Dang, hindi na pala pwedeng i edit yung old posts.
Anyway, in relation to my post above, i'd like to add the following info:
1) I am from Paranaque area, Metro Manila
2) I will be using the genset only pag nag blackout sa pinas due to typhoon/etc. (For the past years, this averages around 1x to 2x blackouts a year and the length of blackout is around 1day to 3days)
3) I am still unsure if I should go diesel or gas but since I will only be using this for 1 to 2 times a year, then let's not factor in the savings I will get from using diesel fuel cost. Mostly choosing diesel vs gas is for safety purposes only.
Some questions: (sorry madami akong tanong kasi im just learning about this today)
1) With my requirements stated above and sa previous post ko, should I go gas or diesel? branded or china? Para kasing nanghihinayang ako bumili ng Honda kung gagamitin ko lang ng 1 to 2x a year.
2) If I get gas, I plan to run the generator once a month for 10minutes so that soot will not take place sa carburator (is this enough?).
3) Pag nagka soot na yung carburator and hindi na mag start yung generator. How will you fix this? Kelangan padala na sa repair shop or may madaling solution lang?
4) If i buy a diesel generator, I don't need to let it run once/twice/etc a month since wala naman syang carburator? Is this right? Pwede bang patakbuhin yung generator pag nag blackout nalang like 2x a year or kelangan pa din patakbuhin sya on a monthly/weekly basis?
5) Is it ok not to store gas at home and just to buy it sa gas station pag nag blackout na? This will solve the disadvantage ng gas generators na "dangerous to store gas as it is highly flammable". May malapit naman na gas station sa amin na may generator.
6) How dangerous are gas generators ba realistically? Pwede ba etong sumabog and sunugin yung bahay? Like if we leave it on for the night and matulog na kami? Kelangan may nagbabantay ba palagi?
7) I've read sa forums na ok na din daw yung China generators pero mostly this applies to the big ones (over 10kva or P100T+) and not the portable ones for home use (1kva to 7kva generators).
8) If ok na din yung China portable generators, can you list the top3 China generator available dito sa Pinas. Hopefully yung madaming pyesa para pag nasira, no problem ipaayos.
9) Meron ba kayong alam na ok na store sa south area (paranaque/las pinas/alabang/etc) that sells Branded or China generators na ka presyo lang ng Quiapo/Raon/Etc? (or near their price) Malayo daw kasi talaga presyo sa malls right?
Target ko kasi for the generator to last at least 10 years with minimal maintenance and minimal risk safety wise. (with the least cost). Tingin ko minimum watts that I need is 5500watts. The more, the better pero I don't want to get to the 10kva area since malaki na ang price jump neto.
