Greece Generator Buying Guide and Tips

• Size your generator right: Calculate essential loads—fridge, lighting, router, pumps. Most homes manage on 2–3 kW portables; villas or SMEs may need 5–20 kVA.
• Noise: Inverters usually run at 50–60 dB; open-frame petrol 70–85 dB. Check local noise rules, especially in dense neighborhoods.
• Fuel: Petrol inverters are portable and convenient. Diesel gensets are more efficient for long runtime and lower cost per kWh. LPG/dual-fuel is available in some models and may be easier to store.
• Electrical safety: Always use a licensed electrician to install a transfer switch or ATS—never back-feed the grid.
• Power quality: Protect electronics with pure sine inverters or AVR-equipped sets, plus a good surge protector.
• Cords and outlets: Use 230 V-rated Type C/F cords, properly gauged (2.5–4 mm²). Protect from rain and use RCD protection.
• Maintenance: First oil change after 20 hours, then per manufacturer schedule. Keep spare plugs, filters, and oil handy. Run monthly with a load.
• Weather & storage: Greece’s hot summers require shaded, ventilated placement. Use a cover for protection.
• Accessories: Fuel cans, wheel kits, and rated cords improve usability.

Buying Generator in Greece FAQs

How noisy can a generator be in Greece?
Modern inverters average 50–60 dB at 7 m (conversation level). Open-frame petrol units run 70–85 dB, while enclosed diesel units are ~65–75 dB. Check local municipal noise rules for residential areas.

Which generator type and fuel are best for Greece’s climate?
For short outages, petrol inverter generators are ideal (portable, quiet). For long summer outages or rural properties, diesel gensets with ATS are recommended. LPG/dual-fuel may also be convenient where bottled gas is common.

What are the typical warranties for generators in Greece?
Portable petrol inverters usually include 1–3 years consumer warranty. Diesel standby sets commonly have 12–24 months or hour-based coverage when installed by an authorised dealer. Always confirm warranty in writing.
