• 2. Fuel efficiency

• Thanks to technological innovation and modern progress, today's generators consume much less fuel than they did five years ago. The fact that the latest devices can run longer and more economically has been a big driver behind market growth. However, not all generators are created equal, and fuel can be expensive. Therefore, it is advisable to ask two or three manufacturers for fuel consumption forecasts before preparing to buy. Modularity also helps fuel efficiency. For example, using demand patterns for typical industrial applications as a guide, deploying a 1 MVA generator as the main power source could mean consuming up to 1677 litres of fuel per day. By comparison, three 325 kVA generators doing the same job would require about 1,558 litres of fuel. In this case, the estimated fuel savings of $35,000 per year is a compelling case, not to mention a reduction of 85 tonnes of CO2 over the course of a year.

3.Price

Like many other goods sold online, the price of the generator varies from seller to seller. Diesel generators come in different prices. We are always careful to choose what we can afford. At the same time, it is best to ensure that quality is not sacrificed for low prices. Buying cheap, low-quality generators can end up being very expensive. You need to strike a balance between what you need and what you can afford. To make an informed decision, seek professional advice.

4.Noise factor

Another key factor in buying a diesel generator is the amount of noise. Whether the generator is located in a residential or commercial area, or in a home, the noise of a generator is a particular concern because diesel generators can produce a lot of noise when operating. However, different generators produce different noise levels. Silent diesel generators are very quiet, and while they may be a bit expensive, they will ensure relatively quiet functionality.

5.Stationary or portable

Another factor to consider when purchasing a generator is whether you want a portable or stationary generator. If you need it for a small business or home, a portable one would be most appropriate. However, if it is a large company or organization, stationary generators will be most suitable. Fixed also applies to hospitals. Stationary computers are usually larger in size and have more power output. In addition, it has low maintenance cost and long service life.

6.warranty

The last thing to consider when buying a diesel generator is the warranty on the generator. One headache many customers face is that they don't consider wear and tear and maintenance. Parts and accessories needed for diesel generator sets can be expensive if they are not covered by warranty. If you are covered under warranty, you may be able to get these parts at a discount or even for free, and it is also important to know your diesel generator manufacturer. You will most likely require regular service from the manufacturer, which will also be covered by your warranty. When you factor in travel costs, labor costs, and parts costs, out-of-warranty services can be considered very expensive. If you decide to ship the diesel generator to your manufacturer, it will also be very expensive.
