Paraguay Generator Buying Guide and Tips

• Size your load: Add up fridge, lights, routers, small AC units or pumps. Homes usually need 2–3 kW; farms or SMEs may need 10–30 kVA diesel.
• Noise: Inverters run 50–60 dB @ 7 m; open-frame petrol can be 70–85 dB. In residential Asunción, quieter is better.
• Fuel choice: Petrol inverters are portable and quiet. Diesel gens are more efficient for long runtimes and heavy use.
• Electrical safety: Always use a licensed installer. Never backfeed. Install a changeover switch or ATS.
• Power quality: Choose pure sine inverters for sensitive electronics; AVR-equipped units for general use.
• Maintenance: Oil change after first 20 hours, then per schedule. Keep filters, plugs, and oil stocked.
• Weather: Paraguay’s hot, humid climate demands shade and ventilation. Consider running covers or enclosures.
• Accessories: Wheel kits, safe fuel cans, and rated cords make operation safer.
