Before making a decision, please consider the following, especially when comparing quotations:
• Are all the quotations for the same capacity generator?
• Please look closely at the Prime and Standby capacities indicated. Overloading the generator may cause damage to itself, the installation and equipment it is supplying electricity to.
• Do all the generators have the same components i.e. sound canopies,
governors, AMF's, etc?
• Are the governors mechanical or electronic?
• Do all the quotes include the same capacity fuel tank?
• Is delivery to your premises included or excluded?
• Are installation and rigging included or excluded?
• Is the electrical connection included or excluded?
• Will any building or alteration works be required and has this been included in the price?
• How sure are you that the capacity specified is correct? Has a load assessment been done? Did the supplier visit your premises to acquaint himself with your specific requirements?
• What service do you expect to receive from the supplier? Which suppliers offer a maintenance contract?
• How do the warranties compare?
