Portable generators provide backup power in the event of residential outages and offer valuable applications for preplanned occasions, such as outdoor weddings and camping trips. They also provide commercial uses, such as powering festivals and construction sites. If you need portable power for an upcoming project or event, here's a look at what you'll enjoy with this convenient appliance.

Why Should You Rent a Generator? 

1. Project Flexibility

Choose the right-sized appliance based on your project needs, such as a large model capable of providing power to an entire construction site or a smaller version ideal for an intimate backyard wedding. Renting gives you the flexibility necessary to accommodate your project instead of worrying about having too little or too much power or dealing with a bulky appliance when a smaller product will suffice. Instead, you’ll enjoy peace of mind knowing you'll have the perfect amount of power, allowing you to focus on other items on the to-do list. 

2. Cost-Effectiveness

Purchasing a generator and paying to maintain it can get expensive fast, especially if you only need it a few times a year. By renting specific models for assorted projects on an as-needed basis, you’ll save money not only on maintenance but also on transportation and storage costs. Simply return the appliance when you're finished instead of spending money on climate-controlled storage or specialized transport involving expensive padding and vehicle rentals. 

3. Preparedness

Rent different models for assorted projects and note each machine’s energy efficiency, portability, adaptability, size, and convenience. Working with appliances of varying sizes and capabilities gives you a clear idea of what you need, which is especially helpful if your most recent project is indicative of upcoming projects with the same power requirements. You’ll avoid making an investment you’ll regret and might score a deal on a used model in excellent condition somewhere down the road.
