lpg generators manufacturers and suppliers

factors to consider when purchasing an LPG generator

Don’t let rain, snow, or wind keep you in the dark. Consider These Factors with the Help of a Knowledgeable MATCHUP LPG generator suppliers consider these features to ensure you buy the best LPG generator.

purpose and capacity

The first factor to consider is the purpose of buying the generator. Are you purchasing it for residential, commercial or industrial use? Each category has its own power needs.

1. Residential: Home-based usage usually requires less power, but make sure to consider all appliances that need to be powered during an outage.
2. Commercial: Businesses may have higher energy needs, particularly if they have specific equipment that must remain operational at all times.
3. Industrial: Industrial settings often demand high power outputs. Bear in mind the machines and systems that cannot afford interruption.

Power Output

Related to the purpose of the generator is its power output. Generators are rated in watts, so you should identify the total wattage of the appliances or machinery you wish to power, then select a generator with a corresponding power output.

generator size

Physical size and power output often go hand in hand with generators. Consider where you will store the generator to make sure it will fit.

price and budget

Budget is a crucial decision-making factor. While you don’t want to overspend, remember that a higher upfront cost often means better quality and longer lifespan.

fuel efficiency and running cost

Compare fuel consumption rates under similar loads for different generators. More efficient models will have lower long-term operating costs.

noise level

Noise can be a significant issue for generators. Look at the decibel levels of generators if silence is an important factor for you.

portability and installation

Standby generators are typically larger and require professional installation. Portable models give you more flexibility and are better suited to occasional use or for outdoor activities.

durability

Check reviews and product descriptions to gauge the durability of the generator. More durable generators have sturdier parts, better manufacturing, and are designed to withstand prolonged use.

additional features

Look out for features that provide extra convenience or safety:

automatic voltage regulation (AVR)

Ensures the output remains steady, important for devices sensitive to voltage swings.

electric start

Some portable models offer this push-button alternative that eliminates the need to pull the engine. Consider the added cost (about $50) if batteries are not included.

low oil shutdown

If the oil drops below the minimum level, the generator will shut down to prevent engine damage. Usually a standard feature on stationary generators, it is increasingly common on portable generators.

Auto-transfer switch

When the power goes off, the LPG generator keeps running—without your effort. This is great if you travel or work far from home and can’t always get there quickly in an emergency.

covered outlets

Protect the plugs from dust and moisture.

fuel gauge

Especially during an extended outage, you might appreciate the ability to see at a glance how much LPG is left in your generator.

remote monitoring:

Enables controlling the generator remotely, providing convenience and safety.

multiple outlets

Four or more will allow you to make the best use of the wattage by spreading the load, but we recommend using them only when you’re at home in an extreme pinch or out and about, such as at a campsite.

detachable console

This connects to the generator so you can plug in the unit without running a potentially risky extension cord outdoors.

Auto shut off carbon monoxide

This critical safety feature automatically shuts down the generator’s engine if the built-in CO sensor detects lethal gas at a certain level. LPG generators must have this feature and must pass CR’s safety tests.
