Here is a list of just some of the advantages of choosing a diesel generator for your business.

As mentioned on the previous page, because of the higher compression ratio of air and fuel in a diesel engine, they must be heavier and more robust. This means that a diesel generator is more expensive to build, which can raise the purchase cost, but that they are also sturdier, tougher, and built to last, so the higher cost is offset by a years-longer life of hard work.

The diesel generator is the “workhorse” of power generators. A diesel generator produces more power than a gasoline or propane/natural gas powered generator, which means that it would cost less to operate than a gasoline or propane/natural gas powered generator of the same size. With the rising costs of fuel, you’ll want to get everything you can out of each drop of fuel, wouldn’t you say?

The engine of a diesel generator has fewer moving parts. Fewer moving parts means less chance for things to break, which means you can depend on your diesel generator. If it is going to be used as the emergency power source for your business, dependability is one of the most important things to consider. A diesel generator also doesn’t burn as hot as its gas powered counterpart, making it last longer and therefore more dependable.

Diesel generators used to be known for being loud and clunky, and expensive to maintain. But the modern diesel generator is much quieter and requires less maintenance.

Thanks to technological advances and the trend towards being more environmentally friendly, biodiesel fuel is now an option, which can run in a diesel generator and is less pollutant. Biodiesel is cleaner burning and has a longer engine life, so as research continues and biodiesel become more readily available, using a diesel generator can be an even better choice.
