Moldova Generator Buying Guide and Tips

• Size your load: Add up essential appliances (fridge, lights, router, pump). Small homes often cope with 2–3 kW inverters; larger homes may need 5–10 kW or diesel gensets.
• Noise levels: Inverters are 50–60 dB @ 7 m; open-frame petrol 70–85 dB; enclosed diesel 65–75 dB. Always check local noise rules in residential areas.
• Fuel choice: Petrol inverters are portable and quiet, good for short outages. Diesel units are efficient for long runtimes and commercial backup.
• Electrical safety: Use licensed electricians for any fixed installation. Install an ATS or manual switch—never back-feed the utility grid.
• Power quality: Protect electronics with pure-sine inverters or AVR-equipped gensets plus surge protection.
• Accessories: Stock up on covers, cords, wheel kits, and fuel stabilizer.
• Maintenance: First oil change early, then follow intervals. Run monthly under load to keep systems healthy.

Buying Generator in Moldova FAQs

How much does generator installation usually cost in Moldova?

How noisy can a generator be in Moldova?
Modern inverters run ~50–60 dB @ 7 m (conversation-level). Open-frame petrol units 70–85 dB, enclosed diesel ~65–75 dB. Residential rules may restrict loud operation at night.

Which generator type and fuel are best for Moldova’s climate?
For short, occasional outages, petrol inverters are great. For frequent or long outages, diesel gensets are more efficient and reliable in Moldova’s continental climate.

What are the typical warranties for generators in Moldova?
Portable petrol units: 1–2 years limited warranty. Diesel standby units: typically 12–24 months or hour-based coverage when sold and installed by authorised dealers. Always verify terms in writing.
