How to Choose the Right Generator for Your Business in the Philippines

How to Choose the Right Generator for Your Business in the Philippines

In today’s competitive environment, uninterrupted power is essential for continuous business operations across the Philippines. Power outages, typhoons, and emergencies can severely disrupt workflows, leading to significant financial losses. Choosing the right generator for your business needs isn’t just an expense; it’s a strategic investment in resilience.

To select the perfect commercial generator set for your needs, you must do the following:

First, assess your power needs accurately by conducting a thorough site audit with your engineer to determine your total electrical load. Include all vital equipment, machinery, and critical systems to identify the appropriate generator capacity. Also ensure you are aware of your specific voltage phase requirements (single or three phase) along with other parameters. This crucial step ensures you get a solution that truly meets your industrial generator selection requirements, preventing under or over-sizing.

As an example, understanding generator capacities can help visualize their impact: 

A 5KVA diesel generator can typically provide essential power for a small household, allowing you to run lights, fans, a refrigerator, and perhaps one 1.5 HP air conditioner along with other basic appliances during an outage. Moving up, a 150 to 250KVA generator can effectively power a medium-sized commercial establishment, such as a boutique hotel, a branch of a retail bank, or a mid-sized office building with multiple workstations, lighting, and centralized air conditioning

For larger-scale operations, a 1000KVA unit is enough to energize a significant facility, including a large business process outsourcing (BPO) operation with hundreds of workstations, a sizable shopping mall wing, or a mid-level hospital ensuring critical life support and operational continuity. Finally, a 2000KVA generator represents substantial power, capable of supporting extensive infrastructure like a major manufacturing plant, a large high-rise commercial tower, or a critical data center facility, safeguarding their vast energy demands.

Next, align with your industry’s demands as different sectors have unique demands. Whether you operate a retail store, hospital, a sprawling manufacturing plant, or a bustling BPO, selecting a generator tailored to your industry guarantees optimal performance and specialized features catering to your operational specifics. Also consider fuel efficiency and runtime to select commercial generator models offering efficient fuel consumption and extended runtime capabilities. This helps manage expenses during prolonged power interruptions.

If you are operating in a home, restaurant, small commercial space, marine base or any structure needing an external generator, a weatherproof type generator may be needed.

If you are operating in a construction site or mobile stations such as broadcasting, a mobile generator may be needed.

If your project has generators designed in mind, such as in a mall, office, or residential building, an open-type generator set may be ideal.

Once you have identified your desired generator type, it is then important to select a reputable generator company which also provides world-class after-sales maintenance and repair services. Buying a generator is like buying a car; the company you buy it from must also be able to service it when the need arises. It is preferable to select a company that has decades of experience and is known for its excellent project history.

Beware of fake generators, which are often sold by unregistered merchant traders. Ensure that the company you are working with is a genuine supplier of original equipment, and that they have their complete set of documents. Only work with the best generator companies.
