FAQs

Straight answers

What size generator do I need?

Add up the running watts of everything you'll run at once, then allow for start-up surge, motors like fridges and pumps briefly pull 2–3x. A 2.2–3.2 kVA inverter suits a stall or cart, a 7 kVA runs a full food truck, and the 60 kVA diesel covers construction and big events. Tell us your gear and we'll size it for you.

How much does generator hire cost?

It depends on the unit size, how long you need it, delivery location, and dry vs operated hire. No hidden fees, delivery, fuel and pickup are all in your quote before you commit. Call 021 0877 1003 for a fast price.

Do you deliver, or do I collect?

Both. We deliver and collect Auckland-wide (plus Hamilton), or you can dry-hire and pick it up. Operated hire means we deliver, set up, run it and manage fuel for you.

Are your generators quiet?

Yes. Our Honda inverters run around 48–57 dB(A), quieter than a normal conversation, and the 60 kVA diesel sits in an ultra-silent canopy. Perfect for weddings, film and markets.

Can you do emergency and 24/7 callouts?

Yes. Power cut or last-minute event? We respond 24/7 across Auckland and get your essentials back on fast. Call 021 0877 1003 any time.

Do you have three-phase generators?

Yes. The 60 kVA Denyo provides 415V three-phase and single-phase. For bigger loads we arrange ultra-silent truck sets from 120 to 300 kVA through our network.

Need power sorted?
