AVK STANDBYGENERATORS
UK Leaders in standby diesel generator design, supply, installation & maintenance.
Class leading diesel generator solutions for mission-critical services - Data Centres, Hospitals & Telecommunications
For mission-critical systems and facilities where 100% power is vital for 100% of the time, a backup generator power system essential to the continuous power delivery during times of mains power failure or outages.
Where a UPS system will protect power to your critical system, for a short period dependant on battery autonomy, a standby generator will, when longer outages occur, protect your equipment for much longer periods of time from hours to days or even weeks dependent on fuel storage.

Whether you require standby diesel generator to provide you with power generation during a mains power failure or a prime power diesel generator set to generate your power off grid, our range covers all business requirements from single 5kW generators to multi-module generators providing 3MVA power.
We take pride in each and every critical generator power system and turnkey project solution we deliver - from Data Centres, Banking & Finance and Telecommunications providers, to Hospitals, Airports and Public Transport - anywhere where constant power is required to maintain normal business operations without risk to data, machinery, financial loss or even lives, AVK generator solutions keep the lights on for business.

AVKUPS SYSTEMS
UK Leaders in UPS system design, supply, installation & maintenance.
Highly Efficient, Technologically advanced UPS Systems for Data Centres, Hospitals & Telecommunications.
Mission-critical systems and facilities rely on uninterrupted power - even a small power outage can have disastrous consequences. AVK UPS Systems provide power protection during shorter periods of mains power failure, becoming a critical bridge between your main power source and backup generator system.
Where a standby generator will take over and protect the load for longer durations of time, a UPS system acts as the first line of defence against loss of power because it is able to react instantly to outages whereas generators need several seconds of time to come 'online' leaving a critical power 'gap', which a UPS system effectively bridges.
We take pride in each and every critical UPS system we deliver - from Data Centres, Banking & Finance and Telecommunications providers, no matter what the size of your business, AVK will advise you on the most suitable UPS for your operation. We understand that protection of your critical systems and data is vital to your success.
AVK UPS systems are designed to provide years of low-maintenance protection, keeping your power supply constant - whether it’s running critical processes or safeguarding servers, our UPS range combines the latest in technology and efficiency, resulting in the lowest operating costs in the industry.

AVK CONTROLUPGRADES
Optimise your critical power system for today, tomorrow, and the future.
AVK can help you to maintain ultimate control of your power protection.
Continuous power systems are a crucial and integral part of a building’s infrastructure; whether it’s a bank, data centre or hospital - if you lose your power supply, you can count on your standby generator system to keep your business running smoothly with zero downtime and risk to revenue.
But did you know...?
Most generators amass very few running hours during their lifespan, and with regular maintenance, the engine and main AC alternator can be reliable and supportable for well over twenty years. But, as the control systems that operate your generator/s age, they can fail and become unsupportable as advances in technology move on....
What's the solution?
Control Upgrades. By allowing your existing standby power system to take full advantage of the technological advances in generator controls your system is able to benefit from:
Maximum operating efficiency from the generator
Substantially lower maintenance and repair costs
With decades of experience of upgrading and replacing a large number of control systems, AVK offer retrofit control upgrades and complete technical support from initial survey through to design installation and commissioning of systems.
