Just shifted to a new neighbourhood – and in the midst of the welcome party – the lights shut off! No, that’s not the surprise you planned – but definitely the shock you receive – your new neighbourhood is prone to power cuts.
Where does your mind rush? Buying a generator for power backup.
What about the money? (Brand new generators are costly!)
For the uninitiated, used generators are good investment – with saving of 25-50% (records prove).
However, here comes the queries – what about the warranty period?
Finding parts for old generators are difficult, and…. lots more! Well, no doubt these are true to a certain extent, but would not hold true if you consider certain factors before buying them.
What factors?
# Consideration 1: Is the seller offering a limited warranty period?
If YES, then go for it – if NO, then, back off! A 30-90 day warranty period is a must to ensure that all issues about this product will be sorted by the company.
# Consideration 2: Specific details of this generator (age/ usage/ wear and tear)
Ask your dealer the service record details – from usage hours to mechanical and electronic components. Don’t forget details of wear and tear of this product!
# Consideration 3: Model that is sold and manufacturing details
Cut the concept of ‘new manufacturers’ and stick to ‘pillars’ of this industry to get a model of reputed quality. Know your model well (place your choices first) and check the manufacturing details of that model.
# Consideration 4: Conduct a load test
To ensure that this generator has correct output at maximum frequency – checking its overall efficiency is a must! Any reputed dealer will conduct this test before selling.
With all these points ticked off your ‘check-list’, rest assured – you will find a ‘cheap but good’ product. Hurry off to the dealer in your area .
