Budget for Purchasing Backup Diesel Generator Sets

With the changes in supply and demand, as well as the continuous rise in prices of various raw materials, the current quotation for diesel generator sets is also constantly changing. How can enterprises purchase backup diesel generators within their budget to meet daily normal power supply? This article by Dingbo Electric will answer your questions.

In fact, the cost of a backup diesel generator set cannot be treated from a single perspective. The cost of a backup diesel generator set generally includes the cost of the entire machine quotation, as well as the cost of installation, fuel, maintenance, and repair. Although the initial cost may seem quite difficult to bear, diesel generator sets are crucial for the smooth and uninterrupted operation of enterprises. If your business may face significant losses due to frequent or prolonged power outages, the cost of purchasing diesel generators becomes less important. Ensuring normal production and maintaining stable cooperative relationships are crucial.

Normally, the cost of a backup diesel generator set varies depending on the following aspects:

Generator manufacturer

Generator model

Generator power

Engine brand and quality

Generator status: New/Used/Refurbished

Due to the many factors involved in price, it is best to conduct as much research as possible before determining the actual generator to be purchased. If you are willing to compromise on the brand, model, or condition of the generator, you can easily save thousands of yuan in costs without affecting its functionality. However, please note that no matter how much you may save, you should not compromise on the power of the generator or the quality of the engine, as these are the foundation of generator efficiency and service life.

Choose the ideal power for diesel generators

In an ideal world, we all hope that our generators will power all of our appliances, equipment, and machinery. Unfortunately, this may not be possible, especially when you want to purchase generators on a budget. Therefore, it is recommended that you calculate the maximum power requirements for all devices and machines that your business heavily relies on. For this, you must know the wattage required to start these devices, as this power is usually much higher than the wattage required to simply keep the machine running. In the near future, it is also necessary to ensure that the increase in power load caused by additional machines is taken into account. Once you know the approximate number of your power requirements, you can let your distributors know the same and they will help you choose the best power diesel generator. As you may have guessed now, the smaller the power of the generator, the more affordable its price is!

Purchase a brand new generator

As mentioned earlier, a good way to reduce the cost of a generator is to purchase a second-hand or refurbished generator. However, if you really choose this, it means that the service life of your generator is relatively short and the quality cannot be guaranteed. Perhaps, choosing a second-hand or refurbished generator will result in much higher maintenance and repair costs than purchasing a brand new generator. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a brand new generator as much as possible in order to ensure the quality of the generator to the greatest extent possible. Brand new generators are usually of better quality and have better and more stable power supply capabilities to ensure that your equipment will not be damaged due to unstable electricity. At the same time, it is especially important to purchase generators from reliable suppliers! For example, Dingbo Power is a trusted supplier for providing high-quality diesel generators and excellent services. From sales supply and installation to generator maintenance, Dingbo Power provides a wide range of effective power solutions to ensure the good operation of your equipment.

In addition, how to ensure that the maintenance cost of backup diesel generators is reasonable?

Here are some tips on diesel generator maintenance that can save you from any expensive repairs or parts replacements:

Turn on the generator once a week and run it at full load for about 25-30 minutes as a way to maintain it. This will allow the oil to circulate evenly through the engine, thereby strengthening the engine.

Monitor the oil and coolant levels of the generator on a monthly basis.

Have qualified technicians inspect the generator at least once or ideally twice a year.

Place the generator in a cool, dry, spacious, preferably covered and well ventilated area.
