Emergency Diesel Generator Systems Design
Emergency power system design specifies the generators, UPS units, and transfer switches that keep a building's critical systems running through a utility outage. FarHeater Engineering designs and commissions these systems for facilities where downtime is not an option.

Power resilience is essential for critical facilities, and our emergency diesel generator designs ensure uninterrupted operations during outages. We provide tailored solutions for standby generators, UPS systems, and automatic transfer switches to meet the unique requirements of each facility. From design to commissioning, we ensure seamless integration and reliable performance, protecting vital equipment and operations when it matters most.
Emergency Diesel Generator Systems Design — frequently asked
- How do I size an emergency generator for my building?
- By identifying which loads must stay energised — life safety, elevators, critical equipment — then calculating their combined demand plus starting inrush. We carry out that analysis as part of the design.
- What is an automatic transfer switch (ATS)?
- An ATS senses the loss of utility power and automatically switches the building's essential loads over to generator supply, then transfers back once utility power is stable.
- Which buildings are required to have emergency power?
- Requirements depend on occupancy and code, but hospitals, long-term care, high-rise residential, and many institutional buildings must maintain power to life safety systems.
