Thirteen services. One contractor, start to finish.

Everything from sizing the set to overhauling it eight years later. If it involves a generating set on a Nigerian site, it is on this page.

Summary of our services

What we are called out for.

Generator sales

Diesel generating sets with in built capacities from 13kVA to 5000kVA. Basic key start models, load sharing, dual systems and soundproofed units, with state of the art control panels assembled in house. Our sets are built to full tropical specification, so they hold up in Nigerian heat and humidity.

Installation

Siting and base work, cabling, exhaust routing, fuel lines and changeover. We handle new installations and relocations, and we do the work with the people who will later maintain the machine.

Commissioning and warranty

Testing and commissioning to verify that the set performs to the manufacturer's specification under real load, followed by warranty registration and handover documentation.

Preventive maintenance

Scheduled servicing on a written agreement. Filters and fluids, load testing, control checks and a report after every visit. This is what keeps a set out of the overhaul queue.

Repairs and overhauling

Diagnosis, repair and restoration across all generator brands, including full engine and alternator overhaul. We maintain and overhaul 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Technical support

Troubleshooting and technical guidance on power systems, on site or over the phone, drawn from years of practical work on varied and complex installations.

Site inspection and consultancy

We come out, measure the connected load, look at the site and come back with a written recommendation. No obligation to buy the set from us.

Product sales and delivery

Supply and delivery across the federation and beyond it, with our own haulage for larger sets and plant.

After sales service

Responsive service, technical guidance, maintenance and warranty assistance after the invoice is settled. This is the part most suppliers quietly drop.

Genuine spare parts

Authentic filters, gaskets, injectors, pistons, liners and bearings for the brands we carry. Genuine parts only, because a cheap filter is the most expensive thing on a 500kVA set.

Generator rental

Temporary sets for projects, shutdowns, events and emergencies, including standby mobiles for breakdown cover while your own machine is off site.

Fabrication services

Custom diesel tanks, water tanks for all purposes and steel structures, fabricated to the dimensions the site actually allows.

Soundproof canopy manufacturing

Sound attenuated, weatherproof enclosures assembled locally. Customers rate the local build, and we are pushing quality further while cutting production time by 45 percent.

Service agreements and contract operations are arranged around these, usually on an annual basis.

Questions we get

Straight answers, before you call.

What size generators does Breath Communications Ltd supply?

We supply diesel generating sets with in built capacities from 13kVA to 5000kVA. The range covers basic key start models, load sharing sets, dual systems and soundproofed units, and we assemble the control panels in house.

Which generator brands do you service?

We hold parts, manuals and field experience on Perkins, SDMO, CAT Mantrac, Cummins, MTU, Volvo and Deutz. We maintain and overhaul other brands as well, so ask if yours is not on that list.

Do you handle emergency generator breakdowns?

Yes. We maintain and overhaul generating sets 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and keep standby mobiles ready for emergency call out on technical faults.

Do you deliver outside Lagos?

Our service and products cut across the federation and beyond it. We also run an office in Abuja, which handles sales and service for the capital.

Are your generators suitable for Nigerian conditions?

Our sets are manufactured to fully tropical specification for Nigerian heat and humidity. Standard safety devices trip the generator on faults such as low oil pressure or high engine temperature, before the fault turns into damage.

Do you build soundproof canopies locally?

Yes. We assemble sound attenuated, weatherproof enclosures locally, and customers have consistently rated the quality of the locally made units. We are currently working to raise that quality further while cutting production time by 45 percent.

Do you offer generator service agreements?

Yes. Preventive maintenance runs on a written service agreement with scheduled visits, filters and fluids, load testing and a report after each visit. Most clients run these annually.
