FAQS

There are numerous factors that determine the daily rate for each generator, including its size, wattage, and the complexity of installing it at your location. Once we have an idea of your site and needs, we'll issue a free, no-obligation quote so you can decide whether you'd like to proceed.

It depends on whether you want to run all of your appliances and lighting or a few essential items. An average family home with appliances like fridges, freezers, cooking equipment and TVs should be fine with 5kW to 10kW generators, but larger homes might need more powerful models.

The main difference between single-phase and three-phase generators is how they deliver power. Single-phase generators provide power through one alternating current, making them beneficial for residential usage.

Three-phase generator hire is best for industrial applications, as they deliver power through three alternating currents.

Diesel generators are highly durable and more fuel efficient than petrol models, making them suitable for long-running and heavy-duty applications. They're also less expensive to run and have lower flammability.
