Generator services

Generator maintenance planned around your site

From its Centurion base, EMPS Electrical Power Solutions (Pty) Ltd helps Gauteng customers maintain existing standby generators before small issues become disruptive failures. Maintenance enquiries from selected KwaZulu-Natal projects can also be scoped around site access, operating duty and travel requirements.

Maintenance follows the way the generator is used

A lightly used standby set, a generator that starts during every outage and a unit supporting a production facility do not have the same maintenance priorities. EMPS starts by reviewing operating hours, start history, load behaviour, environment and known warnings so that the proposed work is relevant rather than a generic checklist.

Mechanical and electrical checks in one visit

The assessment can cover engine condition, fluids, filters, belts, hoses, battery and charging performance, cooling, fuel-system observations, alternator output, control-panel indications and visible cabling. Any work recommended beyond routine maintenance is explained separately, including the need for parts or a follow-up repair.

Useful records for the next service

A clear service record helps a facilities team track running hours, recurring alarms, inspection findings and outstanding risks. Where the site can provide previous reports and operating information, these details help establish sensible intervals and identify changes that need closer investigation.

Request a maintenance scope

Send the generator make and model, approximate size, location, fuel type, running hours if known and the date of the last service. EMPS can then discuss a suitable inspection or planned-maintenance scope for a Gauteng site, or review the logistics of a selected KZN project.

Maintenance contracts are scoped around the site

Where ongoing support is being considered, EMPS can discuss a maintenance-contract enquiry around the generator make and model, operating duty, site access, service history and the inspections or response requirements the customer wants reviewed. Contract terms, visit frequency, inclusions, response arrangements and pricing are not assumed; they are confirmed only after the equipment and site scope have been assessed.

What to expect

Information to include with a maintenance enquiry

Every site and generator is different. The final scope is confirmed after we understand the equipment, access conditions and work required.

  • Generator make, model and approximate kVA rating
  • Centurion, Gauteng or KwaZulu-Natal site location
  • Estimated running hours and recent start history
  • Date and details of the last known service
  • Any warning lights, alarms, leaks, noise or starting changes
  • Whether the generator supports a home, business, facility or industrial process

Service questions

Frequently asked questions

How often should an installed generator be maintained?

The appropriate interval depends on the generator instructions, running hours, start frequency, site conditions and the consequence of an outage. EMPS can review those factors and recommend a practical schedule rather than assuming one interval suits every installation.

Can EMPS maintain a generator it did not install?

Yes, an existing installed generator can be assessed for maintenance even if another contractor supplied or installed it. The team will need enough make, model and site information to confirm a workable scope.

Does planned maintenance include replacement parts?

Routine service items and any additional replacement parts are identified during scoping. Parts and completion remain subject to correct identification, suitability and availability; approval is obtained for work outside the agreed maintenance scope.
