From our Lancing hub, HEP delivers rock-solid power resilience to commercial, industrial and public-sector clients who can’t afford downtime. Our engineers design, install and maintain advanced generators that kick in the instant the grid falters, safeguarding everything from data centres and medical facilities to manufacturing lines and high-street retailers. Because we control every stage—survey, specification, commissioning and 24/7 monitoring—you get a single, accountable partner focused on keeping your operations live and compliant.
But reliable backup power is only half the story. By integrating load-shedding strategies, remote diagnostics and fuel-optimisation software, we turn conventional generators into smarter assets that cut running costs and carbon impact. Whether you need a turnkey standby system or a seamlessly integrated prime solution, HEP’s energy-management expertise keeps Lancing businesses powered, protected and prepared for the future.
FAQs
What types of generators do you supply and install in Lancing?
We work with a full spectrum of generator technologies, including diesel, natural-gas, LPG, and hybrid generators that integrate with battery storage. Power outputs range from compact 5 kVA portable units for domestic back-up to multi-megawatt containerised sets for industrial and commercial facilities. All equipment is supplied from tier-one manufacturers and supplied with CE certification, acoustic attenuation and emissions compliance for use across West Sussex.
How do I determine the right generator size for my home or business?
Our engineers carry out a free on-site load assessment in Lancing and the surrounding areas. We analyse your peak kW demand, starting currents for motors or HVAC, and any future expansion plans. From this data we create a detailed sizing report, recommending both prime and standby ratings as well as fuel-consumption projections. This ensures you purchase a set that can handle critical loads without running inefficiently at low utilisation.
Do you provide turnkey installation and integration with existing energy-management systems?
Yes. We handle every stage—from concrete pad design, cranage and cable runs to the final commissioning tests. Our electricians integrate the generator with your existing building-management or SCADA platform via Modbus or BACnet so you can monitor fuel level, load, and alarm conditions from a single dashboard. Automatic transfer switches (ATS) are included where seamless change-over is required.
How often should my generator be serviced, and what does maintenance include?
For standby sets we recommend two service visits per year: a minor service at six months and a major service annually, or after every 250 running hours. Each visit covers oil and filter replacement, coolant checks, battery condition tests, fuel-system inspection, and a full function run under load. Our Lancing depot keeps OEM parts in stock and offers 24/7 emergency call-out with a maximum four-hour on-site response.
Can your generators be paired with renewable energy or battery storage?
Absolutely. Many clients now deploy a hybrid solution in which solar PV or wind turbines provide daytime power, batteries smooth short-term fluctuations, and the generator covers prolonged deficits or peak demand. Our control systems can automatically start and stop the genset based on state-of-charge and tariff signals, reducing fuel use and carbon emissions by up to 60 % compared with generator-only operation.
What support is available during a power outage, and do you offer remote monitoring?
All new installations include a five-year warranty and free enrolment in our remote monitoring platform. The generator’s controller sends live data to our operations centre in Lancing, allowing us to detect faults, schedule fuel deliveries and even perform remote resets. If an outage occurs, our on-call technicians are dispatched automatically, ensuring your power is restored with minimal disruption.
