Cyprus Generator Buying Guide and Tips

• Right size, right circuit: Add up your must-have loads (fridge, lights, internet, pump). Small homes may use 2–3 kW inverters, while villas often need 5–10+ kW or diesel 20–50 kVA sets.
• Noise matters: Inverters are ~50–60 dB @ 7 m; open-frame petrol can exceed 70–85 dB. Diesel sets usually ~65–75 dB. Check neighborhood regulations.
• Fuel choice: Petrol inverters are best for short outages and portability. Diesel is ideal for efficiency and long runtimes. LPG/dual-fuel options are growing in popularity for storage convenience.
• Electrical safety: Always hire a licensed electrician for installations. Use an ATS—never back-feed the grid. Consider surge protection for sensitive electronics.
• Maintenance: First oil change within early hours, then every 50–100 hours. Stock oil, filters, and plugs. Test monthly with a load.
• Weather & storage: Cyprus’s heat demands shaded, ventilated generator placement. Use running covers and corrosion-resistant enclosures.
• Accessories: Wheel kits, funnels, fuel cans, rated generator cords, and a UPS for routers are handy.

Buying Generator in Cyprus FAQs

How much does generator installation usually cost in Cyprus?
Portable unit installation with a manual changeover can cost €400–€1,200. Standby diesel systems with ATS and cabling range from €2,500–€7,000+, excluding the generator itself.

How noisy can a generator be in Cyprus?
Modern inverters are about 50–60 dB @ 7 m, open-frame petrol ~70–85 dB, and enclosed diesel sets ~65–75 dB. Always confirm with local building codes or neighborhood restrictions.

Which generator type and fuel are best for Cyprus’s climate?
For short outages: petrol inverter generators (portable, quiet). For frequent/long outages: diesel gensets with ATS, as they handle heat well and are more fuel efficient.

What are the typical warranties for generators in Cyprus?
Portable units usually include 1–3 years consumer warranty. Diesel standby gensets often carry 12–24 months or hour-based coverage when sold and installed by authorised dealers—always confirm in writing.
