Fiji Generator Buying Guide and Tips

• Sizing: Add up essential loads (fridge, freezer, lights, water pump, small AC). Homes usually need 2–5 kW; farms/worksites may require 10–45 kVA.
• Noise: Inverter generators run at 50–60 dB, while open-frame petrol models exceed 70–85 dB. Check community noise rules.
• Fuel: Petrol inverters are best for portability and light use. Diesel is more efficient for long runtimes or commercial loads.
• Safety: Always use a licensed electrician for ATS/changeover installation. Never back-feed into the grid.
• Power quality: Protect electronics with pure-sine inverter generators and surge protectors.
• Maintenance: First oil change at 5–20 hours, then follow manual. Stock filters, plugs, and spare oil. Test-run monthly with load.
• Weather: Fiji’s tropical humidity means generators should be placed in ventilated, covered enclosures. Use running covers for portables.
• Accessories: Wheel kits, rated cords, fuel stabilizer, and small UPS for electronics are recommended.

Buying Generator in Fiji FAQs

How much does generator installation usually cost in Fiji?
For a small portable with manual switch, expect FJD $600–$1,500 for licensed electrician labour and materials. A larger standby diesel system with ATS and pad may cost FJD $5,000–$15,000+ excluding the generator itself.

How noisy can a generator be in Fiji?
Modern inverters are about 50–60 dB at 7 m (conversation-level). Open-frame petrol can exceed 75–85 dB. Enclosed diesel sets are usually ~65–75 dB. Always consider neighbours and community rules.

Which generator type and fuel are best for Fiji’s climate?
For households with occasional outages: petrol inverter generators (quiet/portable). For businesses and longer outages: diesel generators with ATS—better efficiency, durability, and safer fuel storage in tropical heat.

What are the typical warranties for generators in Fiji?
Portable inverters: usually 1–2 years limited warranty. Diesel standby/prime sets: commonly 12–24 months or hour-based coverage, valid when commissioned by authorised dealers. Always confirm written warranty terms before purchase.
