagnostics, proactive parts stocking, and remote performance monitoring, we make sure the only thing you notice is uninterrupted power—and lower operating costs.
Whether you’re expanding a mining operation, automating a food-processing plant, or safeguarding critical data centers, HEP tailors each solution to your exact load profile and regulatory requirements. Count on rugged efficiency, seamless integration with existing switchgear, and a local support team that knows your name as well as your kilowatt curve. When Briceville’s largest industries need confidence in their electrical backbone, they turn to HEP’s generators and never look back.
FAQs
What types of industrial generators do you supply and service in Briceville?
We offer a full line of diesel, natural-gas, and dual-fuel generators ranging from 100 kW to 5 MW. This includes standby, prime-power, and continuous-duty models from leading manufacturers such as Caterpillar, Cummins, Kohler, and MTU. Our team handles new unit sales, rental units, and complete lifecycle support—including installation, commissioning, preventive maintenance, and 24/7 emergency repair.
How do I determine the correct generator size for my facility?
Our engineering staff performs a detailed load analysis that factors in your peak and average kW demand, motor starting currents, critical process loads, future expansion plans, and Briceville’s local grid reliability. Using this data, we provide a load profile and recommend a generator (or multiple sets in parallel) with at least 20 % headroom to ensure reliable operation under all conditions and compliance with NEC and NFPA 110 standards.
What are the local codes and permitting requirements for industrial generator installation in Briceville?
Anderson County follows the 2023 NEC, NFPA 70E, and NFPA 110, along with Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation (TDEC) air-quality regulations. You’ll need an electrical permit, an air-quality permit for engines over 300 HP, and an on-site fuel storage permit if tanks exceed 660 gallons. Our project managers handle all paperwork, coordinate inspections, and ensure emissions certifications before commissioning.
How often should an industrial generator be serviced, and what does maintenance include?
For most prime-power and standby diesel units, we recommend: • Weekly: Automatic self-test and visual inspection. • Quarterly: Oil-level check, battery voltage test, and coolant sample. • Semi-annual: Full fluid and filter change, belt inspection, and load-bank test up to 80 % rated capacity. • Annual: Comprehensive NFPA 110 Level 2 inspection, governor calibration, exhaust back-pressure check, and infrared thermography of switchgear. Natural-gas units follow a similar schedule, with valve lash and spark-plug service every 1,500 hours. We provide service contracts that include all OEM parts, labor, and 24/7 remote monitoring.
What is the typical lead time for purchasing and installing a new industrial generator in Briceville?
Standard-stock units up to 1 MW can often ship within 2–4 weeks. Custom-engineered packages or paralleling gear may require 12–20 weeks, depending on factory backlog and UL-listed enclosure fabrication. Site preparation (concrete pad, fuel system, switchgear tie-ins) generally adds 2–6 weeks. Our turnkey projects average 8–14 weeks from purchase order to final commissioning, with expedited options available for critical facilities.
Do you provide emergency power solutions and disaster-response support?
Yes. We maintain a fleet of trailer-mounted generators (150 kW – 2 MW) staged at our Knoxville hub, ready for rapid deployment to Briceville within 2–4 hours. During emergencies, we offer temporary cabling, fuel logistics, and round-the-clock technicians to keep your operations online until utility power is restored or permanent equipment is repaired. Service agreements include priority response and discounted rental rates for contracted clients.
