Homes, Hotels and Offices
Diesel generators for homes, residential complexes, hotels and offices: sized for pumps, lifts, AC and boilers, soundproof canopy, automatic start.
In residential complexes, hotels and workplaces, lifts, water booster pumps, common-area lighting and security systems must keep running during a power failure. The generator supplies these loads when the mains fails, so that daily life continues without disruption.
What matters in homes and workplaces?
- Which loads will be supplied? Common-area lighting, booster pumps, lifts and security systems usually come first; in hotels, kitchens, refrigeration and HVAC are added.
- Motor starting: Booster pumps, lifts and air-conditioning compressors draw high power at start-up. Our power calculator takes these starts into account.
- Automatic start: With an automatic transfer switch (ATS) panel, the generator starts by itself when the mains fails and disconnects when the mains returns.
- Noise: In residential areas, a soundproof canopy is the right choice.

Frequently asked questions
What size generator does an apartment building or residential complex need?
Add up the loads the generator will supply, such as common-area lighting, booster pumps, lifts, car park and security systems, then add the starting power of motors such as lifts and booster pumps. Select loads such as booster pumps, lifts and air conditioners in our power calculator for a first estimate.
Can a generator for a home or business be quiet?
Generators with soundproof canopies run much more quietly than standard open-type sets. With correct positioning and exhaust routing, disturbance in residential areas is kept to a minimum.
