Let’s face it: Edmonton has more than a few unique challenges to consider when investing in a workplace generator. Between long, harsh winters that can reach temperatures in the -30s°C to long, sweltering summer days—your generator needs to withstand extreme conditions. Luckily, diesel generators are also one of the most efficient options for all climates, making them popular for businesses throughout the Edmonton region.
Follow along with us at TRIC Power Products as we discuss our top tips and suggestions for choosing the best commercial diesel generator in Edmonton. With over 18 years in the home and industrial generator industry, we’re your local generator experts.
Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a Diesel Generator
When it comes to finding a diesel generator to power your Edmonton business reliably, you may have several questions like:
- How do I determine the correct power capacity for my workplace?
- Can I expand the power capacity later if my energy needs grow?
- How long can a standby generator run continuously?
- How does fuel efficiency differ between brands and models?
- How loud is a typical standby generator?
One of the most important factors to consider when selecting a diesel generator is its power output. The overall power input is measured in kilowatts. If you have a smaller residential business and only need to power basic systems, such as lighting, you may only need a 5kW to 8kW generator. If you have a mid-sized business, 15kW to 20kW might work for powering your larger appliances, HVAC systems, and WiFi routers. Large-scale industrial businesses will likely need even more power—upwards of 50kW. If you’re unsure how much power you’ll need, there are several online calculators to help. But our best recommendation is to contact a certified industrial generator service provider for support in selecting the right generator. They’re able to answer all your questions and more while providing you with personalized advice and assistance.
