Eligibility applies to qualified business buyers and is confirmed after we review your product, quantity, destination, and sourcing requirements. Final savings depend on supplier confirmation, product type and order value.
Site conditions before device selection.
A propane generator for house standby duty is specified from the site: which loads must stay up, whether the set is permanently mounted or rolled out, and which fuel supply actually exists. Those answers change the eligible construction. They are not finish options added after a low bid arrives. This page translates the application into purchase requirements. It does not state that a named kW will carry a particular house during an outage.
Utility natural gas and LP vapor are different machines even when the kW title looks similar. Runtime on LP depends on tank size, vaporization rate and load; a factory hour figure measured on gasoline does not transfer to vapor propane. Write the fuel you will actually connect, the inlet pressure if the specifier already measured it, and whether tank supply is the buyer's scope. Tank fill, gas-line installation and leak testing stay outside this office.
You decide connected load, which circuits transfer, whether load management is required, the listing edition you will accept, and commercial terms. Selective coordination, arc-flash studies and permit drawings are engineering conclusions. They are not guaranteed by circulating a quotation request. Do not assume a portable set can be substituted for a listed standby assembly because the watt numbers look close. Do not assume a transfer switch is included because the marketing name mentions whole-home duty.
A compact, high-utilization chassis can look cheaper on first kW. Conservative derating for altitude, high ambient temperature and enclosure restriction can change the eligible machine. We record both the published nameplate and the site conditions you state; we do not pick the utilization strategy for you. kW of real power and kVA of apparent power stay separate unless a power factor basis is written. Interrupting capacity in kA and short-circuit current rating belong to protective devices paired with the set, not to a generator family brochure.
Compare constructions on the option list. Align quotation lines on sourcing coordination. Send the site brief through the inquiry page.
State fuel, kW duty, voltage, quantity and destination. Site piping, pad construction and permits stay outside this office.
