Sizing a Generator

by Michael Kelly

Finding the right size generator to rent for your home, special event or construction project is easier than you think.  Renting the correct size generator for your special event or construciton jobsite, allows you to save on fuel costs and potential rental rates.

1. Make a list of all the items that'll be powered by the generator

2. Add up the watts or amps of all the items

3. Make note of starting and running watts/amps of items

4. Compare to watts/amps available on the generator you wish to rent.

By figuring out the correct generator, you can avoid unexpected system failures, asset damages, and shutdowns due to capactiy overloads. Some other positives of sizing a generator are increased longevity, fuel cost savings and increased system life span.  You can also always call Puget Sound Equipment Sales for your next generator rental in Everett, Seattle or anywhere in Western Washington and we can help you figure out the correct size generator for your special event or construction jobsite!
