FAQs
What types of cutting-edge generators do you offer in Newcomb?
We stock a full range of advanced generators, including high-efficiency diesel sets (5 kVA – 2 MW), gas/biogas co-generation units, lightweight portable inverter models, and hybrid battery-backup systems. Each series is engineered with next-generation alternators, digital voltage regulation, and smart monitoring so you can match the power profile to domestic, commercial, or industrial loads throughout the Bellarine Peninsula.
How does inverter technology improve generator performance?
Inverter generators convert raw AC output to DC and then invert it back to a clean, pure sine-wave AC supply. This double conversion eliminates voltage spikes and frequency fluctuations, which protects sensitive electronics such as laptops, medical devices, and CNC equipment. In addition, the microprocessor-controlled engine automatically adjusts RPM to the exact load demanded, cutting fuel consumption by up to 40 % and reducing exhaust emissions well below Tier 4/FPC standards.
Are your generators compliant with Australian/NZ standards and local regulations?
Yes. Every model we sell is certified to AS/NZS 3010 (Electrical Installations—Generating sets) and AS 1359 (Rotating electrical machines). Noise-attenuated enclosures meet EPA Victoria requirements for residential zones, and all diesel tanks carry AS 1692 accreditation. When we install a unit in Newcomb, our licensed electricians submit the required Certificates of Electrical Safety (CES) to Energy Safe Victoria, ensuring full regulatory compliance.
What is the noise level of your generators, and how is it minimised?
Our acoustically engineered canopies reduce sound pressure to as low as 50–55 dB(A) at 7 m; that’s comparable to normal conversation. We achieve this through multi-layered composite insulation, low-turbulence air intakes, and vibration-damping engine mounts. For ultra-quiet applications—such as cafés along Point Henry Road—we can add hospital-grade mufflers or install a remote exhaust with flexible stainless steel bellows.
What maintenance is required and do you provide servicing?
Routine service involves an oil and filter change every 250–500 hours, coolant and fuel filter replacement annually, and a full load-bank test every 12 months. Our Newcomb service team offers turnkey maintenance contracts: we schedule visits, keep digital service logs, and provide 24/7 emergency call-outs with a guaranteed 4-hour on-site response time. Remote monitoring alerts both you and our technicians to any anomaly, often before it becomes a fault.
What is the typical lead time and installation process in Newcomb?
Portable inverter units are available off the shelf for same-day pickup. Standby diesel or gas sets up to 500 kVA generally ship within 5–7 business days from our Geelong warehouse. For custom-built containerised systems, allow 6–8 weeks. Installation includes site survey, concrete pad or skid fabrication, switchboard integration, ATS (automatic transfer switch) wiring, and commissioning with a Certificate of Electrical Safety. Our project manager coordinates all trades, so downtime to your facility is usually under two hours during final changeover.
