What types of generators are available for rent?

At LaPlante HVAC & Generators in Portland, ME, we offer a diverse selection of generators available for rent to meet a wide range of power needs.

How do I choose the right generator for my needs?

Choosing the right generator for your needs involves several key considerations to ensure you get a reliable and efficient power solution. First, assess your power requirements by listing all the devices and systems you need to run and their respective wattages. This will help you determine the total power output needed. Remember to account for both running and starting wattages, as some equipment, like refrigerators and air conditioners, require more power to start than to run.

Next, consider the duration and frequency of use. For short-term or occasional use, a portable generator may suffice. These are easy to transport and set up, making them ideal for temporary power needs like outdoor events or emergency home backup. For longer-term or continuous use, especially in critical applications such as home standby or business operations, a standby generator would be more appropriate. These units provide automatic power during outages and are designed for more consistent usage.

Also, think about the environment where the generator will be used. For outdoor or rugged environments, a durable, weather-resistant generator is essential. If noise is a concern, look for models with noise-reduction features.

At LaPlante HVAC & Generators, our team can assist you in evaluating your needs, offering expert advice and recommendations to ensure you select the right generator. We also provide delivery, setup, and maintenance services to support your rental experience.

 What are the maintenance requirements during the rental period?

During the rental period, maintaining your generator is crucial to ensure its efficient and reliable operation. Regular maintenance tasks include checking the oil level and changing it if necessary, typically after every 50 to 100 hours of use, depending on the generator model. Additionally, inspect the air filter and clean or replace it to prevent dust and debris from clogging the engine.

Fuel management is another important aspect. Ensure the generator is fueled appropriately, using fresh, clean fuel, and check for any fuel leaks. For diesel generators, monitor the coolant levels and top up as needed. Regularly inspect the battery and charging system to ensure they are functioning correctly, as a well-maintained battery is vital for a reliable start.

Monitor the generator for any unusual noises or vibrations, which could indicate potential issues. Keep the generator clean and free from dirt and moisture to prevent any operational problems. If your rental period extends beyond a few weeks, a more thorough inspection by a qualified technician may be required.

At LaPlante HVAC & Generators, we provide detailed maintenance instructions and support to ensure your generator remains in optimal condition. Our team is available to perform maintenance services if needed, ensuring you have a hassle-free rental experience and uninterrupted power supply.
