More than in many other industries, the customers in hotels expect top-notch service at all times. While you can lose your primary power for a variety of reasons, including storms, electrical infrastructure maintenance or failure, system overloading, etc., there’s an easy solution. Install a backup industrial diesel generator that provides ample power for all of your hotel installations. When we’re helping you size a generator for your facility, we consider the following criteria:
- Hotels: We’ll need information on the number of rooms, typical equipment in each rooms (TVs, lights, fridges, heating), electrical equipment in common areas (lights, computers, alarms, elevators), high-consumption installations (heated pools, kitchens, saunas, gyms) and any other electrical equipment you count on to satisfy your customers.
Estimate Your Hotel Generator Size by Property Type
The right hotel generators depend on what your property needs to keep running during an outage. Start by understanding your property size, guest expectations and the systems you want to support. A small roadside property may only need partial backup for guest essentials. A full-service hotel with elevators, event space and commercial kitchens may need a more robust standby power plan.
- Small properties: A smaller hotel may need a hotel backup generator for guest-room essentials, basic hallway lighting, front-desk systems, refrigeration, security equipment, limited HVAC support and life-safety systems. For these properties, the goal is often to keep guests safe, protect basic comfort and maintain enough front-desk functionality to manage the outage.
- Medium properties: A midsize hotel may need to support guest rooms, elevators, kitchen equipment, laundry areas, lobby systems, access controls, conference facilities, life-safety systems and selected HVAC loads. These hotels may need more than basic emergency coverage because guest experience, food service and revenue-generating amenities can all be affected by power interruptions.
- Large properties: A full-service hotel with restaurants, event space, multiple elevators, central HVAC, laundry operations, commercial kitchens and back-of-house systems may require a more robust commercial or industrial setup. For larger hotels, the planning question is often whether the property needs partial backup for critical systems or a more comprehensive standby power plan to support continuous operations during an outage.
A diesel generator for hotel use can be a strong option for properties that need dependable standby power and on-site fuel storage. Diesel may be practical for hotels that want to store fuel on-site rather than relying entirely on an active utility connection. A commercial generator for hotel operations may also use natural gas, depending on utility access, local requirements, available space and the property’s load.
