Questions to Ask When Buying a  Generator

You know you need a generator to protect your business from a possible power outage. You also know there are peak times when it seems like every piece of machinery on your job site is working at the same time. Regardless of why you need a generator, there are some questions you need to ask first.

Will You Need It Continuously or as a Backup?

Some job sites are so remote you won’t have a regular source of power available to you. At these times you will be glad to have a source of continual power. Other times you need it as a back-up during a storm or during prime work hours when it seems everyone is running a power tool.

Before you can choose the right generator for your business, you’ll need to know how you’ll use it primarily. Knowing this will help you choose the right size and type to be sure you make the right investment.

Where Will You Need to Use It?

Do you need to be able to move the generator from place to place on each worksite? Or will it be generally stationary and providing power from a set point? Either way, we offer generators that will be the best option for you.

So, whether you need a generator on a skid mount or you can have a place to put your generator permanently, we have both options available. But you need to know where you want to set up your generator so we can get you the best generator for you.

What Type of Fuel do You Want to Use?

There are several types of fuel available for generators made today. The two primary fuel sources for industrial-sized 250kw generators are diesel and natural gas. Both have pros and cons, but you will need to know if you have a preference of one over the other before you make such a large investment at this one.
