Mauritius Generator Buying Guide and Tips

• Size your needs: Add up essentials (fridge, lights, router, pump, AC). Homes: ~2–3 kW inverter; businesses/hotels: 10–50+ kVA diesel.
• Noise: Inverter petrol units ~50–60 dB @ 7 m; open-frame or diesel ~70–85 dB. Consider neighbors and resort rules.
• Fuel choice: Petrol inverters = portable/quiet for short outages. Diesel = better efficiency, longer runtime, and durability in hot, humid climates.
• Electrical safety: Use a licensed electrician for changeover or ATS installation—never back-feed the grid. A generator interlock kit is a safe option.
• Power quality: Protect electronics with pure-sine inverters and surge protection.
• Cords & outlets: Use 230 V-rated cords, keep runs short, and avoid rain. Consider RCD protection.
• Maintenance: First oil change early (5–20 hours), then per schedule. Stock filters, plugs, and oil. Run monthly under load.
• Storage & weather: Tropical humidity needs dry, ventilated placement. Consider running covers and corrosion-resistant enclosures.

Buying Generator in Mauritius FAQs

How much does generator installation usually cost in Mauritius?
For small portable units with manual changeover: ~MUR 15,000–50,000 depending on labor/materials. A standby diesel with ATS, cabling, and pad can run ~MUR 100,000–300,000+ (excluding generator cost).

How noisy can a generator be in Mauritius?
Modern petrol inverters are ~50–60 dB @ 7 m (conversation-level). Open-frame petrol and diesel units often hit 70–85 dB. Resorts and residential areas may enforce noise limits, so check before purchase.

Which generator type and fuel are best for Mauritius’s climate?
For occasional outages, petrol inverter units are ideal—quiet and portable. For long or frequent outages, diesel sets with ATS are preferred—better efficiency and lifespan in humid, tropical conditions.

What are the typical warranties for generators in Mauritius?
Portable petrol units: usually 1–3 years limited warranty. Diesel standby/prime sets: 12–24 months or hour-based coverage when installed by an authorized dealer. Always confirm warranty terms in writing.
