long list of To Do’s. Maybe the job can be tackled piece-meal. Even so, you don’t look forward to the capital expense, rental generators and disruptions to operations. “I Didn’t Realize...” There’s a better way. Don’t replace your emergency power system. Renew it. Modernize it so it gives

you the flexibility, maintainability and control that you require. “I didn’t realize I could do that,” say many facility and engineering customers of ASCO Custom Engi neered Services. After they consider both replacement and renewal, they select renewal.

You have a proven…but aging… emergency power system. It doesn’t have the flexibility you need. It’s a maintenance headache. And you want better operational control and more precise information quickly. Replacing it will cost more money than is available in your budget. It becomes a “next year” item on a

1. Lower Cost 2. Quicker Completion 3. Fewer Disruptions Three Benefits Prove Decisive

Custom engineered upgrades of an emergency power system save about one-half to two-thirds of the cost of replacing an entire generator paralleling system. Projects can be completed in less time because no construction and no long lead items are required. Custom engineered upgrades can possibly eliminate emergency power system downtime and disruption of business opera tions.

• Avoid renting and locating tempo rary generators on site. • Ensure continuous availability of emergency or standby power in most cases. • Meet rigid project time lines and deadlines.

Advantages of Custom engineered upgrades:

• Retain engine-generators, fuel sys tems, radiators and piping, main electrical wiring, gear enclosures, and in most cases, bus and break ers. • Eliminate electrical and mechani cal work, modifications and rig ging required to decommission and remove old gear and install new gear.
