FAQ (rentals)

Q: What information do I need to give you when renting a generator?

A:

  • Kilowatt (kw) size and voltage (if only amps and voltage are known, we can calculate the required kw size)
  • Destination of rental
  • Application of rental
  • Length of time you'll need the rental
  • Estimated run-time in hours per week or month
  • Certificate of insurance listing Kinsley Power Systems as a co-insured
  • For cable rentals, how many feet the unit will be from the electrical connection
  • Payment information
  • How you intend to service the unit/s (Kinsley Power offers service agreements)

Q: Do you have emergency power planning packages available?
A: Yes. KPS has a special emergency planning sheet that helps you prepare for potential emergencies. If we have all the relevant information in our computer (loads, voltages, emergency numbers, credit information, certificates of insurance, etc.) we can expedite a rental in the event of an emergency. One of our rental associates would be happy to discuss preparing such a program with you.

Q: As a customer, what kind of service do I need to do on rental units?
A: Customers are required to maintain the unit while it's on rent. Rental units running prime power should have the oil changed for every 200 hours of run time and the customer should check the oil level daily. KPS can arrange for scheduled service agreements for units on rent.

Q: How long a run time do I have on rental units between fueling?
A: Each KPS rental unit has a different fuel tank capacity. However, the minimum run time is about 18 to 24 hours per genset. Kinsley Power does offer 500-gallon auxiliary fuel tanks for rent to augment run times between fueling.

Q: In the event of an emergency, how long does it take to get a rental generator to my site?
A: Kinsley Power keeps its units ready for emergency dispatch 24/7. They're kept ready with full tanks and are ready for immediate transport. Arranging transportation, setting the appropriate voltages, receiving certificates of insurance and establishing payment are the only steps necessary before delivering a unit. As mentioned before, emergency power planning can expedite this process. We would be happy to discuss setting up such an arrangement with your company.

Q: How quiet are your generators?
A: Kohler Rental Power generators are some of the quietest in the industry. They were designed with the events market in mind, and we've rented units at a number of golf tournaments, outdoor festivals and to broadcast companies. Our units range from 58 dBA to 70 dBA.
