During a major storm, a high-care nursing home was hit by a power outage in the middle of the night, leaving critical services without electricity. In situations like this, a fast and decisive response isn’t just important — it’s essential for the safety and wellbeing of residents.
Rapid Response Thanks to Prior Site Survey
Fortunately, GENGEAR had previously conducted a detailed site survey for the nursing home. This allowed our team to mobilise quickly and deploy a generator with full knowledge of site constraints, including size restrictions and noise limitations. Within hours, power was restored safely and efficiently, ensuring residents’ care and operations continued uninterrupted.
Tailored Generator Hire and Connection
The solution involved deploying a carefully sized generator, connected seamlessly to the nursing home’s electrical system. Our experience with the site meant we could act decisively, minimising disruption while adhering to strict safety and noise requirements.
Permanent Backup Power Solution and Ongoing Support
Following the incident, GENGEAR worked with the nursing home to install a permanent on-site generator with an automatic transfer switch, ensuring that in any future outage — storm-related or otherwise — backup power is delivered instantly.
Now, GENGEAR also carries out routine servicing and testing of the generator, providing ongoing reliability and peace of mind for the facility’s management and staff.
