Factors to consider when buying a generator in  Nigeria

After knowing the prices of generators fueled by both petrol and diesel the next thing is, what are the things to put into consideration when going for generators?

1.    Power output

This is the most important thing to consider when getting a generator. Its ability to power the appliances and gadgets used either in the house, office or factory.

So, when getting a generator, you must figure out the total amount of power consumed by the appliances and gadgets used. This can easily be done by checking the body casing of each unit and then adding up the power rating.

The size of the place the generator will power also determine which one to go for. If it is an industry, then we are talking about the big generators, the one for offices differs to depending on the gadgets used there. Same applies for houses too.

So, when purchasing generators, gadgets, appliances, and place of use must be properly considered. If you’re not so sure of your power requirements, here is a list of electrical gadget/appliances and their typical wattage requirements.

Television300 watts
Refrigerator700 – 1200 watts
Freezer500 – 1200 watts
Washing machine1000 – 1200 watts
Laptop computer250 watts
Air conditioner1000 – 2000 watts
Microwave oven600 – 1200 watts

2. Start-Up Option

This is another important thing to consider because it’s very essential to know if you are going for the key-start option, push-button start or recoil.

In this case, the size of the generator often determines the start option. For the small generators, it is more of the recoil option. Meanwhile, for the medium size generators, some models come with recoil start only, some with recoil start and key systems, and others with electrical push-button start systems.

While for the bigger ones is often the key-start option. Also, the person in charge of the generator should be considered. Is the person capable of operating the recoil generators? If not, then that is no option.

3. Fuel

The kind of Fuel to be used to power the machine is also important. Is it diesel or petrol?

Most small and medium-sized generators run on petrol while the large ones run on diesel run. Although, there are some medium-sized generators running on diesel and there are large generators running on petrol.

Most Nigerians go for petrol running generators for homes and small offices while bigger companies and industries go for diesel running generators.

4. Mobility

This is not much of consideration but an advantage for the small and medium size generators because the bigger ones cannot be moved around. But when going for a small or medium generator always ensure they can easily be moved around conveniently.

If your generators won’t be fixed at a permanent point then they should come with mobility features such as firm, ergonomic handles and rubber tires.
