Frequently asked questions

The potential savings for clients are contingent upon the package they select. By and large, clients who subscribe to our monitoring services, which incorporate the following, can expect extended generator lifespans, identification of opportunities for fuel savings based on their industry and energy requirements, lower maintenance expenses, decreased costs for call-outs and after-hours work, diminished dependence on maintenance management resources, and elimination of load testing expenses. Additionally, clients can avoid the opportunity cost of a generator failing to start.

Clients who opt-in on our management services benefit from our load management expertise that helps clients protect their generators from over or under-utilisation, while our refuelling planning and governance help clients avoid refuelling from taking place too early, have access to benchmarked contractors at fair rates and have a prioritised diesel supply agreement in place. 

In the long run, our clients can anticipate a reduced need for staffing, a prolonged lifespan of their generator fleet, and the prevention of one significant generator failure per generator every five years. Additionally, the accumulation of data over time results in improved maintenance and scheduling for clients and ensures that major generator services remain up-to-date.

Online monitoring is a more reliable, 24/7 service solution that offers realtime access to relevant data. Organisations that cannot afford downtime, such as hospitals and dairies, save on the costs of hiring people for the sole purpose of watching over their generators at night. Furthermore, the data collected is accurate and more detailed and allows for data trending, which empowers you to make informed decisions about your generators.
