When the power goes out or your site needs temporary power, you need more than just a generator; you need reliability, experience, and local expertise.
For over 35 years, Generator Hire Sales & Service has been Sydney’s trusted name in generator hire, sales, and maintenance.
Before hiring a generator, here are ten key questions to make sure you’re getting the right power solution for your needs.
1. What size generator do I need?
Sourcing the correct size generator is essential for safety and performance. At Generator Hire, our team calculates your total power requirements to ensure your equipment runs efficiently without overloads or wasted fuel.
2. What type of fuel is best?
Most hire generators are diesel-powered, which provides superior efficiency and reliability — particularly for construction and commercial applications. Generator Hire’s diesel fleet includes trusted brands like Yamar, Perkins, Volvo, Cummins and many more, built tough for Australian conditions.
3. How long will it run on a full tank?
Our generators are fitted with long-range fuel tanks for extended runtime and efficiency. We tailor every hire to your usage duration so you can focus on the job, not refuelling schedules. We also offer an on-site diesel fuel service if required.
4. Is it a silenced model?
Noise restrictions are a major factor across Sydney sites and events. Generator Hire offers silenced diesel generators in sound-attenuating enclosures, ideal for everything from civil works to outdoor events requiring low noise.
5. Is delivery and setup included?
Upon request, we offer delivery, installation, and pickup across Sydney and regional NSW if needed. Our experienced technicians handle setup safely, ensuring correct operation, load connection, and testing before handover. POA.
6. What safety features does the generator include?
All our hire units come fitted with lockable acoustic canopies, automatic shutdown systems, and earth leakage protection. Quality, user-friendly operation and safety are built into every unit we supply; that’s part of our “no shortcuts” promise.
7. Do I need an electrician for the connection?
Depending on your application, a licensed electrician may be required. Generator Hire provides guidance or can coordinate electrical connection through our experienced team, ensuring compliance and peace of mind.
8. What maintenance and support are available?
As a 24/7 operation, we’re always just a phone call away. If your generator needs servicing or you experience a breakdown, our team can dispatch parts, servicing, or even a replacement rental unit within hours to keep you powered up.
9. Are cables and accessories included?
We stock and supply a full range of accessories, including power leads, distribution boards, fuel tanks, and load banks. Everything is maintained and tested to Australian standards for safe operation.
10. What’s included in the hire quote?
We’ll provide a transparent quote upfront, including generator hire fees, transport, and any after-hours delivery charges. Estimates can be provided for fuel; however would be charged at the actual litres used. No hidden costs, just straightforward service from Sydney’s most reliable generator hire team.
