Understanding Your Power Needs

What's the Difference Between 10kW and 10kVA?

Simple answer – kW measures actual output, while kVA is more about capacity. For most home and business uses, 10kW and 10kVA generators are considered much the same.

Sizing a Generator for Your Home or Business

A 10kW generator can comfortably power essential home appliances, lights, and even small air cons. For business, it covers tools, fridges, or office essentials without fuss.

Understanding Fuel Types (Petrol vs. Diesel)

Petrol generators are usually lighter and cheaper upfront. Diesel units, on the other hand, are tougher, more fuel-efficient, and ideal for longer run times.

10KW Generator FAQs

What size generator do I need for 10kW of power?

A 10kW generator suits most households during an outage, a large shed, or a busy worksite running multiple tools at once. As a rough guide, 10kW handles a fridge, lights, a few power tools, and an air con simultaneously. If you're running heavier three-phase gear or a large cold room, you'll want to step up to 15kVA or 20kVA. True Gear stocks generators from 8.5kVA right up to 20kVA, so there's a size for every situation.

How much does a 10kW generator cost in Australia?

Prices vary depending on the type and brand. Inverter generators in the 10-11kVA range typically sit between $2,500 and $4,000. Open-frame conventional generators at similar outputs can be slightly cheaper, while Honda-powered units command a premium for their reliability. True Gear stocks Welling and Crossley, Westinghouse, and Gentech generators across this range, often with sale pricing that undercuts the RRP significantly.

What's the difference between a diesel and petrol 10kW generator?

Diesel generators run more efficiently under sustained heavy loads and use less fuel over time, making them better for extended worksites or backup power that runs for days. Petrol generators are cheaper upfront, easier to start in cold weather, and more widely serviced around Australia. For most tradies and campers who run the genny a few hours at a time, a petrol unit is the smarter buy. True Gear's 10kW range is petrol-powered, with inverter options that are quieter and safer for sensitive electronics.

What brands of 10kW generators does True Gear stock?

True Gear stocks Welling and Crossley, Westinghouse, and Gentech generators in the 10kW class. Welling and Crossley inverter models are popular for their quiet operation and clean power output. Gentech units are Honda-powered, which means rock-solid reliability for demanding worksites. Westinghouse rounds out the range with solid portable options at competitive price points.

Can I use a 10kW generator to run my whole house during a blackout?

Yes, a 10kW generator can handle most of a typical Australian home during a power outage - fridge, freezer, lights, TV, phone charging, and a split-system air con. You'll want to avoid running the electric oven and hot water system at the same time, or you'll need to manage your load carefully. For a larger home or one with ducted air con, a 13-15kVA unit gives you more headroom. Check the wattage of your major appliances before buying and add a buffer of around 20 per cent for startup surge.
