Re: Help w/generator noise

To go along with all the other genny threads we have in here...

I have 1 of those inexpensive chinese gensets.


I own the houses on either side of me as investment property.

This last bout of power issues with Irene got me thinking about something to power all three if another power failure should occur (which is most likely) . . . .

In the past, I have worked with generators in ship board installations and favored the Kohler solutions over the competition, so I started looking their.

I narrowed the choices down to a 20 KW industrial diesel which produces 68 decibels at 7 ft. I believe that should do the trick but I'll have to question the engineers first to determine if it's the correct choice.

I've always been impressed with Kohler stationary sets. They are definitely a step up in quality.
On the other hand, I used to have their old 4.5 kW air cooled units on 2 trucks for hydraulics / generator. They sucked dirty butt. Those things blew through control boards like they were going out of style.
