If yours is the only dark home, the cause may be inside the property, so look at the consumer unit before anything else. Neighbours without lights, or unlit street lamps, point to a network fault. Meanwhile keep the fridge and freezer shut, reach for a torch over candles, and unplug laptops, TVs and chargers ahead of the supply coming back.
Offices, hotels, restaurants, venues, care homes and clinics lose trade for every hour without power. We provide emergency generator hire, standby protection and coverage through our Bournemouth and Dorset teams.
When electricity fails during a working day, tills, card terminals, kitchen equipment, lifts, lighting and essential IT can all stop. A hotel may need to protect guest services, a restaurant may be unable to prepare food safely, and a care home or clinic has residents and patients to look after. Priorities differ by site, so we size the generator to the equipment and load involved.
Whether you need temporary cover after an unexpected cut or a planned standby arrangement, we can help keep the important functions going while the mains supply is down. We also service and maintain generators, so a business’s own unit is ready for use. To plan cover, list the equipment that must stay running, its likely demand, access to the site and how long you may need power.
For a power cut at home, call 105. Our generator services are for businesses.
