Keep the Generator, Upgrade the Brains
At Barbour Consulting, we see it time and again. A client has an older generator that runs perfectly well, built in an era when engineering was often more robust. But when it comes to the controls, things start to feel outdated.
The obvious solution might seem to be a complete replacement, but that can be a costly and unnecessary step. If the engine and alternator are still in good condition, why throw away a solid machine? Instead, we help businesses unlock far more value by upgrading the generator’s control systems.
By installing the latest Deep Sea Electronics (DSE) controllers, we give your existing generator a new lease of life. These modern systems bring:
-
Ease of use – clear, intuitive displays that make operation straightforward.
-
Better functionality – advanced features not available on older panels.
-
Smarter monitoring – on-screen data plus remote access via Ethernet.
-
Improved reliability – proactive warnings and diagnostics that help prevent downtime.
The result? You get the reassurance of a modern control platform without the expense of replacing your generator.
For many of our clients, this approach strikes the right balance between performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. It’s about keeping what works while enhancing what matters most.
If you’d like to know whether your generator could benefit from a controls upgrade, talk to our team. We’ll guide you through the options and help you get the best from your equipment.
