Iran Generator Buying Guide and Tips

• Right size: Add up your essential loads (lights, fridge, router, small AC). Homes may get by with 2–3 kW inverters; businesses and farms often need 5–15 kW or higher.
• Noise level: Inverters ~50–60 dB; open-frame petrol units ~70–85 dB; diesel enclosed sets ~65–75 dB.
• Fuel type: Petrol is portable and common. Diesel is efficient for long runtimes and widely available in Iran. Gas (CNG/LPG) sets are also seen in some installations.
• Electrical safety: Always use a licensed electrician for installation. Proper ATS or changeover switches are essential—never back-feed into the grid.
• Power quality: Choose pure-sine inverters or AVR-equipped units for electronics.
• Maintenance: First oil change early, then follow service intervals. Stock filters, plugs, and oil. Test monthly with a load.
• Weather & storage: Place generators in covered, ventilated spaces. Consider running covers for rain protection.
• Accessories: Fuel cans, funnels, rated cords, and small UPS for routers.
