What a Commercial Backup Power System Includes

A complete commercial emergency power system includes the generator itself, an automatic transfer switch (ATS) that detects an outage and switches your facility to generator power within seconds, a distribution system that routes generator power to your critical loads, and a monitoring system that confirms your generator is ready when you need it.

Automatic Transfer Switches: The Critical Component

The automatic transfer switch monitors your utility power, detects an outage, starts the generator, confirms it’s stable, and transfers your facility’s load — all in seconds. Our team specifies and installs ATS equipment sized for your actual load, tested to your operational requirements, and configured for your specific facility layout.

Permitting and Code Compliance in DFW

Generator installations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area require electrical permits, inspections, and in many cases coordination with the local utility and fire marshal. Requirements vary by city. Emertech manages the entire permitting process as part of every installation.

Ongoing Generator Maintenance

A generator that hasn’t been exercised and maintained is a generator that may not start when you need it. Emertech offers maintenance programs that include regular exercise runs, load bank testing, fuel system service, transfer switch testing, and inspection reports.
