Generator Installations

Every generator installations job we take on is handled by a qualified technician working to SANS standards, backed by a written workmanship guarantee. That matters more than it sounds: a large share of the callouts we attend are re-work on installations done cheaply by someone who is no longer answering their phone.

We size standby generators to your real essential load, advise on diesel versus petrol and on noise-attenuated enclosures, prepare the base and exhaust routing, wire the changeover and essential-loads board, and commission the set under load.

We also service and maintain existing generators, including battery, filter and coolant maintenance and monthly test-run scheduling.

Why generator installations matters

Generator Installations done badly is expensive twice — once when you pay for it and again when you pay someone else to fix it. Insurers also routinely decline claims where work was not carried out by a registered contractor, which is why every job we complete is documented and, where applicable, certified.

What’s included

Load assessment and correct set sizing
Silenced enclosures and exhaust routing
Automatic transfer switch integration
Load-bank style commissioning under real load
Ongoing generator servicing plans

Warning signs we look for on generator installations

Warm, discoloured or buzzing switches, sockets or DB board
Sockets that only work intermittently or feel loose
Breakers tripping repeatedly or without an obvious cause
A burning smell near the board, a plug point or a light fitting
Extension leads permanently in use because there are too few points
Lights dimming or flickering when large appliances start

How we handle generator installations

1. Free assessment and written quote

We attend site, inspect what is actually there, and quote generator installations in writing with the parts, labour and any compliance work itemised. No deposit is required to get a price.

2. Scheduling that suits you

Once you approve the quote we book a slot — including after-hours and weekend work where a business cannot afford downtime — and confirm the arrival window by phone or WhatsApp the day before.

3. The work itself

A qualified technician carries out the generator installations to SANS standards using correctly rated materials. Drop sheets go down, the area is protected, and anything unexpected is raised with you before extra cost is incurred.

4. Testing, handover and paperwork

We test the completed work under load, walk you through what was done, and issue your invoice, warranty details and — where the job requires it — a Certificate of Compliance.

What affects the price of generator installations

Anyone quoting generator installations sight-unseen is guessing. These are the factors that genuinely move the number on our quotations:

Cable length, routing and whether chasing into walls is required
Single-phase versus three-phase supply and the rating of the circuit
Condition of the existing DB board and whether an upgrade is needed
Quality and rating of the protective devices and fittings specified
Whether a Certificate of Compliance forms part of the scope
Access, working at height, and whether the site must stay live

Our guarantee

Our guarantee is written on the invoice, not implied verbally, so you always have something to hold us to.

Recent project

A guest house in Eldoraigne needed generator installations handled properly after a poor previous experience. We assessed the site, quoted in writing, completed the work to SANS standards and handed over full documentation. Read the full Generator Installations for a guest house in Eldoraigne case study.
