Frequently Asked Questions — Generators
Sizing, fuel type, noise and servicing.
What size generator do I need?
Add up the running watts of everything you want to power, then add the surge of the largest motor (fridges, pumps and air conditioners surge to about 3x on start-up). For a home with a fridge, TV, lights and a pump, 3-5 kVA is typical.
Petrol, diesel or LPG?
Petrol is cheaper upfront and fine for occasional backup. Diesel gives more torque, better fuel economy for long runs, and lasts longer under continuous use. LPG is cleaner and quieter where gas is available.
Silent or open frame?
Silent (canopy) generators are much quieter, weatherproof, and preferred for residential areas and events. Open frame generators are cheaper, lighter, and better for construction sites.
Can it power my whole house?
Yes, with the right size and an ATS (automatic transfer switch). A qualified electrician must install the changeover to isolate your home from the grid. Ask us for a sizing and installation quote.
How often should I service it?
Change engine oil and filters per the manual (usually every 100-200 hours of running), clean the air filter, check fuel and coolant, and keep the unit dry.
