What affects a generator's price
- Power output (kVA): the single biggest factor in the price.
- Fuel type: diesel generators dominate; gas sets can lower running cost.
- Engine brand and hours: reputable engines with low hours hold value.
- Canopy and ATS: soundproof canopy and auto transfer switch add cost.
Diesel vs gas generators
Diesel generators are the standard choice for reliability and resale in Pakistan. Gas generators can cut fuel cost where a gas supply is available, but check availability and conversion quality before you buy.
How to size a generator
Add up the running load of everything you need to power, then allow headroom for motor start-up surges. Oversizing wastes fuel; undersizing trips the set. When in doubt, ask the seller to confirm the continuous (prime) rating, not just the peak.
Buying a used generator
Check engine hours, oil condition, exhaust smoke, and whether it holds voltage and frequency under load. Ask for a load test before paying.
