Grenada Generator Buying Guide and Tips

• Size your load: Add up essentials (fridge, lights, Wi-Fi, pump). Many homes run fine on 2–3 kW inverters; villas or businesses may need 6–15 kVA+ diesel.
• Noise: Inverters run 50–60 dB, diesel ~65–75 dB. Check local noise expectations.
• Fuel: Petrol inverters suit short outages; diesel is efficient for longer outages and commercial use. Dual-fuel simplifies storage.
• Electrical safety: Always use a licensed electrician for ATS or changeover installs. Never backfeed Grenlec lines.
• Power quality: Protect sensitive electronics with pure sine inverters or AVR diesel units plus surge protectors.
• Cords & outlets: Use 230 V Type G rated cords, short runs, weatherproof RCD plugs.
• Maintenance: First oil change early, then every 50–100 hrs. Stock oil, plugs, filters. Run monthly with load.
• Storage: Tropical humidity requires covers and ventilated placement—consider running covers.
• Accessories: Wheel kits, fuel cans, funnels, 30-amp cords, and portable UPS for Wi-Fi/routers.
