we specialize in providing high-quality generator hire on trailers, perfect for your event. Our service goes beyond just delivering the generator—we’ll arrive, set up the generator, and lay out all the necessary power cables to ensure your event runs smoothly.
For shorter events, such as half-day functions, we’ll often stay on-site to help distribute power exactly where it’s needed. Whether it’s powering a marquee, the stage for a band or DJ, or ensuring food caterers have the power they need to operate efficiently, we’ve got you covered.
Unlike many other generator companies, we focus exclusively on events and small film shoots—we don’t cater to construction sites. This allows us to dedicate our expertise to delivering reliable, event-specific power solutions. So whether it’s a single day or a longer event, we’ll be there, ready to keep the power flowing smoothly.
The size of the generator needed for your marquee depends on several factors, including the number of appliances you’ll be powering, the location of the event, and the overall power consumption. To help you make the right choice, here are a few key considerations:
Appliances & Equipment: The number and type of appliances you plan to use—such as lighting, sound systems, catering equipment, and heating—will directly impact the size of the generator required.
Event Location: The location of your event may influence your power needs. For example, remote locations without easy access to mains electricity may require a larger generator or additional power sources.
Power Consumption: Each appliance has a different power requirement. It’s essential to calculate the total wattage of all devices to ensure your generator can handle the load comfortably without overloading.
Understanding Power Usage in Most Homes (kVA)
In residential settings, power is typically measured in kilovolt-amperes (kVA), which represents the apparent power in an electrical system. Most houses in the UK use between 9-12 kVA of power, depending on the size of the property and the number of appliances being used.
Here are a few common factors that can affect a home’s power requirements:
Household Size: Larger homes with more rooms and more electrical devices will generally need higher kVA levels.
Electrical Appliances: High-consumption appliances like electric ovens, heating systems, air conditioning units, and electric showers can significantly increase the power demand.
Energy-Efficient Devices: Homes with energy-efficient appliances and lighting typically consume less power, meaning lower kVA requirements.
