Seychelles Generator Buying Guide and Tips

• Match size to load: Add up your essential appliances (fridge, lights, pump, router). Small homes may cope with 2–3 kW inverters; resorts need 10–50+ kVA diesel sets.
• Noise: Inverter generators are 50–60 dB at 7 m, while diesel gens range 65–80 dB. Ask about soundproof enclosures.
• Fuel choice: Petrol inverters for portability and short outages; diesel for longer runtimes and efficiency. Dual-fuel/LPG is rare locally.
• Safety: Use licensed electricians for installation. Always include a compliant ATS or changeover switch—never back-feed.
• Power quality: For electronics, stick to pure sine inverter generators or AVR-equipped sets.
• Cords & outlets: Seychelles uses Type G 240 V plugs. Use properly rated cords and RCD protection.
• Maintenance: First oil change early, then every 50–100 hours. Stock filters, spark plugs, and oil. Test monthly with a load.
• Weather & storage: Tropical humidity requires dry, ventilated storage. Consider a generator cover or enclosure.

Buying Generator in Seychelles FAQs

How much does generator installation usually cost in Seychelles?
Portable unit setups with manual changeover typically cost ~SCR 6,000–15,000. Standby diesel systems with ATS and cabling may run SCR 40,000–100,000+, excluding the generator itself.

How noisy can a generator be in Seychelles?
Modern inverters: ~50–60 dB at 7 m (like conversation). Open-frame petrol: 70–85 dB. Diesel gens with enclosures: ~65–75 dB. Resorts and residential areas often require low-noise models.

Which generator type and fuel are best for Seychelles’s climate?
For occasional home outages, petrol inverters are best. For hotels, villas, or long outages, diesel gensets with ATS are recommended for efficiency and durability in humid tropical conditions.

What are the typical warranties for generators in Seychelles?
Most portable petrol units: 1–2 years limited warranty. Diesel standby sets: 12–24 months or hour-based coverage, depending on the dealer. Always verify warranty terms and service coverage in writing.
