Still showing the fault?

Codes tell you what the controller sees, not always what is wrong. If the fault persists after the checks above, send us the code and the make — an engineer will tell you what it usually means on that machine before anyone is dispatched.

Maintenance Hub — Preventive Maintenance Plans for Generators, Solar & Power Equipment

The Maintenance Hub builds preventive maintenance schedules for generators, solar plants, UPS systems, pumps and HVAC — service intervals, checklists and cost planning that extend equipment life from 15,000 to 25,000+ hours.

What it does

Interval planning: daily checks, 250 h oil service, 500 h full service, 2000–3000 h overhaul
Printable service checklists and log templates per equipment type
Annual maintenance contract (AMC) scoping with transparent Kenya pricing
Fleet dashboards for multi-site operators (hospitals, telecom, retail chains)

Coverage

AMC coverage across Kenya and East Africa with stationed technicians, genuine parts stock and 24/7 emergency response for contract clients.

Frequently asked questions

How often should a standby generator be serviced?: Oil and filters every 250 running hours or 6 months (whichever first), full service at 500 hours or annually, plus weekly no-load checks and monthly on-load tests.
What does an AMC cost in Kenya?: Typical generator AMCs run KSh 60k–250k/year depending on size, site count and response tier — usually 3–5% of replacement value, versus the far higher cost of an unplanned failure.
Do you maintain solar systems too?: Yes — panel cleaning regimes, string testing, inverter service and battery health monitoring, standalone or bundled with generator AMCs.
