Industrial Applications | Generators | Electrical | Huntsville
From Redstone Arsenal’s cutting-edge labs to the production lines along Research Park Boulevard, Huntsville’s industries run on relentless power demands. HEP keeps that momentum alive with tailor-made generators engineered to outperform in harsh, mission-critical environments, delivering steady volts when storms, grid failures, or high-stakes tests threaten to pull the plug.
Partnering with HEP means securing a full life-cycle power strategy—site assessment, custom design, turnkey installation, remote monitoring, and 24/7 emergency response. Our veteran electricians and factory-certified technicians work shoulder to shoulder with plant managers to maximize uptime, meet every regulatory standard, and protect the bottom line, so your teams can focus on innovation instead of interruptions.
FAQs
What types of industrial generators do you supply and service in Huntsville?
We support the full spectrum of industrial-grade power systems used throughout the Huntsville area, including diesel and natural-gas standby generators (20 kW to 3 MW+), continuous-duty prime power units for remote operations, mobile tow-behind generators, and parallel/backup systems for mission-critical facilities. Our factory-authorized technicians are trained on leading brands such as Caterpillar, Cummins, Kohler, Generac Industrial, MTU, and HIPOWER, allowing us to provide procurement, installation, warranty work, and long-term service for virtually any make or model.
How do I determine the right generator capacity for my facility?
Proper sizing starts with a detailed load study. Our engineers perform on-site measurements of running and starting amperage, evaluate power-factor requirements, and review future expansion plans. We then apply NEC 700, 701, and 702 guidelines plus local Huntsville Utilities interconnection rules to recommend the optimal kW / kVA rating, fuel type, and switchgear. A correctly sized generator avoids nuisance trips, prevents wet-stacking, and minimizes fuel consumption while meeting all critical loads.
What preventive maintenance services do you offer for industrial generators?
Our preventive maintenance programs are tailored to the demanding runtime expectations of manufacturing plants, data centers, and defense contractors in North Alabama. Standard packages include quarterly or semi-annual inspections, oil and coolant analysis, fuel polishing, load-bank testing, battery/charger checks, control panel firmware updates, and NFPA 110 documentation. We also provide vibration analysis and infrared thermography to detect issues before they cause downtime.
How quickly can your emergency repair team respond to a generator failure in Huntsville?
Because we stock critical spare parts locally and maintain an on-call crew 24/7/365, our average dispatch time inside the Huntsville city limits is under 2 hours. For facilities on Redstone Arsenal or in surrounding counties (Madison, Limestone, Morgan), response typically falls within 3 hours. Our technicians arrive in fully equipped service vehicles capable of on-site diagnostics, component replacement, and temporary power tie-ins to restore operations fast.
Are there local codes or permitting requirements for installing industrial generators in Huntsville?
Yes. Industrial generator installations in Huntsville must comply with the latest NEC, International Fire Code, and City of Huntsville Mechanical & Building Codes. Projects over 50 kW require an electrical permit, fuel-storage approval from the Fire Marshal, and—if paralleling with the grid—a Huntsville Utilities interconnection agreement. Our project managers handle all plan submittals, load-calculation documents, and inspections, ensuring your system passes compliance the first time.
Do you provide turnkey solutions, including electrical integration and load testing, for new generator installations?
Absolutely. We manage the entire lifecycle: site survey, concrete pad fabrication, fuel system engineering, rigging and setting the genset, ATS and switchgear integration, SCADA/BMS communications, grounding, and final commissioning. After installation, we perform full resistive or reactive load-bank testing (per IEEE 115) to validate capacity and reliability. You receive a complete commissioning report, operator training, and a customized maintenance schedule to keep your investment running for decades.
