Customers regularly compare a Pramac quote to a cheaper online listing of an identically-spec'd generator and ask the obvious question: why is yours nearly twice the price? The honest answer is that very few of those 'identical' units are actually built the same way.
Understand the difference between kVA and kW the easiest possible way — with a pint of beer and its foam. The single most useful concept when sizing a generator.
The full chain — fuel to engine to alternator to electricity — explained without the marketing fluff. Once you understand this, every component on a spec sheet makes sense.
Above 8 kVA, diesel wins almost every battle. Below that, petrol is fine. Here's why — fuel stability, fire risk, service life, and the real-world differences.
A simple 6-question framework that gets you to the right generator without overspending. Run, surge, fuel, duty, location, future-proofing.
A standby generator that has only ever run unloaded is a generator that may fail in an outage. Load-bank testing is the only way to prove it.
It's not about service life. It's about whether the unit starts on the day you actually need it. Monthly tests + scheduled servicing — what and why.
