Emergency Power Generator Testing

Ensure Your Backup Power Works When It Matters Most

When the power goes out, your emergency generator is the lifeline that keeps essential systems running—fire alarms, emergency lighting, life-safety equipment, data servers, and critical operations. But a generator is only as reliable as its last test.

Our Emergency Power Generator Testing services verify that your backup power system will perform flawlessly in an actual outage, in compliance with NFPA 110, NFPA 70, and local regulatory requirements.

Why Generator Testing is Essential

Power failures can happen at any time due to:

Natural disasters (earthquakes, storms, wildfires)
Utility grid failures or blackouts
Equipment breakdowns
Scheduled maintenance shutdowns

If your generator hasn’t been tested regularly, you risk equipment failure, safety hazards, and non-compliance with safety codes. Routine testing ensures your generator is always ready to perform under load.

Our Emergency Power Generator Testing Services

1. Visual & Operational Inspection

Check for leaks, corrosion, and wear
Inspect fuel system, exhaust, cooling, and lubrication
Verify control panel functionality

2. Load Bank Testing (NFPA 110 Requirement)

We simulate real-world electrical demand to verify the generator’s ability to handle the building’s load without failure.

3. Transfer Switch Testing

We test the automatic transfer switch (ATS) to ensure smooth and immediate power transition during an outage.

4. Battery & Electrical Checks

Voltage output testing
Battery condition and charging system verification

5. Safety & Compliance Documentation

We provide detailed inspection reports, test results, and certificates for local AHJ compliance.

Testing Frequency Recommendations (Per NFPA 110)

Monthly: Run generator under load for at least 30 minutes
Annually: Perform comprehensive load bank test
After Repairs: Re-test before returning to service

Q&A: Emergency Power Generator

Q1. Why is emergency generator testing important?

A1: Testing ensures your backup power system works when the utility grid fails. Without regular testing, you risk generator malfunction, safety hazards, and non-compliance with NFPA and local code requirements.

Q2. How often should emergency generators be tested?

A2: NFPA 110 recommends running generators under load for at least 30 minutes every month, with a comprehensive annual load bank test. Additional testing should be performed after repairs or modifications.

Q3. What is load bank testing?

A3: Load bank testing simulates real electrical demand to confirm the generator can handle your building’s power needs without failure. It verifies performance under stress and ensures the unit will operate reliably during an outage.

Q4. What happens if my generator fails a test?

A4: If your generator does not meet performance standards, corrective action is required. This may include repairs, component replacement, or system adjustments. AEFP provides detailed reports and recommendations to restore compliance and readiness.

Q5. Which industries benefit most from generator testing?

A5: All industries that rely on continuous power—such as hospitals, data centers, public safety facilities, schools, industrial plants, and office buildings—benefit from generator testing to ensure uninterrupted operations and life-safety reliability.
