Spare parts are everywhere.

Another feature to watch out for in a good generator brand is the availability of the spare parts. This is also important

How will you know the spare parts to use wen you are not a mechanic.

If I may ask what were some of the spare parts you were given? Becaùse its quite harď for me to get the spare part of my Generator, my Mechanic had used a wrong one for me of which I wouldn't want it to repeat it self again.

I took my generator there to be serviced. That was even when I knew they have engine oil which I bought alongside spare parts that their engineer said my generator needed.

Interestingly, this can't happen with Sumec Firman spare parts cos you can check if the spare part is original by sending the 16 digit code on the spare part to a number which will confirm if its original or fake.

The pack of the spare part has a silver panel that you scratch and see either 20 digit code and send to a particular number. I was suprised too, I found out all of that out when I went to their service center. Naija don dey better small small grin

The ones that are not compatible with your Good brand of Generator is what you see everywhere,no Mechanic will spend money on getting what's compatible with your Gen. They all need money!!

In my case I knew the caburator is faulty,due to the fact it's leaking fuel. The Mechanic did change it but not quite long, the problem persist. So definitely he used an inferior one.

Though am in love with Thermocool Generator, but this might make me have a re-think has to also patronizing Sumec Firman Generator. The service centre been accessible and getting spare parts directly from there is quite a Top notch.

I don't understand what's going on here. Is this post all about throwing away our other brand of gen to patronizing sumec firman?

That is not the case here. I learnt from a generator thread in this app that Tec generators spare parts are scarce. Although, i don't know how true that is. If that is the case, you can always bank on Sumec Firman original spare parts to increase the life span of your generator

I know tec and Sumec are 2 good brands. But tec generators are more expensive than Sumec generators. So someone has to consider his/her pocket before buying any of the brands

Getting original Tec is very accessible too because they have authorised show rooms unlike some brands, one can just get anywhere at every generator shops

Re: Expensive Original Generators Or Cheap Fake Kva Generators by hoppez2020: 12:28pm On Dec 05, 2021
But I don't know if Tec has an authorised workshop for repairing their generators so that original spare parts could be used and expertise can handle
