Don't complain - suggest what's better
I'm looking to buy a new generator. I made a mistake when I bought the current one. It is a Stephill 10kva petrol. There are two issues, firstly it is petrol, so I have to carry separate fuel for it which is a pain and more importantantly it only has a normal silencer and is deafening. We have to where ear defenders the whole time it is running.
These Hyundai silenced diesel generators look okay on paper (https://www.generators-direct.co.uk...hyundai-dhy8000selr-diesel-generator-long-run). Does anyone have any experience of them? Also is 70 db at 7m quiet? Is see some do 65 which is a lot quieter, but they are a lot more money.
On a side note I am considering having a switch installed at home so I could connect the house up if we had power cuts. I want to work out if this will be big enough. I can look at big appliances like the washing machine to see what power it uses, but is there a rule of thumb to cover things like lighting, pump for the central heating etc? Any idea?
Thanks
