Hiring vs Buying A Generator

Generators are extremely handy pieces of equipment that can help get you through some difficult times, such as a sudden power outage. There’s nothing worse than not being able to use your everyday appliances – there are many reasons why someone would require a power generator from Pleavin Power.

Many families store a generator away for family camping trips, as it allows them to power appliances to get them through the trip with more ease. Generators are convenient, making camping getaways a much easier experience.

Generators can be pricy, and if you’re only using it a handful of times, is it worth the big investment? People might only need a power generator for a certain period of time, so it makes sense to not shed hundreds of pounds in order to outright buy a power generator for just one use. At Pleavin Power, we believe that it’s sensible to hire out a generator for the time frame that it’s needed.

 

Hiring a Generator

Generators require consistent upkeep to make sure that it’s running at their best. If you have a scheduled blackout or need a power source to run your tools on a work site, then then we recommend that you hire a generator for a short period of time. Here are some benefits that come with using a generator hire service.

Here at Pleavin Power, we are one of the UK’s leading power generator companies and we have successfully sold and hired out hundreds of generators to happy clients.

There are an array of different benefits to buying or hiring a generator. To find out more about the pros and cons that come with either buying a power generator or hiring a generator for a period of time, continue reading.

 

No Maintenance Costs

When you purchase a generator, you will be responsible for the upkeep and maintenance – this is crucial if you want your generator to remain in the best condition. Generator maintenance services are important when it comes to getting the full money’s worth out of your generator, but it will cost you money.

If you hire a generator instead of buying one outright, you won’t have to worry about keeping up with maintenance duties and worrying shout whether you’re looking after it properly. You can rest assured that your generator will come in the best condition when you hire from Pleavin Power.

 

One-Off Basis

Many of our customers hire a generator from us because they only need to use it once or twice. Buying a generator when you’re only going to use it a few times seems a big investment – that’s why at Pleavin Power, we supply the best generators for our customers to use and return when they’re finished with them.

While it can be super beneficial to have a generator on hand in case of emergency situations, it will still cost you in maintenance and upkeep.

The easy access that comes with hiring out a generator makes it a much more attractive option compared to purchasing one. Hiring a generator means that you can use it for however long you need it and then return it when you’re finished with no extra costs or upkeep involved.

 

You Can Choose The Ideal Generator

When you decide to hire a generator, you’ll have a wide range of top-quality generators to choose from. You’ll be able to hire your ideal generator based on your current needs and situation, meaning you’ll get the most efficient performance.

If you need to power a whole worksite, then you’re going to need a lot of power to make sure that everything runs efficiently. A standby generator is best suited for times when you need to power a whole worksite – at Pleavin Power, we have many of these models available.

 

Buying a Generator

One of the most sensible options that you can make for your home is buying a power generator. It’s extremely useful to have a generator on hand in case of emergency. If a power outage was to occur, you would have the added security of knowing that you have a generator. These are some great benefits that you can have when buying a generator.

 

Peace Of Mind

Having peace of mind is key. By having a generator safely stored away for when disaster strikes, you can feel secure knowing that you are able to power the necessary appliances for your family.

 

Save You Money

A common scenario during a power outage is that your fridge freezer will stop working. A broken fridge freezer could result in flooding and your food being spoiled – if you live in a household with several people, then you will most likely have hundreds of pounds worth of food inside your fridge.

By having a power generator, you can save yourself a lot of money in the long run through problems such as this, as you’ll always be able to power the appliances needed to keep everything running smoothly.

 

Camping Trips

If you are someone that enjoys frequent camping trips, then it makes sense for you to purchase a generator. By having a generator to hand, you’ll be able to charge your phone and provide cold drinks to name a few. Avid campers say how much more beneficial their trips are when they bring a generator.
