Generator questions answered
What size generator do I need for a house in Accra?
A 3-bedroom house with 2 air conditioners, refrigerator, lights, and standard appliances needs a 15–20 kVA generator. Without AC, 8–12 kVA is sufficient. Always factor starting current — AC compressors draw 2–3x their running current on startup. We calculate your actual load before specifying.
What is an ATS and do I need one?
An Automatic Transfer Switch automatically connects your generator when grid power fails and reconnects to the ECG grid when supply returns — without any manual intervention. For residential use, it eliminates the need to manually start and switch over the generator during a power outage. We strongly recommend ATS for all generator installations.
Do I need a generator room in Ghana?
A generator running indoors without ventilation creates fatal carbon monoxide risk. Generators must be installed with adequate ventilation or in a properly designed external enclosure. A purpose-built generator room with acoustic lining also significantly reduces noise impact on the property and neighbours.
