Taiwan Generator Buying Guide and Tips

• Right size matters: Small flats can run on 1.6–2.2 kW inverter units. SMEs or large homes may need 5–10+ kW or 10–45 kVA diesel.
• Noise rules: Inverter units run ~50–60 dB; open-frame petrol can exceed 75 dB. Check apartment or neighborhood rules.
• Fuel choice: Petrol inverters are light and convenient. Diesel is best for long runtimes, efficiency, and industrial use. Dual-fuel adds flexibility.
• Electrical safety: Use licensed electricians for ATS/changeover installation. Never backfeed into the grid.
• Power quality: Sensitive electronics demand pure sine wave inverters or AVR-equipped sets.
• Cords/outlets: Taiwan uses 110 V (Type A/B) plugs for small units and 220 V 3-phase outlets for larger ones. Use proper gauge cords and RCD protection.
• Maintenance: First oil change at 5–20 hours, then at intervals. Stock spare oil, filters, and plugs. Test-run monthly.
• Weather & storage: Taiwan’s humidity demands sheltered placement. Use generator covers and ventilated enclosures.
• Accessories: Wheel kits, rated cords, funnels, and small UPS backups for routers and modems.

Buying Generator in Taiwan FAQs

How much does generator installation usually cost in Taiwan?
For portable units with manual changeover, budget NT$12,000–45,000. A standby diesel with ATS and cabling can cost NT$100,000–300,000+ depending on project scope.

How noisy can a generator be in Taiwan?
Modern inverters run 50–60 dB @ 7m, similar to normal conversation. Open-frame petrol units hit 70–85 dB. Diesel sets in enclosures average 65–75 dB. Always check local regulations.

Which generator type and fuel are best for Taiwan’s climate?
Petrol inverters suit short, occasional outages. Diesel is better for frequent or extended blackouts—efficient, durable, and less sensitive to Taiwan’s humidity. Dual-fuel or LPG can be convenient for urban storage.

What are the typical warranties for generators in Taiwan?
Portable petrol units: usually 1–3 years limited warranty. Diesel standby sets: 12–24 months or hour-based coverage if installed by an authorised dealer. Always confirm terms in writing.
