Reliable Power Solutions for Commercial Facilities
In the commercial sector, a power failure is more than just an inconvenience—it\'s a threat to business continuity, customer experience, and safety. Our Commercial Generator Repair services are tailored to the specific needs of hotels, hospitals, and office complexes that require silent, clean, and reliable standby power.
We specialize in the repair and maintenance of sound-attenuated generators, focusing on noise reduction, emission control, and seamless integration with building management systems (BMS). Our engineers prioritize rapid response and clean workmanship to minimize disruption to your commercial operations.
Whether you are dealing with an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) failure that prevents the generator from starting, or a mechanical issue requiring urgent attention, PowerProKe Ltd provides the professional technical support your commercial facility depends on.
Our Commercial Repair Services
ATS & Switchgear Repair
Troubleshooting and repairing the Automatic Transfer Switch to ensure seamless power transitions.
Preventive Maintenance
Scheduled servicing to identify and rectify potential issues before they cause a failure.
Electrical System Audit
Testing the alternator, AVR, and control panel to ensure stable and clean power output.
Acoustic Enclosure Repair

Technical Insight: Commercial Power Quality
Commercial buildings house sensitive electronics and IT infrastructure. We focus on precision AVR calibration to ensure your generator provides a stable voltage with minimal harmonic distortion, protecting your building's equipment from damage.
Common Commercial Generator Issues
ATS Failure to Transfer
The generator starts but the building remains in the dark because the ATS fails to switch.
Technical Note: This is often caused by failed contactors or logic controller errors.
Read Troubleshooting GuideBattery Charger Failure
Leading to dead starting batteries and a generator that fails to crank when needed.
Technical Note: We install high-quality intelligent chargers to maintain battery health.
Read Troubleshooting GuideFuel Degradation
Common in generators that run infrequently, leading to clogged filters and rough running.
Technical Note: We recommend fuel stabilization and regular filter changes for standby units.
Read Troubleshooting GuideCoolant Leaks
Small leaks from hoses or heaters that can lead to engine overheating during a long run.
Technical Note: We perform pressure tests on the cooling system to identify hidden leaks.

Preventive Maintenance: The Key to Reliability
| Maintenance Task | Frequency | Technical Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Oil & Filter Service | 250 Hours / 6 Months | Prevents internal engine wear, maintains lubrication film strength, and prevents thermal breakdown of additives. |
| Fuel Polishing & Analysis | Annually | Removes water, microbial growth, and sediment to protect high-pressure Common Rail injectors from erosion. |
| Load Bank Testing | Annually | Forces the engine to reach full operating temperature, burning off unburnt fuel and carbon deposits (wet stacking). |
| Battery & Charger Test | Every 3 Months | Verifies Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) and ensures the trickle charger is maintaining optimal float voltage without overcharging. |
| Coolant Chemistry Check | Every 6 Months | Checks Supplemental Coolant Additive (SCA) levels to prevent liner pitting and radiator corrosion. |
* Note: Maintenance frequencies may increase for generators operating in high-ambient temperatures or dusty environments common in certain regions of Kenya.
