Generator Rentals Done Right
Generator rentals for San Francisco-area construction sites, standby coverage during planned outages, and outdoor events. We carry diesel and natural-gas units from 25kW to 500kW, all Tier 4 Final certified, sound-attenuated, with fuel delivery and 24/7 remote monitoring. Daily, weekly, and monthly rates.
How We Work
Site visit, load calculation, written quote — and we stand behind the install.
1. Load calculation
Tell us what you’re running — tools, lifts, A/V, refrigeration, server rack — and we compute running kW and starting kW, then pick a unit with margin.
2. Delivery and hookup
Flatbed delivery anywhere in the SF metro. Our crew lands the leads, ties grounds, and runs a load test before leaving.
3. Fuel and monitoring
Scheduled fuel delivery is included. We monitor fuel level and faults remotely 24/7 and dispatch before you run dry.
When You Need Generator Rentals
A generator rental is the right call when:
- Construction site without utility power — raw lots, tear-downs, or sites waiting on a temp pole.
- Planned outage or PSPS coverage — keep the office, restaurant, or facility live during a shutoff.
- Outdoor event or film shoot — weddings, festivals, productions where venue power isn’t enough.
- Backup while your unit is down — short-term coverage while we service or repair your generator.
- Tier 4 compliance required — public works and air-quality-restricted sites need certified units.
- Testing or commissioning — temporary power while a permanent install is in progress.
Tell us the load and the duration — we'll size the unit and quote a flat rate the same day. Call: (415) 818-1837
What Affects the Cost of Generator Rentals
Generator rental is a flat daily, weekly, or monthly rate plus fuel. Depends on:
- Generator size. 25kW to 500kW in our fleet. Right-sized is cheapest — over-spec’d wastes fuel.
- Rental length. Daily, weekly, monthly. Monthly is far cheaper per day.
- Diesel vs. natural gas. Diesel for mobile and remote. Natural gas where a gas line is available — lower fuel cost on long runs.
- Fuel delivery cadence. Scheduled is included; emergency same-day fuel adds a delivery fee.
- Sound attenuation. Standard sound-attenuated is baseline. Super-quiet film/event units cost more.
- Delivery distance. Within the SF metro is included. Long-haul gets a flat fuel quote.
Bottom line: tell us the kW and the timeline, we'll quote a flat rate the same day.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you deliver a rental in San Francisco?
Most SF-area deliveries are next-day. Same-day is possible for emergencies when a unit is on the yard — call and we’ll check.
What sizes do you stock?
Diesel and natural-gas units from 25kW to 500kW. Common rentals: 25kW for small sites, 100kW for mid-sized, 250–500kW for large multifamily, commercial, and PSPS coverage.
Are your generators Tier 4 Final certified?
Yes. Every unit in our fleet is EPA Tier 4 Final certified — required on most public works and air-quality-restricted sites.
Do you deliver fuel?
Yes. Fuel delivery is included on a scheduled basis. We monitor fuel level remotely and dispatch before you run dry.
Can you cover a PSPS event?
Yes — and customers on a standing rental contract get priority during regional shutoff events. We pre-stage units in affected zones when the PSPS forecast goes red.
