Which generator do I need?

  • Add up the running watts of everything you will run at once. The tool label lists it as watts or as volts times amps.
  • Allow for starting surge. Motors, compressors and saws can draw two to three times their running load for a moment. Pick a generator with headroom.
  • Check the voltage. Larger tools need 240 V. The 7,500 W, 7,300 W and 14,000 W units provide both 120 and 240 V.
  • Inverter or conventional: inverter models are quieter and give clean power for electronics. Conventional models are better for heavy tools.
  • Run time: a larger fuel tank runs longer between fill-ups. The 6,000 and 7,500 W units have 7.3 gal tanks.

Generator safety in NYC

Run generators outdoors in open air, well away from windows, doors and air intakes. Exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is deadly, so never run one in a garage, basement or enclosed space. Keep fuel away from the hot engine and refuel only when it is off and cool.

Generator rental FAQs

What size generator do I need for a job site?

Add up the running watts of the tools you use at the same time and add 25% for headroom and starting surge. Call us with your tool list and we will size it.

Can I run a generator indoors?

No. Run it outdoors with plenty of ventilation. Carbon monoxide from the exhaust can kill within minutes in an enclosed space.

What is an inverter generator?

An inverter generator produces clean, stable power and runs quieter. It suits electronics, lights and lighter tools.

How long does it run on one tank?

It depends on the load. The 6,000 and 7,500 W units have 7.3 gal tanks. Ask us for the run time at your load.

Do you deliver generators?

Yes, to all five NYC boroughs.
