Our Installation and Commissioning Process

Bestcare Handyman follows a structured process for Generator Installation and Commissioning Service in Kenya to ensure quality and safety:

  1. Site Assessment: Our technicians visit your premises to evaluate power needs, space availability, and ventilation requirements. We assess load capacity to recommend the right generator size, typically 5kVA to 100kVA.
  2. Generator Selection and Supply: We help select a generator from trusted brands like Perkins, Cummins, or Honda, ensuring compatibility with your power demands and budget.
  3. Installation: We install the generator on a stable, vibration-resistant base, connect fuel lines, and wire the electrical system, including an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) for seamless power switching.
  4. Commissioning and Testing: The generator undergoes load testing to verify performance under various conditions. We check fuel efficiency, voltage stability, and noise levels, ensuring compliance with EPRA standards.
  5. User Training and Handover: We provide training on generator operation, maintenance, and safety, along with a compliance certificate and maintenance schedule.

This process, completed within 2–5 days, ensures our Generator Installation and Commissioning Service in Kenya delivers reliable power solutions.
