When it comes to power generation for your job site or facility, choosing whether to rent or purchase your equipment can make a major impact on your bottom line. At Cat5 Power Solutions, we help clients across Southeast Texas make smarter decisions based on need, budget, and return on investment (ROI).
Purchasing Generators: The Long-Term Power Play
Buying a generator is a strategic investment for operations with long-term or permanent power needs. From petrochemical facilities to data centers and remote stations, owning your equipment gives you total control.
Benefits include:
- Lower operational costs after the initial purchase
- Quarterly service plans from Cat5 to protect your investment
- Eligibility for depreciation tax advantages
➡️ Example ROI: A petrochemical plant in Beaumont reduced unplanned downtime by 40% after upgrading to a Bobcat PG50 with Cat5’s quarterly service—resulting in six-figure annual savings from avoided outages.
Renting Generators: The Agile, Budget-Friendly Option
For short-term projects, disaster recovery, or temporary job sites, renting is often the more flexible option. Cat5’s generator rentals deliver industrial-grade reliability without the capital commitment.
Perks of renting:
- No upfront CAPEX
- Quick access to well-maintained equipment
- Scalable for changing power needs across job sites
