Do not assume that these brands are well known for nothing special in particular. They surely did not become household names just because people love the sound of their names.
Like we made it clear earlier, this is a huge market and for some brands to be quite well known they must have done something right.
They climbed that ladder for various reasons such as how strong and long-lasting their products are, how easy it is to maintain the generator and to locate spare parts, price amongst other reasons.
Of course there is no ban that is stopping you from trying out other brands of generators that are not so popular if you wish, it really is your call to make.
We have established the fact that an alternative source of power supply is well sort after in the country and buying a generator is actually a popular choice for this.
So if you are looking to purchase a generator set, there are a number of things you have to put into consideration so that you will not waste your resources purchasing a generator set that will not serve you properly.
GENERATORS POWER OUTPUT
A lot of persons make the mistake of buying a generator that does not produce enough power output to power their gadgets and appliances.
They are then stuck in a situation of always unplugging one gadget or appliance to be able to make use of another, for example putting off the standing fan to plug in the Television set or unplugging the refrigerator to make use of the micro wave.
You can totally avoid this predicament by purchasing a generator that can power all your electronics without a fuss.
You might be wondering how you would know the amount of power that your electronics consume so that you can make an informed choice on the generator to buy, we can help you out with that.
If you want to buy the generator for a space that has only the basics such as a Television, standing or ceiling fan, and light bulb, let us even throw in a computer, then a generator of 900VA to 1.5KVA will be able to power all that comfortably.
You know the type of generator that is popularly known as “I pass my neighbor”, yes that should do.
If the space is bigger and contains not just the basic electronics such as television, light bulb and ceiling fan but also refrigerators and air conditioners then you have to go for a 2.5KVA to 5KVA generator.
You see, it all depends on the electronics you want to power and how much power they consume.
Don’t even assume that there is a gadget or electronic that cannot be powered by a generator.
There are industrial and heavy duty generators that can power an entire factory so don’t be bothered.
All you have to do is know how much power output you would require in a generator to power all your appliances and voila there is a generator for you.
GENERATORS START OPTION
You also have to decide on the start option which could be recoil, key start or push button start system.
This however is not a choice you can make separately as most times a start option for a generator depends on the type of the generator.
Let us consider the small generator, that is the “I pass my neighbor generator”, most of this type of generator is fitted with a recoil start system that is the start option that involves you pulling a rope-and-grip.
It is not common to see a small generator that is fitted with the push button start option.
Likewise, a generator above 10KVA is most likely to come with a key start or push button start option.
If you are considering a medium power generator, you are likely to have more options because some are fitted with the recoil start option only.
Others are equipped with the recoil start option as well as the key start option. some come with the electrical push button start option.
Bear it in mind that the generators that have start up options such as key-start or push-button are more expensive than the recoil start generators.
In the end everything comes down to choice and what you can handle comfortably.
If you have the strength to handle the rope and grip option then go ahead, it is not even that difficult these days, just a simple tug will be just fine.
And if you can afford the other options or you don’t want any sort of energy expended on starting your generator, then you know the type to go for.
PETROL OR DIESEL FUEL GENERATORS
Some generators run on petrol while some run on diesel. The ones that run on diesel are mostly the large generators while the small and medium-sized generators usually run on petrol.
There are however, exceptions to the general rule as some medium-sized generators function with diesel while some of the large generators use petrol as fuel.
Yes there are advantages and disadvantages associated with the two options so you have to evaluate all these and go with the option that will serve you best.
Petrol generators are generally cheaper than diesel generators and a lot of persons go for this, however the petrol generators consume more fuel than the diesel generators.
The diesel generators do not just consume less fuel, but with proper maintenance, they last longer than the petrol generators.
Nevertheless, the diesel generators release more poisonous gases and CO2 per liter of fuel.
If you believe that your generator will have to be moved from place to place on a regular basis then you have to go for a generator that supports mobility and is fitted with features that can handle it.
Features such as strong, ergonomic handles and tires that makes it easy to move from one place to another.
This option is usually not available for large generators because those ones are usually fixed at a particular point.
