When Was The Last Time You Bought A Generator? by lukaino(m): 3:50pm On Jun 10, 2013
How often do you buy generators?
I am buying generators almost on a yearly basis. It has alway been the "i better pass my neighbour" i got a 2kva last year and i am hoping it will last for sometime. though my usage is very high as PHCN does what they know best. Looking forward to that day we would not need these in Nigeria

I just purchased a 20kva Cummins gen last month for 1.6m (plus commisioning) for my main home.

Will be purchasing another 5kva by July ending for my annex home.

Save money and purchase a big diesel generator.. They last longer than fuel generators and require less servicing.

Loolzzz...you are right though.. The diesel powered generators are by far better than the petrol powered.

However, in my estate you can't run petrol generator ( strictly diesel power gen allowed) nor can your gen run beyond 12am...either you then switch to the inverter or you let open the windows.. cheesy

Lol.

Funny enuff when the company came to do a load assessment on my house, they suggested a 27 - 33kva gen.. Nna men! I shout na. So I settled for the 20 kva.. The motivation to buy the Generator was longevity. Now I know that over the next 4 - 6 years, I no go get any major headache with generator. Simply service it every 5000 hours and you will be fine. You fit run her for 48hours non stop and your mind no go cut say e go spoil from over working..

The only downside to big generators na the price of Diesel..

But thank God for Asari refineries Nig limited.. grin

Buying big diesel generator is not the problem, fueling it is the main issue,

Give it six months you will be singing a different song on how you spend a good part of your income on diesel

I use to have 30kva, 15kva diesel generators together with 5kva, 2kva and 1kva Petrol generators.

That was long ago

I have backed it up with a 15kva inverter.. Only problem is I bought the inverter second hand from a family friend who was relocating abroad.. The darn thing does not even last. Can't carry a single 1.5 horsepower AC and a single fridge for up to 1:30 mins before it runs flat. Now my next mission is to save up, sell this one off and replace it with a brand new solar powered 20kva inverter.. That should solidly cover all my electricity problem. Although I must confess sha, NEPA for my area dey para of late.. From 6pm in the evening till 10am in the morning, you barely suffer up to 3hrs of no light cumulative.
