Healthcare Generator FAQs
What generator solutions are best for health care facilities?
Smaller healthcare facilities can install light commercial single-phase generators that run on propane or natural gas, but large hospitals need more robust emergency power systems. To keep essential systems running in large medical facilities, GSI may install three-phase backup generators that run on diesel. Heavy-duty commercial generators provide more stable power, and they can run for days before they run out of fuel.
Do you handle compliance and safety requirements for medical generators?
Yes. GSI’s hospital generator services include handling compliance issues. Health care facilities in Columbia must have emergency power systems that meet South Carolina Building Code and NFPA standards, and we make sure they do. All the healthcare facility generators we install begin generating electricity within 10 seconds of a power outage, and they can all run for at least two hours before they need refueling.
