Safety & Quality
We take immense pride in providing event generators that are not only of the highest quality but also prioritize your safety. Each generator in our fleet is meticulously maintained, and in top-notch condition before they reach you. Our units are modern, super silent, and undergo comprehensive servicing and load testing before every season. Furthermore, they are subject to thorough manual and visual inspections prior to delivery. You won't find any outdated generators, we retire them early, supplying only low-mileage hire models. When it comes to safety, our experienced electrician, Paul, understands the importance of proper connections, correct cabling and power outlets to ensure your generator operates safely.
Will the generator be noisy?
Our generators are considered ‘event’ generators so described as silent which really means minimal noise. Our advice is to have the generator around 20 meters away from your wedding or event. If you’re using the generator in a residential neighbourhood, a loud generator is definitely a no-no. Luckily, our generator models are specifically designed to have a low noise output, so this isn’t too much of a problem.
Can you provide the full electrical installation?
Of course, and this is an option we would encourage. With the electrical knowledge within our team, we can ensure that sockets are in the place where you require power and will always ensure you are happy before we leave the site.
How do I know what size generator is needed?
Your first priority when hiring a generator is to figure out how much power you need. Make a checklist of all the appliances that will be powered by the generator and if known, the wattage of each (but we can figure most things out). We would always advise good practice to hire a generator with a higher voltage than what you actually require to ensure that you always have enough power to cover those last-minute or unexpected things.
Will someone show us how to work everything?
We ensure that we spent as much time as required explaining how your generator works, either to you or your event contractors, to ensure you are comfortable before we leave the site.
Is there an extra cost for the time the generator runs for?
We do not have a ‘cap’ on the length of running time. This should be the least of your worries during the event. We do discuss how long the generator may be running, so we can allow for you to have enough fuel.
Is someone available should we have a question during the hire period?
We are a family business, our phones are always on should you have any further questions.
Can the delivery date change?
We always try and be flexible with our deliveries and often liaise with the marquee supplier to coincide with their installation, allowing enough time for our clients to have power on site for dressing their venue. If the celebrations are continuing for longer, we can accommodate a delay in returning to collect our equipment etc
