Generator in Lahore

[pwuser149668944896]

Hey everyone
Hope you're all enjoying ramadan.

I have a quick question for all the pros here in Lahore It'd really help me.

So I want to run 3 inverter AC's, (2ton x 2) and 1.5 ton x 1. 3 in total, along with microwave, 5 fans, 10 energy savers, 2 refrigerators and a tv.

Can you please tell me where I can get a good quality generator from? I guess Kohler is out of the question since its power output wont be enough for the 3 acs and stuff.

All these people (im new in pakistan) they have generators that run the whole house, are they local desi assembled generators with toyota engines or are they branded ones? I know my neighbors all have generators and they seem to run the whole house on them.

Could you please tell me what would be my best bet ? local desi generator, how do i get it made and from where.. Also how much would it approximately cost, and do these generators have a lot of maintenance except for oil changes?

Would really appreciate your feedback as it will help a lot of other people too who are looking to power up their house... thanks guys..

You at least need a 25kva Generator to run it all smoothly. How much are you willing to spend? There are solutions available in the market starting from 2 lakh upto 10 lakh. Of course 2 lakh would get you running for a couple of months before you start keep calling the technician again and again. You will find a decent solution around 4-6 lakh and quite reliable one in 8-10. I have done extensive research on it so I can guide you if you spill out your budget.
On a side note which ACs are you using? Could you please share the technical specs sticker posted on your 2 and 1.5 ton ACs? It would probably on the outdoor but in some ACs it's on the indoor. I was also looking to buy a 2 ton AC so wondering about it's power consumption and cooling capacity.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

Im using gree 2 ton ac x 2... wattage is around 7060 watts each.
gree 1.5ton wattage is 5030 ..
thats 3 acs...
along with microwave, tc, 2 refrigerators dawlance...

My budget is around 5 - 6 lacs for a reliable and long lasting solution. I'd really appreciate if you guide me... I have seen people using pakistani generators made of toyota enginers, and if its correctly made i dont think theres much problems later on? what do you think? also do you know where I could get one made in Lahore by a professional? and what brands would you suggest for such power consumption. I'm open to lpg use because sui gas in dha lahore isnt really good.. its doable but in case its not then lpg is okay.

Although I myself run a Gas/LNG generator but I'd recommend you to stay away from it. They are mostly high maintenance and sensitive to slightest changes in air/gas mixture and pressure. You'd have to be very techy to handle it or you'd be paying more to the technician than the generator is actually worth. Although they are cheap. You could get a 25-30kva gas/lpg/petrol generator for around 3 lakh.
However, I'd recommend a diesel generator for peace of mind and stable running and even in that Perkins UK is the way to go which would cost you around 8-9 lacs. There is Perkins China which would cost around 6-7 lacs which is equally good too. I have tried that and it's good.
There's another option where you can get diesel generator made with a brand new Millat tractor engine. I haven't tried it but it could be reliable because everything is brand new but just assembled in Pakistan. That would cost you around 4-5 lacs.
Don't every go for 2-4 lacs cheap Diesel generator from Brandreth Road. They simply don't work.
Let me know which one you want to go for and I'll text you relevant information. Plus do some homework and visit a few places and make some calls and even search Olx.
