Gentech Generators FAQs

What Gentech generators does True Gear stock?

True Gear stocks a range of Gentech generators from 2.8kVA up to 20kVA, all Honda-powered. The lineup includes open-frame petrol models with electric start, suitable for worksites, camping, and backup power. Current stock runs from around $1,000 for a compact 2.8kVA unit up to $8,500 for a heavy-duty 20kVA generator.

Are Gentech generators any good?

Gentech has a solid reputation in Australia, particularly because their generators run Honda engines - the GX200, GX390, and V-Twin GX690 depending on the model. Honda engines are known for reliability and long service life, which is why tradies and farmers trust them for serious work. Gentech pairs that with robust frames and commercial-grade alternators.

What size Gentech generator do I need?

It depends on what you're running. A 2.8-3.4kVA unit handles lights, a fridge, and small power tools - fine for camping or a basic backup. Jump to 7-8kVA and you can run multiple tools on a worksite or power a decent-sized home. If you're running air compressors, welders, or large machinery, look at the 9.5kVA-20kVA range. A good rule of thumb: add up the starting watts of everything you'll run at once, then add 20% headroom.

What's the difference between a Gentech generator and an inverter generator?

Gentech's range at True Gear are conventional open-frame generators - they produce AC power directly and are built for raw output and durability on worksites or properties. Inverter generators produce cleaner power (safer for sensitive electronics) and are quieter and more fuel-efficient at lower loads, but typically cost more per kVA. If you need to run laptops, TVs, or phone chargers alongside tools, an inverter is worth considering. For pure worksite grunt or backup power, a conventional Gentech generator is hard to beat for value.

Do Gentech generators come with a warranty in Australia?

Yes. Gentech generators sold through authorised Australian dealers like True Gear come with a manufacturer warranty. The Honda engines also carry Honda's own engine warranty. Always buy from an authorised dealer to make sure your warranty is valid and you have local support if anything needs attention.
