Which generator for a hotel or guesthouse?

As hotel services grow, so do the demands of their guests. Regardless of the season, every guest of a self-respecting facility expects high quality and continuity of services. Unfortunately, nature sometimes plays tricks, and technology can also surprise, and the result is a temporary or multi-hour power outage. The consequences for the hotel and its guests are immediately felt. Of course, force majeure, but will the guests be forgiving enough? How will they remember their stay?

Generator in the hotel and wedding house element of quality service

Even if the guests are forgiving, they will certainly be more willing to share good impressions with their friends. And this can happen if your facility, following in the footsteps of other hotels and guesthouses, is protected from the effects of power outages. By installing an automated diesel generator, your customers will not be inconvenienced by a power outage. What's more, when they notice an outage, they will certainly appreciate their hosts' precaution.

In addition to guest satisfaction, independence from external power supply brings even more benefits to the facility:

• Refrigerators and fridges, will not thaw - in case of a sizable stock, high losses will be avoided
• The kitchen will be able to prepare and dispense meals without interruption - the restaurant's reputation will not suffer and turnover will not decline
• Unexpected failure will not interrupt the event just organized
• The aggregate will protect us from complaints about the lack of light, internet, hot water or heating

The benefits are difficult to value, because the opinion of the facility is formed for years, and the loss of image through a power failure, can destroy years of good hotel work.

The ideal generator for a hotel?

Not all generators manufactured today are suitable for installation outside the facility. The perfect genset for your business should be resistant to rain and melting snow, so that even in the worst weather conditions the genset will start without delay. It is also worth paying attention to the level of noise emitted by the running genset, modern gensets, have very effective soundproofing.

Deciding to buy a device such as a portable power generator, you should estimate the maximum electricity consumption. It is necessary to count, the power of the most frequently used equipment in the facility, taking into account mainly:

• furnace and central heating pumps
• air conditioners
• refrigerators and coolers
• mixers, slicers, etc.
• stoves and ovens
• servers, computers and WiFi network
• televisions
• indoor and outdoor lighting
• monitoring systems
• gateway systems

Minimum interference of your employees in the operation of the unit

The device, providing energy independence, should operate without interference from the hotel or wedding house staff. In the event of a power outage, the genset should automatically start up and provide electricity again in a few minutes. Any cyclic maintenance, can be carried out by a proven team, which will ensure failure-free and reliable operation of the genset.

Today, emergency power systems are available to virtually every business. The price barrier has disappeared with the development of automatic start-up technology and the provision of high-quality power. Virtually trouble-free diesel gensets, run quietly and provide uninterrupted power supply at increasingly lower costs. Lower and lower because electricity prices are rising and the genset uses only a few liters of diesel fuel. For example, a 50kW g enset will consume about 5 liters of fuel per hour at average load. So, taking into account the price of the electricity thus generated and the benefits mentioned earlier, installing an emergency generator appears to be a very worthwhile investment.
