When it comes to ensuring an uninterrupted power supply, investing in a generator and generator maintenance services is often a prudent choice. However, navigating the myriad of options available can be overwhelming. To simplify this process, here are five crucial factors to consider when purchasing a generator.

1. Power requirements

Understanding your power needs is paramount. Determine whether the generator will run the entire building or just critical equipment during outages. Calculating peak demand with the help of experts ensures you select a generator that meets your minimum and maximum electricity requirements.

2. Fuel type

Choose between diesel, natural gas, or propane based on factors such as cost, availability, and convenience. While diesel generators offer advantages like on-site fuel availability, natural gas or propane may be preferable for homes and businesses depending on accessibility and facility requirements.

3. Maintenance

Proper generator maintenance services are essential for generator reliability. It's important to choose a reputable service provider for regular upkeep to avoid unexpected failures during power outages. Neglecting maintenance can lead to costly repairs and downtime, underscoring the importance of proactive servicing.

4. Location

Consider where the generator will be installed, this can be either indoors or outdoors. Sufficient space, ventilation, and proximity to fuel supply and electrical systems are vital. Accessibility for maintenance and repairs should also be factored in when determining the location.

5. Warranty duration

Evaluate the warranty duration and coverage offered by different manufacturers. Standard warranties typically range from one to five years, with options for upgrades. Understanding warranty terms ensures peace of mind and helps plan for potential maintenance costs.

Prioritizing the above factors ensures you select a generator that aligns with your specific needs and operational requirements. By carefully evaluating power requirements, fuel options, installation considerations, warranty terms, and generator maintenance services or plans, you can make an informed decision that guarantees uninterrupted power supply when it matters most.

Facts you should know before purchasing a Standby Generator

 

Why should you purchase a Diesel Engine?

 

For back-up power systems diesel generators are the ultimate choice.  Diesel engines run at lower RPM’s and offer up to three times or more fuel economy over other types of engines.  Diesel engines have long operational life and the ability to handle heavier work loads then their LP and Gasoline counterparts.  Diesel engines use much less fuel than gas or propane.

 

 

WHY DIESEL?

 

1.     Diesel fuel is much more fuel efficient than gas. 

a.     It burns less than half the fuel of gasoline to meet the same power demand.  Unlike gas engines diesels have no spark plugs to replace or carburetors to rebuild or have serviced.

2.     Diesel IS cheaper than gasoline. 

a.     Though gasoline may be cheaper at the pump in the long run(life of your generator)  the fuel efficiency of diesel will put more money in your pocket than gasoline.

3.     Diesel engines regularly outlast gasoline engines. 

You will get efficient and thoughtful service from dingbo.

a.     Ask anyone who drives or operates machinery run with a diesel engine and they will convince you of the long lasting benefits of diesel.

4.     Diesels are simpler to design and construct making them easier to service.

a.     All of our engines are capable of being services my qualified diesel techs.  We stock and have access to every part for your generator.

5.     The diesel generator set is designed to run continuously allowing you to run the engine for thousands of hours before an overhaul is required.*

6.     Diesel exhaust is less toxic than gasoline exhaust.

a.     A well tuned diesel will produce no visible exhaust except briefly during changes in power loads.

 

 

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

 

Q: Why is diesel the fuel of choice among most large users such as hospitals, police and fire departments?

A: Diesel fuel is much more economical and safer than any other fuel available

 

Q: Liquid propane lasts “forever”  Isn’t that better than diesel?

A: NO! Diesel fuel has a very long life. In our experience, 1 year is not out of the ordinary and when treated with diesel fuel treatment up to two years is not unusual.  We know from real-life experience that we can return to a diesel engine that has not been run in a year, change the batteries, maybe a fuel filter and RUN THAT ENGINE with no adverse effects.

 

Although it is true that liquid propane has a very long shelf life when you have to have the quivalent amount, in relation to the amount you would need for diesel fuel, do you REALLY want that mch of a volatile product sitting on the shelf?  Remember that you need 2.36 gallons of LP gas to equal one gallon of diesel fuel.  Over twice the amount of disel fuel. ( Please note that 1 gallon of LP gas equals 4.23 pounds at 60 degrees Fahrenheit.)

 

Q:  But I can just hook up NG and LP to our neighborhoods service right? 

A:  Not if you want to use it for standby power.  When the tornado hits the main service or the Hurricane water contaminates the pipe lines.
