Are Diesel Generators Suitable for a Home Use?
Ask an average home owner about a diesel generator installed in his or her garage, and they will most probably look at you with a less than enthusiasm. After all, the common knowledge is that diesel generators are noisy and smelly, and too expensive. Well, that might have been in the past…

- lightweight,
- low noise level (around 65-75 dB),
- low maintenance cost,
- high output,
- affordable price

The same goes for small business operators, wanting to ensure a continuous supply of power. But, they have another considerations, and the cost factor is not so important.

Yes, time to switch to a reliable and low-maintenance solution…
