Generator Rental FAQs
When is it better to rent an industrial generator instead of buying?
Hudson Engineering suggests renting an industrial generator when power needs are short-term or seasonal—such as for construction projects, corporate events, or temporary facilities—during planned maintenance shutdowns, or as an emergency backup during unexpected outages. Renting is also a smart option while waiting for delivery or installation of a new permanent generator.
What sizes of commercial generators can I rent from Hudson Engineering?
Hudson Engineering offers a wide rental range to match different power needs—from compact 5 kVA units for small businesses or events to heavy-duty 1250 kVA industrial generators for large-scale operations. Our team helps you select the right size to ensure optimal performance and cost efficiency.
What rental durations does Hudson Engineering offer for commercial generators?
Hudson Engineering provides flexible rental terms to suit your needs—whether it’s a single day for an event, a week for a project, or a month (or more) for ongoing operations. Longer rental periods come with cost-effective rates, ensuring reliable power without breaking the budget.
Does Hudson Engineering include delivery and setup with industrial generator rentals?
Yes — when you rent a generator from Hudson Engineering, we handle everything from safe delivery to precise placement and professional setup. Our team ensures your generator is correctly connected, tested, and ready to deliver reliable power from the moment it’s switched on.
What factors affect the cost of renting a commercial generator?
At Hudson Engineering, rental costs depend on the generator’s capacity (measured in kVA), the rental duration, fuel type, delivery and setup needs, and any additional equipment such as cables or distribution panels. Services like on-site fueling or remote monitoring can also influence the final price.

How often should a commercial standby generator be serviced?

In addition, routine weekly or monthly checks help detect minor issues before they turn into costly repairs.

How often should oil be changed in a diesel industrial generator?
For optimal performance, Hudson Engineering recommends changing the oil in diesel industrial generators every 250–500 operating hours or once a year—whichever comes first.
