:: GENTEK ::Commercial generators
When it comes to buying commercial generators, it is
of utmost importance that the right dealers are researched
and considered. Competent dealers of commercial generators can make a big difference in your overall satisfaction
with your backup power system.
There are a wide variety
commercial generators available, and it is more than
worth your while to research which commercial generators and dealers offer the best package considering, price,
quality, and service.
It is not everyone that is knowledgeable about commercial
generators, and it therefore makes sense to find dealers
you can trust and who can provide you with understandable
answers to complicated questions - look for a dealer
who is knowledgeable and dedicated to generator sales and service and has been for a while.
Large industrial or construction equipment dealers
who happen to sell generators as a side business may
offer a good price - but they won't have the expertise
of a dealer who's more dedicated to selling and servicing
commercial generators.
Because maintenance and service are so important, you'll
most often want a generator dealer in your local area.
Someone who is located in your area is easy to contact
in case you are in need of service, spare parts, or
good advice for using your commercial generator. A more
distant dealership can sometimes connect you with licensed
service technicians who are in your area, which can
be okay, but is generally not the preferred arrangement.
Ask what maintenance services they will provide. At a
minimum, a standby generator requires an annual check-up
of oil levels, air flow, and other factors.
Other questions to ask:
- How many technicians do they have?
- How long have they been in business?
- How many commercial generators similar to yours have
they installed in the last year?
- Which brands do they work with the most?
- How long have they carried the brand you're interested
in?
