High-performance Generators
High-performance Generators | Generators | Electrical | Sparta
From emergency backup to round-the-clock industrial output, HEP’s high-performance generators turn raw mechanical force into a steady, optimized power stream you can trust. Each unit is precision-engineered in Sparta, marrying rugged construction with smart control electronics that automatically adapt to load changes, minimize fuel consumption, and keep harmonic distortion near zero. Whether you’re safeguarding critical data centers, powering construction sites, or off-gridding a remote cabin, our systems start fast, run quiet, and stay resilient in the harshest conditions.
What sets us apart is the obsession with lifecycle value: corrosion-proof casings, self-diagnosing modules, and nationwide service teams that speak fluent kilowatts. Choose from scalable diesel, natural-gas, or hybrid configurations and tap into a future-proof supply of reliable energy—because when the lights have to stay on, you don’t just need machinery; you need HEP generators.
FAQs
What sets your high-performance generators apart from standard models?
Our Sparta line is engineered for demanding, long-duration outages. Each unit features a brushless alternator with low total harmonic distortion (THD <5 %), an advanced automatic voltage regulator, and a Tier 4 Final/Stage V engine that meets the latest EPA and EU emissions standards. The enclosure is powder-coated, sound-attenuated steel that keeps noise below 65 dB(A) at 7 m, making it neighborhood-friendly. All models ship with an intelligent controller that supports remote monitoring via Wi-Fi or 4G, automatic exercise cycles, and detailed fault logging. Finally, every generator is factory-tested for 2 hours under full load and backed by a 5-year/2,000-hour limited warranty with local service support right here in Sparta.
How do I determine the correct generator size for my home or business in Sparta?
Start by listing the appliances, HVAC equipment, and critical circuits you want to keep running. Add their running wattages together and allow for the highest motor starting surge (usually your well pump, refrigerator, or HVAC compressor). For homes, essential-load systems typically fall between 5–7 kW, while whole-house coverage ranges from 12–24 kW depending on square footage and electric heat use. Small commercial sites usually require 25–60 kW, and light-industrial facilities may need 100 kW or more. We provide a complimentary on-site load assessment and a detailed wattage worksheet; once we know your exact requirements, we size the generator and automatic transfer switch for 20 % headroom so future appliance additions don’t overload the unit.
What fuel options are available and how efficient are the generators?
Our units run on diesel, natural gas, or propane. Diesel models consume roughly 0.10–0.12 gal/kWh at 75 % load, translating to 20–30 % lower fuel usage than older engines thanks to high-pressure common-rail injection and electronic engine management. Natural-gas versions require 100–140 ft³/h per 10 kW at full load, and propane units burn about 1.1 gal/h per 10 kW. Fuel choice is usually guided by availability: natural gas for homes already piped for NG, propane for rural sites without gas lines, and diesel for commercial or off-grid applications needing long runtimes and simple storage. All engines feature an economy mode that adjusts RPM to match the load, further reducing consumption during light-load periods.
Do you handle installation and permitting in Sparta?
Yes. Our turnkey package covers everything: a pre-installation site survey, concrete or composite mounting pad, electrical and gas plumbing, trenching, and the automatic transfer switch. We prepare and submit permit applications to the Town of Sparta, coordinate inspections, and ensure compliance with local zoning setbacks and the 65 dB(A) residential noise ordinance. Typical residential installations take one day after concrete curing; commercial units may require two to four days depending on wiring complexity. After the final inspection, we perform a startup test under load and provide owner training on basic operation and the remote-monitoring app.
What maintenance is required, and do you offer service plans?
High-performance generators are designed for reliability, but regular care protects your investment. The controller runs an automatic 15-minute self-test weekly; you only need to watch for alerts. Routine tasks include: • Oil and filter change every 200–250 hours or annually • Air filter replacement annually (more often in dusty sites) • Fuel filter and water separator service each year for diesel units • Spark-plug replacement every 3 years for gas models • Battery inspection and load test annually We offer three service plans—Basic, Plus, and Premium—covering everything from scheduled maintenance to 24/7 remote monitoring and priority emergency response. Customers on a plan also receive a 15 % discount on parts and extended-warranty labor.
How fast will the generator restore power and what happens when utility service returns?
All packages include an UL-listed automatic transfer switch (ATS). When the ATS senses a utility outage, it signals the generator to start; within 5–10 seconds the ATS shifts your electrical load to generator power. The controller keeps monitoring the grid, and once utility voltage and frequency stabilize for 60 seconds, the ATS automatically re-connects to the grid and allows a 1-minute cool-down before shutting the engine off. This seamless sequence protects sensitive electronics from voltage fluctuations and removes the need for manual intervention—perfect for second homes or critical commercial operations where downtime is costly.
