Commercial Standby Generators for Melbourne and Yarra Valley Businesses
Automatic standby power for businesses that cannot afford to stop: offices, clinics, retail, hospitality, cool rooms, nurseries and farms across Melbourne and the Yarra Valley. Jake sizes the generator to your load, wires it into your single-phase or three-phase switchboard through an automatic transfer switch, and keeps it serviced so it starts the moment the grid fails.

Keep Your Business Running No Matter What
Keep trading through an outage
A standby generator with an automatic transfer switch picks up your essential circuits within seconds of the grid dropping out, so tills, phones, servers and cool rooms keep running while the street is dark.
Sized for three-phase and heavy loads
Commercial premises run three-phase motors, compressors, cool rooms and kitchen equipment that a domestic unit cannot carry. Jake measures your actual load and sizes a single-phase or three-phase standby generator to match it, with the changeover wired so the essential circuits come back first.
Lights, alarms and access control stay on
Emergency lighting, alarms, CCTV and door access keep working through a blackout, which keeps staff safe and stock and equipment protected.

Automatic & Manual Generator Changeover Switches
An automatic transfer switch detects the outage and brings the generator online without anyone on site touching a thing. For smaller sites a manual changeover switch and generator inlet lets your staff switch over safely when the mains fail. Either way the installation isolates your premises from the grid before the generator connects, which is what keeps line workers and your equipment safe.
Servicing contracts
A standby generator that has sat idle for months is the one that fails on the night. JPG Tech offers scheduled servicing and load testing on a plan that suits your site, so the unit is ready when you need it and the service history is there for your insurer.
Generator Hire
Need power for a fit-out, an event, a planned shutdown or while a permanent unit is on order? Trailer diesel and semi-permanent units are available for hire, delivered and connected by a licensed electrician.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you size a standby generator for a business?
Jake starts with a site visit to measure your actual load: what has to stay on during an outage (cool rooms, servers, tills, lighting, pumps), what can wait, and whether the supply is single-phase or three-phase. The generator and transfer switch are then sized to that essential load with headroom for motor starting, rather than to the whole building.
How often should my generator be serviced?
Every six to twelve months for a standby unit, plus a regular test run under load. Units that run for long stretches in storm season need servicing sooner. A servicing contract with JPG Tech sets the schedule so nobody has to remember.
Can JPG Tech handle installation and ongoing maintenance?
Yes. Jake handles the site assessment, the switchboard and transfer switch work, the generator installation and the compliance paperwork, then keeps servicing the unit under a maintenance agreement.
What happens if my generator fails during an emergency?
We offer prompt emergency support to repair and restore your generator’s functionality as quickly as possible.
Is generator hire available for long-term projects?
Yes. Hire terms run from a few days to several months, for construction sites, events, planned shutdowns and businesses waiting on a permanent installation.
