Hayward Temp Power Rentals
Temp services, diesel generators and site security for Hayward's industrial corridor, downtown infill and hillside homes.
Hayward jobs, from the flats to the hills
Hayward has a big industrial district spread across the flat land west of I-880 toward the bay. Most of our work there is warehouse and distribution buildings, food plants and tenant improvements inside existing shells. On those jobs the trades may run off a temporary three-phase feed for weeks while the permanent switchgear waits on the utility.
Closer to downtown and along Mission Boulevard the work is mixed-use and apartments on small lots. Up in the hills toward Cal State East Bay, a custom home or a rebuild may sit on a slope with a long driveway, which changes where a pole can go and how far the cable has to run. On those lots we sometimes set the pole at the street and trench up.
The Hayward fault runs through the middle of the city, and some sites near it carry extra geotechnical review. That does not change a temporary service much, but it can stretch a project schedule and push the date the trades need power. We get the city permit moving early and plan on two to four weeks to a live PG&E meter.

Good fits for Hayward projects
A diesel unit while the switchgear waits
On a warehouse TI the permanent service can lag the schedule by months. A 100 to 150kW towable diesel with cable and a distribution panel keeps the trades working, and our towable diesel units for industrial TIs come with scheduled fuel delivery.
Cameras along the industrial edge
Large open lots near the shoreline are hard to fence well, and copper and tools go missing overnight. A camera trailer with motion alerts and timelapse covers the yard and the gate through our monitored camera trailers in Hayward.
Light for a hillside lot
Short winter days end early on a slope with no street lights. A compact solar tower lights the driveway and the pad without a generator running, using our solar light towers for steep residential lots.
Hayward permit and site notes
Inside city limits, Hayward’s building division reviews and issues the temp power permit, and we book the inspection as soon as the panel is wired. Some unincorporated pockets with Hayward mailing addresses, such as Fairview, fall under Alameda County instead, so we look up the parcel to see which agency has it before anything is filed.
Larger generators can need a Bay Area Air Quality Management District permit. For any long Hayward rental over 100kW, we look into whether BAAQMD rules cover that unit while the quote is still being written.
Price ranges we quote in Hayward
For a single-phase pole, Hayward jobs most often come in between $1,800 and $4,500. Industrial three-phase at 400A runs from about $6,000 to $14,000, sometimes more. A 100 to 150kW generator typically rents for $1,500 to $3,000 a week, with diesel billed on top.

Hayward questions from superintendents
Can a generator run a warehouse job for months?
Yes, with scheduled fuel deliveries and service. For a long rental we size the unit to the real load so it is not burning fuel at light load all day.
How do I know if my Hayward address is in the city?
Send us the address or parcel number and we will check. A few areas with Hayward addresses are unincorporated county land.
Do you remove the pole at the end?
Yes. When the new service passes and is energized, we ask PG&E to cut the temp drop, then pull the pole, panel and ground rods.
