What size generator do I need for my business?
Generator sizing depends on your total connected load. Add up the wattage of all equipment that must run during an outage, then add 20–25% headroom for motor starting loads (HVAC compressors, elevators). A small commercial building typically needs 100–300kW; a mid-size industrial facility needs 500–1,000kW; a large data center or hospital needs 1,000kW+. Call (818) 484-8550 — we provide no-cost sizing consultations.
What is the difference between standby and prime power generators?
Standby generators are rated for emergency use only — typically 200 hours per year maximum. They deliver full rated output but are not designed for continuous operation. Prime power generators are rated for continuous or unlimited-hour operation at a slightly lower continuous output. Most commercial backup applications require standby-rated units; off-grid, construction, and oil field applications require prime power ratings.
Are your generators CARB and Tier 4 Final compliant?
Yes — we stock Tier 4 Final and CARB-compliant generators across our inventory. California Air Resources Board (CARB) compliance is required for generators operating on California construction sites and in many air quality management districts. We stock Tier 4 Final units from Caterpillar, Cummins, Kohler, Doosan, Multiquip, and others. Use the Emissions filter to find compliant units, or call (818) 484-8550.
What is the difference between diesel and natural gas generators?
Diesel generators offer higher power density, faster startup, and better performance in extreme temperatures — preferred for standby, construction, and portable applications. Natural gas generators connect to a utility gas line (no fuel storage required), produce lower emissions, and are preferred in California where air quality regulations restrict diesel use. We stock both fuel types across all major brands.
How long does it take to receive a generator after ordering?
Shipping timelines depend on the unit, your location, and freight availability. Contact us at (818) 484-8550 with your specific requirements and we will provide an accurate delivery estimate for your location.
Do you buy used generators?
Yes. Power Generation Enterprises actively purchases used generators, generator sets, and power plants — single units and entire fleets. We buy Caterpillar, Cummins, MTU, Kohler, and all major brands in any condition. Visit our Sell Your Equipment page or call (818) 484-8550 for a same-day quote.
