There are four types of diesel generator to choose from; silenced enclosed or open style, 3000 RPM and 1500RPM. The best option is a silenced 1500RPM unit, however, a 3000RPM unit can offer a cost-effective alternative. The largest contributing factor is whether the generator will be used as the primary source of power or for emergency back up in the event of a power outage.

This depends on the brand of generator, engine speed, conditions and manufacturer's guidelines. It is important that these guidelines are followed at all times including oil change intervals with service records. These records will be needed in the event of a warranty claim and also enhance re sale value of your unit.  We are distributors for all major brands with technicians on hand for advice visit: https://www.genelite.com.au/service-and-repairs/
