Frequently Asked Questions

Read the FAQ that customers are always asking our technicians at PowerUp Jamaica.

Why is a residential generator important for homeowners in Jamaica?

Residential generators are crucial in Jamaica due to high utility rates, significant reliance on imported fossil fuels, and persistent grid inefficiencies. Additionally, the island’s annual susceptibility to hurricanes makes backup power essential for maintaining basic functions, preventing economic losses like food spoilage, and ensuring the operation of critical medical devices during power outages.

What types of residential generators are available in Jamaica

The Jamaican market offers a variety of residential generators, including portable units (fueled by gasoline or diesel) and permanently installed standby units (often running on diesel or Liquefied Petroleum Gas, LPG). There are also more modern options like solar generators and emerging hydrogen fuel cell technologies available.

What are the key safety guidelines for operating a residential generator in Jamaica?

For safety, generators must never be used indoors or in partially enclosed spaces due to the risk of deadly carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning; they should always be placed outdoors in well-ventilated areas. It’s crucial to connect standby generators with an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) to prevent dangerous “back-feeding” into the utility grid, and always turn off the generator and allow it to cool completely before refueling.

Are there challenges with generator parts and repairs in Jamaica?

Yes, the high demand for generators in Jamaica has led to reported parts shortages and technicians working extended hours. This can result in prolonged repair times for malfunctioning units, highlighting a strain on the local supply chain and service infrastructure. PowerUp Jamaica has a large inventory of parts for the units that we sell, so rest assured you wont have anything to worry about, and our customers are are top priority when it comes to after sales repairs and servicing.

What are the advantages of using LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) generators in Jamaica?

LPG generators offer several benefits, including lower operational costs compared to petrol or diesel, extended running times (a 14kW unit can run for over 38 hours on twin 19kg cylinders), cleaner, soot-free emissions with no smoke or smell, and convenient availability as they can connect to existing LPG lines or have cylinders delivered. Additionally, LPG does not deteriorate in storage like ethanol-based petrol, and LPG generators experience less wear and tear, contributing to higher durability and lower repair costs.

Why is an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) important for a standby generator in Jamaica?

An Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) is crucial for standby generators because it automatically detects power outages, disconnects your home from the utility grid, and starts the generator, ensuring a seamless and uninterrupted power supply. Most importantly, an ATS prevents “back-feeding” electricity into the utility grid, which is a deadly hazard for utility workers. A qualified, licensed electrician is required to install an ATS to ensure proper and safe integration.
