All Generator Rentals Receive Regular Service

When you rent portable generator equipment, you expect it to perform well at your site. The Thompson Rents team includes factory-trained technicians who know what it takes to keep the generators on the job and operating at peak efficiency. 

We conduct timely inspections and provide regular service to ensure our power generation equipment can handle the challenge. We focus on preventive maintenance to detect and troubleshoot minor mechanical issues before they become costly repair issues. We also perform corrective maintenance to fix faults and ensure the generator is functioning properly.

With our team on your side, you can rest assured that your rental will work exactly as expected — and if you encounter a problem during the rental period, we're always here to provide prompt, professional service to get the machinery back up and running.

The Benefits of Renting a Generator

For many reasons, it may not make sense for your team to invest in purchasing a portable generator. Instead, construction companies and contractors can save money by renting generators for specific projects, such as projects on remote worksites, or in anticipation of severe weather. If you don't expect to use a generator frequently, renting allows you to create room in your budget for other needs, save storage space and reduce transportation needs.

Choosing a portable generator for rent offers numerous advantages compared to buying. If your company is spending too much on equipment repairs and maintenance, you don't have to pay for these often prohibitive costs with rentals. You also won't need any startup capital or a substantial downpayment.

Renting also gives you more fleet management flexibility since you'll need to add equipment when your workload increases or you require a quick replacement for a broken-down unit. Your project results will improve because you can match products with specific applications. You can even try one or more models you're thinking of purchasing to help you find the perfect fit for your business.
