GENERATOR ENCLOSURE: ALUMINUM Vs STEEL

Aluminum generator enclosures are ideal for high humidity areas because they are resistant to rust and corrosion.

Living in Florida you should never choose a steel enclosure over an aluminum one. Even though the initial investment may be lower with a steel enclosure, in the long run you will be faced with having to replace the steel enclosure, incurring in extra parts and labor, it's just not a cost-effective decision.

In addition, rusted generator enclosures may expose internal components to the weather elements making them malfunction and sometimes causing major breakdowns.

  In general, an aluminum enclosure, compared to steel, will extend the life of your generator, save you $$ 
and downtime.
