FAQs
What is an inverter generator?
An inverter generator is a modern generator that produces clean, stable pure sinewave power, making it safe for sensitive electronics such as laptops, TVs, phones, coffee machines, battery chargers, and power tools.
Inverter technology automatically adjusts voltage and frequency to deliver efficient, reliable power while reducing fuel consumption and noise.
Inverter generators are commonly used in New Zealand for powering worksites, outdoor applications, and backup power for homes and businesses.
What size inverter generator do I need for home backup or camping in NZ?
The right generator size depends on what you want to power:
- 2–3kVA → ideal for camping, caravans, and small appliances
- 3–6kVA → suitable for home essentials such as fridges, lighting, and internet
- 6–11kVA → designed for full home backup, worksites, workshops, and larger equipment
Always consider both running watts and starting watts when choosing a generator, as appliances with motors require additional power to start.
Can an inverter generator run a fridge or heat pump during a power outage?
Yes. Most inverter generators can run fridges and freezers, while larger models can run heat pumps and other appliances.
Inverter generators with higher surge capacity are recommended for compressor-based equipment.
Why choose an inverter generator over a conventional generator?
Inverter generators are quieter, more fuel-efficient, and safer for modern electronics than conventional generators.
They adjust engine speed based on power demand, reducing fuel consumption, noise and engine wear.
What is the best inverter generator for camping and caravans in NZ?
The best inverter generator for camping or caravans is typically:
- Lightweight and portable
- Quiet (low noise output)
- Fuel-efficient
- Around 2–3kVA capacity minimum
This size is ideal for running camping appliances such as small fridges, lights, chargers, and small cooking equipment.
Brands like Honda and Titan Envirogen are popular in NZ for their reliability, performance, and quiet operation.
Can I use a generator indoors?
No, it's not recommended to use a generator indoors. Generators produce carbon monoxide, a deadly gas that can build up quickly in enclosed spaces. Using a generator indoors can also lead to a build-up of toxic fumes and particles. Always use a generator outdoors, away from windows and doors, and in a well-ventilated area. It's also important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and to take necessary safety precautions when using a generator.
Are inverter generators suitable for home backup power in New Zealand?
Yes. Inverter generators are an ideal backup power solution for homes in New Zealand, as they provide clean, stable power for essential appliances, lighting and Wi-Fi internet systems during outages.
