Slovakia Generator Buying Guide and Tips

• Calculate your load: List essentials (fridge, router, lighting, pump). Small homes often need 2–3 kW; farms or SMEs may require 10+ kVA diesel.
• Noise control: Inverter units run ~50–60 dB at 7 m, while open-frame petrol sets can exceed 75 dB. Check local bylaws if using in residential zones.
• Fuel choice: Petrol inverters are lightweight and ideal for short outages. Diesel is efficient for longer runtimes. LPG/dual-fuel options offer versatility.
• Safety first: Use licensed electricians for ATS/changeover installations. Never back-feed into the grid. Always use RCD protection.
• Power quality: Protect electronics with pure sine inverters or AVR-equipped units.
• Maintenance: Perform first oil change early (5–20 hours), then follow 50–100 hour intervals. Keep spare filters, plugs, and oil handy.
• Weather & storage: Slovakia’s winters require frost-protection. Store fuel safely and consider covers for outdoor setups.
• Accessories: Wheel kits, fuel cans, heavy-duty cords, and CO alarms are must-haves.

Modern inverters operate at ~50–60 dB @ 7 m, similar to a normal conversation. Open-frame petrol sets are 70–85 dB, and enclosed diesel sets usually 65–75 dB. Always check local residential noise regulations.
