Is your business or commercial facility protected from Michigan's extreme weather? Loss of power equals loss of productivity and money - make sure you have a comprehensive emergency power system in place to keep your lights, cameras, and equipment running without any hiccups.

For over 3 decades, Michigan businesses and commercial property owners have depended on Tri Star Electrical for complete standby emergency power solutions. Our commercial electricians are certified and expertly trained to install Generac and Honeywell generators, Michigan's leading brand for commercial standby power. We offer professional installation for standby generators, plus seasonal maintenance to extend the life and performance of your equipment.

An automatic standby generator is the best solution for reliable and instant backup power for your entire commercial property. Powered by your LP or natural gas supply, the system is designed to be hands-free and stress-free, springing into action with no intervention needed. Within seconds of a utility power outage, your emergency standby generator will start up automatically – restoring power to your entire commercial property.

An automatic standby generator functions with an automatic transfer switch (ATS) - both of which are installed by our licensed electricians. The generator constantly monitors the incoming power from your utility provider, and when an outage is detected, the generator automatically starts up. A few seconds later, the ATS will transfer over to the generator and lock out the utility. Your generator will continue to run as long as needed to keep your lights and equipment on without a glitch. Once grid power is restored, the ATS automatically switches back to your utility and the generator will shut down.

Having an automatic standby generator installed on your commercial property provides a wide range of benefits:

Portable Generator Interlock Systems

A Portable Generator Interlock system allows you to safely energize your commercial breaker panel when it's time to fire up your portable generator. During the event of a power outage, your main circuit breaker is cut off while the panel is fed by a portable generator. You simply select the priority circuits and turn those breakers on.

With the interlock system, we install an inlet box (usually on the wall adjacent to the panel) for you to plug your generator into. There is an option to include an optional utility power-back alert for portable generator interlocks, which, when power is restored, will give an audible signal that lets you know you can transfer power back to your regular utility source. The system is extremely easy to use, and we will show you how to fully operate it during the installation.
