Hi everyone, I’ve been exploring options for dependable backup power at home and wanted to share what I’ve learned so far, and get your take too. With frequent power cuts where I live, I’m leaning toward a diesel electric generator for home use because of the fuel efficiency and long run times.
I came across this company (
https://pcasltd.com/) that offers a range of diesel generators in different capacities. Some of the things I’m trying to figure out are:
What size generator is practical for a typical household (say 3–5 bedroom home with AC, fridge, lights, and a few electronics)?
Pros and cons you’ve experienced with diesel generators versus petrol or inverter setups.
Any tips on maintenance, noise levels, and fuel costs.
Safety best practices for installation and use at home.
If you’ve used a diesel electric generator or have researched them, I’d really appreciate your insights. What should a first-time buyer know before investing in one?
Thanks in advance!
