Generator Logbook for healthcare facilities

When the power goes out, the generator has to work. Prove it did.

Log the monthly generator test on a phone, right at the generator, timed to the second. When the surveyor asks, hand over a clean report. No binder, no stopwatch, no retyping.

About 1 in 6 US nursing homes was cited for generator testing (K918) in 2025.

01Test.

Run and time the monthly, annual and 36-month tests.

02Inspect.

Weekly checks, kept in a record a surveyor can read.

03Operate.

Power on when it counts.

Generator Logbook

Built by an engineer, not an app factory.

Made by an engineer who works inside the standby-power industry, building the technology around generators and transfer switches. It follows the test the way it is really done.

A Compliant generator next to a non-compliant one with 1 FAIL and 1 Warning, showing nameplate kW and the next monthly, weekly, annual fuel and 36-month due dates
A monthly load test record flagged FAIL for an 11.4-second transfer, with a Warning and the load, crank and cooldown summary

Survey day

The surveyor asks for a year of generator tests.

Without it

  • Paper logs, vendor PDFs and a spreadsheet, kept in three places.
  • A missed month you find out about in front of the surveyor.
  • Transfer times written down from a stopwatch, or from memory.
  • The one person who knows where it all is happens to be off that day.

With Generator Logbook

  • Every weekly, monthly, annual and 36-month record in one place.
  • Missed or short tests flagged the day they happen.
  • Crank and transfer timed by TioSec at the generator.
  • One printable report, ready for anyone on staff to hand over.
