Monaco Generator Buying Guide and Tips

• Right size, right use: Flats and yachts typically need 1.6–3.0 kW inverter generators. Villas and businesses may require 10–45 kVA diesel sets.
• Noise rules: Monaco is dense—opt for inverters (50–60 dB) or enclosed diesel units with sound attenuation.
• Fuel choice: Petrol inverters are portable for short outages. Diesel sets are better for villas, marinas, and long runtimes.
• Safety first: Use a certified electrician for ATS/changeover installs. Never back-feed the grid.
• Power quality: Choose pure-sine inverter generators or AVR-equipped diesel sets for electronics.
• Storage & placement: Protect generators from sea air and humidity. Use weatherproof covers and ensure ventilation.
• Accessories: Handy extras include wheel kits, funnels, rated cords, and portable CO detectors.
