Bulgaria Generator Buying Guide and Tips

• Sizing matters: Add up wattage of essentials (lights, fridge, pumps, router). Homes often need 2–5 kW; small businesses may need 7–15 kW or higher.
• Noise control: Inverters run 50–60 dB; open-frame petrol can reach 80+ dB. Consider neighbours and noise rules in residential zones.
• Fuel choice: Petrol inverters are portable and quiet. Diesel is best for long runtime and efficiency. LPG/dual-fuel adds flexibility.
• Installation: Use a licensed electrician for ATS or manual changeover. Never back-feed the grid.
• Power quality: Protect electronics with pure sine inverter units or AVR-equipped models plus surge protection.
• Maintenance: First oil change at 5–20 hours, then follow manual. Keep oil, filters, plugs (petrol), and spares ready. Test-run monthly with load.
• Storage & weather: Protect from rain; ventilated, covered spots are ideal. A running cover helps in bad weather.
• Accessories: Wheel kits, fuel cans, heavy-duty cords, and UPS for routers are handy.
