Items to Consider When Working with a Generator Dealer
When looking to purchase, rent, or install a new, used, or rental backup generator for your business operations, industrial applications, or facilities, the first step you might take is to look for a generator dealer that services your region. While there might be many search results for generator dealers, it’s important to find a reputable generator dealer that best fits you and your company.
Find a Dealer You Can Trust
A reputable dealer will be able to provide consultation to assess your power needs and requirements, provide recommendations, including generator options, and walk you through the purchasing, transportation, installation, and post installation process from start to finish. There are many outlets with fake seller platforms that attempt to scam customers who are looking to purchase a generator.
Reputable dealers are able to verify key information about their generators, including hours, condition, provide photos, what the generator was mainly used for, and serial numbers to help verify the generator’s authenticity.
Generator dealers can also help find a generator that fits your needs, as well as your budget. Some more established dealers will even offer financing options.
Many reputable dealers also make sure to keep their active inventory up to date via their website. This is an important factor to consider, since dealers with constantly rotating inventory is a good indicator that they are constantly active in the buying and selling process.
Also, when visiting their website, be sure to take time to browse their content and check if they provide services beyond selling generators. Some generator dealers may only deal with the buying, selling, or rental processes, but may not provide site survey and installation services. This may require you to find a separate generator service company that handles installation, as well as routine service & maintenance.
If you have questions, always be sure to contact the dealer to have them answer your questions and put your mind at ease. Generator dealers usually welcome calls and inquiries, as well as enjoy providing consultation and provide generator recommendations to help you find a generator that fits your needs. Reputable generator dealers possess vast amounts of in-depth knowledge in regards to generators and are usually more than willing to share.
Key Items to Review with Generator Dealers
When buying a used generator, be sure to check the age of the generator, the number of hours on the generator, primary use of the generator prior to being sold to the dealer, service & maintenance history, any/all records associated with the generator, brand manufacturer, generator photos, and warranty (if any).
Reputable generator dealers, especially those who specialize in the used generator market pay extra special attention to inventory that they are buying and selling to ensure that they can provide reliable quality generators to their customers.
Dealer Services
Most generator dealers not only specialize in buying, selling, and renting generators, but they also specialize in generator related services, such as site surveys, required power calculations, generator foundations, electrical connection & wiring, generator transportation, installation processes, post-installation services, and routine service & maintenance. When buying a new or used generator, see if the dealer can provide/offer these services to help simplify the overall generator acquisition process.
Conclusion
While there are many items to consider when choosing a generator dealer to team up with, these are some of the most important factors to review. When choosing a generator dealer, you’re not simply buying a generator, but you’re also building a short-term (or even long-term) business relationship. Be vigilant, keep these items in mind, and look for a dealer that fits for you.
