Most generator decisions go wrong at specification, not at price. Here is the checklist we run through with builders, contractors and homeowners before an order goes in.
The short version
- Specify for the exposure the product actually sees, not the best case.
- Check compatibility with what your installer already uses.
- Buy the quantity the drawing calls for plus a realistic wastage allowance.
- Confirm lead time before you commit — stock position moves weekly.
