Certainly knows his trade! Very likeable and got on with the job with no time wasting. Will definitely use Thabu again and also recommend him to neighbours and friends!
He worked well. Explained everything to me and why certain things need to be done a certain way. He is very friendly. He followed up afterwords to see if everything was in working order. I felt straight away that he is trustworthy. Give him a call.
Marps managed to give me a service beyond what i required. Everything was done on time and we did not have to wait for long to resume our normal daily life. He suggests better ideas and execute them well.

He was excellent and even offered to do more than had been asked. It was quite a difficult job and he had to buy some parts halfway through to complete everything. I would recommend Owen and his assistant.
Generators have become popular in South Africa for people who need to have uninterrupted power when there is a power failure or load shedding.
To ensure that the generator installation does not pose a risk to you or your family, it is essential to have it safely installed by a professional.
Generators can run on different fuel types, such as diesel, natural gas, petrol, or propane.
A backup generator is one that you have to turn on manually when there is a power outage whereas a standby generator is one that will automatically switch on when a power failure is detected.
The generator can be installed to power only certain parts of the house, or certain devices or to power the entire home. This will affect the size and type of generator you need.
Maintaining your generator
Once your generator is installed, regular maintenance is crucial to ensure it will be there for you when you need it.
Consider scheduling an annual generator oil service, or for every 50-200 hours of operation.
Clean out all unused fuel from your generator when you turn it off, including in the fuel lines.
Store the generator in a cool dry place to prevent rusting and purchase a generator tent, cover or shed to protect your portable generator from the elements.

Hi, I need to have someone look at our DB board and wiring. Some plugs need to be looked at as currently making electrical noises

I have a 9kva Petrol Generator that is giving me a Low Frequency Error alert and cutting off a few seconds after I switch it on.

Hi,
I have an old diesel generator (over 11 years) that I have never used. I need to know if it can still be repaired and restored.
Thanks

Generator is Gentech Power 2kVA Digital Pure Sine Wave Inverter Generator (Recoil) Blue. Leaks fuel each time it is started then stops running.
in North Riding, Randburg
I am talking about a Firman SPG 6500 2e Generator (about 8 KVA) bought from Obaro when I lived in Marble Hall about 9 years ago. It was used only occasionally but lately more often during load shedding. Yesterday the generator was running only a few minutes after starting, and suddenly it made a hard “crashing” sound like metal breaking and black “smoke” appeared. It immediately stopped working. It seems to me that that the breakage happened in the petrol engine, rather than in the electricity generating part of it. I would actually like to know whether spare parts are at all available for those engines. It might even need a complete new engine? Are those engines at all available if replacement is necessary? And if so, is the cost worth while compared to buying a complete new generator? Do you do repairs on these type of generators? If so can I bring it somewhere to be examined and to determine the damage?
Thank you for your attention to my enquiry.
