Questions to ask before financing an industrial generator and its installation for your Nova Scotia business.
A business backup-power quote is most useful when it explains both the equipment and the work needed to put it into service. Before comparing payment options, make sure the proposed system and installation scope match the needs of your facility.
List the operations that matter during an outage and ask your electrical contractor to assess them. Distinguish essential loads from equipment you can leave off. Have the contractor determine the system requirements; do not choose a generator solely from a price or a generic sizing chart.
Ask whether the written quote addresses each of these items, where relevant:
Record who supplies each part and who coordinates the work. These are questions for the installer, not a technical installation checklist for business owners to carry out themselves.
Ask about the applicable warranty, maintenance schedule, service support and fuel costs. Keep recurring expenses in your operating budget even when financing is available for the initial purchase. A maintenance agreement should state what is included and how additional work is charged.
1st Electric's generator service page describes its consultation, site assessment and installation support. Ask for a commercial, site-specific scope rather than relying on residential package information.
Before paying a non-refundable deposit, ask the financing provider to confirm eligible costs, required documents, any contribution from your business and funding conditions. Equipment, civil work and service expenses may not all be treated the same way. Keep any allowance for unexpected work separate from the approved amount.
