When the power goes out in Los Angeles, a business without backup stops earning. Heat waves and PSPS shutoffs have made outages a planning problem, not a rare event. A commercial standby generator keeps you running when the grid drops.
Power Route Electric installs and services commercial standby generators across Los Angeles, the San Fernando Valley, and the San Gabriel Valley.
Sizing. Most small retail and office spaces need 50 to 80 kW. Restaurants, medical offices, and grocers run higher for refrigeration, HVAC, and kitchen loads. We run a load calculation and size the unit to what you actually use.
Fuel. Natural gas runs off the utility line with no tank to store or refill. Diesel costs less up front but adds on-site fuel. For standby, natural gas is the cleaner choice.
Cost. Commercial systems run about $300 to $450 per kW installed, starting near $25,000 for a small unit. California's SGIP rebate can offset part of the cost with battery storage.
We handle the permits, the automatic transfer switch, and inspection. Most installs take a few days on site once permits clear.
