FAQs
What types of generators do you supply and install in Niota?
We offer a full range of residential, commercial, and industrial generators, including inverter, standby, and portable models from leading manufacturers. Sizes range from compact 2 kW units for RVs to 1 MW+ industrial sets, and we tailor each recommendation to your power-load profile, site constraints, and budget.
How do I determine the right generator size for my home or business?
Our technicians perform a detailed load analysis that measures starting and running wattage of all critical circuits or equipment. We factor in future expansion, voltage drop, and site conditions, then use sizing software to recommend the smallest unit that can handle your peak demand without overload, ensuring optimal efficiency and longevity.
What fuels are available and which is best for Niota?
We support natural gas, propane, diesel, and bi-fuel configurations. Natural gas is popular in Niota because of its continuous supply and low emissions, while propane offers long shelf-life for rural properties without gas lines. Diesel remains the go-to for heavy-duty industrial use thanks to its high energy density. Our team reviews fuel availability, runtime needs, environmental regulations, and cost to identify the best option for you.
How noisy are modern generators and can they be installed in residential areas?
Today’s generators feature advanced sound-attenuated enclosures, low-vibration engine mounts, and variable-speed controllers that keep noise levels between 55-68 dB(A) at 23 ft—about the same as a normal conversation. We also provide acoustic fencing and placement strategies that comply with Niota zoning and HOA requirements, so residential installations remain neighborhood-friendly.
What is involved in the installation process?
A typical turnkey installation includes site survey and permitting, concrete pad or wall mount fabrication, electrical and fuel line runs, automatic transfer switch integration, system start-up, and owner training. Most residential projects in Niota take 1–2 days once permits are in hand; larger commercial systems may require 1–2 weeks for mechanical, electrical, and civil work.
How often do generators need maintenance and do you offer service plans?
Preventive maintenance is recommended every 6 months or 100 hours of runtime for standby units—whichever comes first. Key tasks include oil and filter changes, coolant checks, battery inspection, and load bank testing. We offer tiered service plans (basic, premium, and 24/7 monitoring) that cover routine visits, emergency call-outs, firmware updates, and parts discounts to keep your generator operating reliably year-round.
