3 Things You Might Not Have Known About Valley Power
Hardly a week goes by without us hearing a customer say something like: “Wow, I didn’t know Valley Power could do that.”
That kind of feedback always seems like a mixed bag. On the one hand, we love 
discovering that we can surprise and delight customers with unexpected extras and attention. It’s always great when we go the extra mile and get recognized for it. But on the other hand, we wish everyone knew all the different services we have to offer. It would mean more business for us, of course, but also more ways to serve the people and companies who keep us running.
For that reason, today’s post won’t focus on a specific product or process. Instead, we want to point out a few things you might not know about our company and what...
What Makes or Breaks an Engine Overhaul?
Modern machinery is an amazing thing. With thousands of years of experience in engineering behind us, we can mold a relatively small amount of metal into an amazing volume of horsepower and put it to specific uses. Not only that, but we can run our devices for hundreds of thousands of miles and expect them to work reliably. 
However, even the most carefully designed and constructed machinery is going to need serious attention at some point. You can prolong the life of a heavy diesel engine, generator, or marine power unit with careful maintenance, but eventually you’re going to be looking at an overhaul. Otherwise the wear and tear on pistons and other moving parts could render your engines unreliable.
Anyone who has worked in a business that requires heavy machinery knows that budgeting time and...
7 Mistakes Business Owners Make When Buying Engines and Generators
Buying engines and generators for your company isn’t as easy as it sounds. There are literally hundreds of different choices, and some of the terms and comparisons you come across may not be familiar. Making things even tougher is the fact that each decision could impact your annual budget for years to come. After all, engines and generators aren’t just expensive today; they require fuel and maintenance going forward. 
In the corporate world these sorts of decisions fall into the category of capital purchases. That means they involve a lot of money and can make or break the future of your enterprise. Unfortunately, you might not have a team of accountants and performance specialists on staff. So, you could be left choosing between various models and components on your own.
We don’t want to see you...
Choosing the Right Heavy-Duty Truck
So, you need to buy a new heavy-duty truck for your business. Maybe you need a long-haul rig that can move products from point A to point B. Or, you might require something with a lot of horsepower to pull or carry major loads for short distances. You might even need a truck that can do a little bit of both.
How can you ensure you’re going to choose the right model… or get a good deal on a big truck in the first place? 
This can be a big question for business owners, and particularly those who aren’t used to making capital purchases. After all, every dealer and manufacturer is going to suggest their option as the best one. And with the dollar amounts involved – both in terms of upfront costs and ongoing operating expenses – it’s not a decision most...
4 Ways the Wrong Power Plan Can Cost Your Business Big Money
In our business you learn some interesting things. For instance, you find out that choosing a piece of equipment always has a carry-on effect. Choosing a certain model of diesel generator, for example, doesn’t just come down to decisions about horsepower – there are also cost, compatibility, and consistency issues to address.
For that reason, much of what we do for our customers could be thought of as financial as well as operational. What we do affects the bottom line in the same way that it impacts day-to-day functionality. In fact, that might be the most important and significant contribution we make to our customers’ businesses. 
Business owners and executives don’t always appreciate the degree to which our work...
