Hospitals have unique power requirements. To determine the correct generator size, an electrician or electrical contractor should assess your facility’s needs. Typically, hospitals use large, industrial-grade generators that can power critical systems during an outage. Use our amperage calculator to estimate your power needs. 

Hospital generators are designed for continuous and reliable operation in critical situations. They are typically built to higher standards, including compliance with healthcare-specific regulations. Unlike standard commercial generators, hospital generators must be capable of powering life-support systems and other essential services without interruption. 

Proper maintenance is essential for ensuring the longevity and performance of your hospital generators. Steps include: 

• Regular oil and coolant checks, with changes as necessary 

• Keeping the generator clean and free from debris 

• Running the generator regularly to prevent corrosion 

• Storing the generator in a dry, protected place when not in use 

• Regularly checking and tightening bolts and connections to avoid electrical issues
