More and more people are buying a power generator for their home. This gives a sense of security and comfort that in the event of any power failure, the household members will be able to function without any restrictions. All equipment requiring access to electricity will operate without interruptions.

The primary factor affecting the location of the power generator is its type

Power generator: portable or on a rolling chassis

We can store portable power generators in any location. Such a generator can be very easily transported to a place where we need access to electricity.

However, it is important to remember that an outdoor generator should be protected against rain. It must be stored in a covered room, and if we need to move the generator to provide power supply at other place, it is necessary to ensure that the rain does not make it wet.

Another aspect that should keep it mind is the sound emitted by the running generator. Let's make sure that the noise doesn't bother us or our neighbours.

Stationary generator

The purchase of a stationary generator involves making a well-thought-out decision regarding its placement, as it will be a space permanently dedicated to the operation of the generator. A generator is supposed to serve us without failures for many years, so it will spend a very long time in its place of installation.  This should be a safe, functional and comfortable location.

If we purchased  an open version, the generator must be placed in a roofed room due to the need to protect it from weather conditions. In the case of closed rooms, we should remember to provide ventilation and exhaust gas discharge. Proper air circulation is a very important factor. If possible, the room should be in close proximity to the electrical switchgear, so as to reduce installation costs. Please note that each power generator supplying the entire building should be connected to a professional network-generator switch. The closer the generator to the switch is, the lower the installation costs are.

Example of room analysis

Garage at home or boiler room – these places are chosen often, but it is worth noting the noise emitted by a running generator. For petrol generators, these values are around 90 dB. Mounting a generator inside the house will not always be the best option.

Outbuilding – on one hand, it is usually a place at a certain distance from the house, so the sound of a running generator will not be disturbing, and on the other hand, it is close enough that the cost of installation will be optimal.



Enclosed generator

It is worth considering a generator in the enclosed version. Such a machine does not need a special room, because the enclosure protects it from weather conditions. At the same time, it is made in a soundproof version as a standard, so the sound emitted during its operation does not matter. Such a power generator can be placed anywhere.

 

Before making a purchase, we always suggest a detailed analysis of the space in which the power generator is to be placed. This will allow you to use new equipment with satisfaction and comfort. We are aware that it is not easy to think through all important aspects on your own, so we encourage you to contact our technical sales consultants. Their knowledge and experience will help you make the best choice.
