    Aurora Generators - Overview

    Aurora Generators Podcast Overview Join us on the Aurora Generators Podcast, where we bring you in-depth conversations and practical advice on reliable power solutions for homes, off-grid retreats, and industrial sites. Whether you’re safeguarding your family against unexpected blackouts or powering a remote cabin, our podcast delivers essential insights from the people who design, build, and service diesel generators every day. Why Diesel? Diesel engines are the backbone of long-lasting, high-performance backup power. On average, a diesel generator can last over twenty times longer than gasoline, propane, or natural-gas units—translating into fewer repairs, lower operating costs, and greater peace of mind. We break down the advantages of diesel fuel, discuss best practices for fuel storage and maintenance, and explain how to maximize engine life through routine servicing. From the 2003 Northeast Blackout to Today Our story began during the Great Northeast Blackout of 2003, when the generators people counted on failed at their moment of need—noisy, unreliable, and prone to breakdowns. Frustrated by these shortcomings, we set out to build a better generator: one assembled domestically from premium components, engineered for quiet operation, and rigorously tested for dependability. In each episode, you’ll hear how that commitment to quality still drives every design decision at Aurora Generators Inc. What to Expect Sizing & Selection: Learn how to calculate the right generator capacity for your critical loads—refrigerators, sump pumps, heating systems, and more.Installation Insights: Get step-by-step guidance on selecting transfer switches, planning electrical hookups, and ensuring code compliance—even if you’re not an electrician.Maintenance Made Simple: Discover how routine inspections and preventive care can keep your generator ready, including oil-change intervals, coolant checks, and battery testing.Expert Q&A: Have a question? Our engineers, technicians, and customer-support specialists tackle listener inquiries, from troubleshooting strange noises to optimizing fuel efficiency.Industry Innovations: Stay current on the latest in remote monitoring, hybrid power integration, and emerging standards that affect generator performance and safety.Your Partner in Power At Aurora Generators, our mission is to exceed your expectations through exceptional product reliability and second-to-none customer support.
