Hello guys,

Please, I need your recommendation. I want to get a new generator that will power the following appliances.

1.5hp Ac
130L hisense fridge.
12 low energy bobs
2 fans.

Budget : 70-85k.

Gptech:

Your budget should be above 200k to achieve this, especially if the AC is not the inverter type.

molybdenum0012:


Okay. Without the AC, what's your recommendation?

Gptech:

I think you'll need a 2-2.5kv generator and doubt if your budget can get a good one, things are really expensive now. Would recommend Tec bobo or Tec captain.

molybdenum0012:


So this specification will carry easily all the items I mentioned except AC?

fineboynl:
no generator that can power ac comfortable currently is below 200k. outside of that ac running generator consume so much fuel.

Akell:


One, your budget is way too low.
Two, I'll recommend Elepaq Constant 150k max
TEC would have been advised but it's more expensive and report has it that the noise no be here.

space9880:
there are generators below 200k that can conveniently power AC.

fineboynl:
what are they and how much.

space9880:
tec opt 3500es 3.0kva running 3.3kva max bought for 155k in October from thermocool showroom.

fineboynl:
what kind of ac are you running it with. how many HP and is it inverter? I bet you it will kill the generator.

Hello, I want to sell my generator.. it's a year old now but rarely used. It's a FIRMAN rugged RD3910 3.1kva generator. Have never been serviced nor opened because it's rarely used. Everything still new and intact except the tank which lost colour due to sun because it's has been outside.
Location is Enugu. Price is 90k. Quote me if interested

wrong advise

molybdenum0012:
Base on advice I got here, I was thinking of getting a tech Bobo generator 2.5kva, after searching more than 10 stores, I only got it in one store for 123k or so. I decided to check more stores, but those guys told me thermool generator is not advicable 'cos their spare parts are hard to get if faulty.

How true is this?

I still wonder why most stores dont have it, like it is phasing out or something.

Gptech:

You checked the wrong stores, only check Thermocool accredited stores. I think they don't sell to any store or dealer so as to combat counterfeits. That's the problem Firman/Sumec is facing currently, so many fakes available in the Nigerian market.
Regarding spare parts, that's what you'll be told by those sellers of course so that they can sell what they have. You'll get whatever you need in thermocool repair centers, I think they are around you. Lastly, most of the parts you'll actually need are similar to what other generators use.
Modified : I would rather get the captain instead of the Bobo at such price, don't even mind spending more. My reason is just for aesthetics. They have same ratings though.
