How To Choose The Right Power Generator For Your Home

It's fairly common to have blackouts/ brownouts here in the Philippines. That is why I get asked a lot about choosing the right generator for the home - the answer is not as complicated as it seems. I also talked about the generator we chose for the skypod and what we did to make it automatic! Special thanks to Kryzzzie for guesting (again!) 😂

I like how slater explains everything...maintindihan mo talaga kasi detalyado at he talks in layman's terms....

[@RandomKindness]

Went straight away to Lazada and purchased a Greenfield product. That's how quick Kuya Slater's endorsement has an effect on a viewer. More SPONSORS to come Kuya! Road to 600k na po kayo! Kami naman road to 1k! Yehey!

[@GhostedStories]

This is totally helpful to me who have no idea how to pick the right one for us. We're definitely going to try Greenfield. Thanks, Slater!

[@dackydok]

I think this needs a part2... something to explain how to choose the power capacity requirement as imdicated on the electric bill... or explaining it as to how much a generator can power in terms of appliance use in a span of time. It might be more of a lecture side... but i'm really interested.

[@elisesworld2398]

Quality content! This is really what I needed since madalas talaga mag brownout dito samin. With the details you provided it is so much easier to understand pa. Thank you so much!

[@jewelludovice7393]

It’s so nice to see that kryz is so game whenever whatever 😂 sya yung maarte type pero super supportive 😍

[@medelenepolestico9924]

I love how this channel answers all of my why's in building our own crib. Please add a content about roofing. Thanks! I'll check the other content kasi baka meron na.

Blackout vs Brownout A blackout is a complete interruption of power in a given service area. Rolling blackouts are controlled and usually preplanned interruptions of service. A brownout is a partial, temporary reduction in system voltage or total system capacity. But in the Philippines, everything is "brownout".

[@FrozenHaxor]

@australianpatriot4090 Maybe it's a shit country so you see brown everywhere.

[@janssenfranco9284]

As a young adult this is helpful, I learned a lot from you sir 😊. Thanks po.

[@btmaria]

My father uses a truck's battery and pairs it with an inverter to produce electricity for our home during brownouts. It's cheaper, doesn't use diesel/gasoline, quiet, and we can just recharge it at home as soon as the electricity comes back. Though it is only used for very small loads it can definitely last especially during storm season in Samar.

[@seanrasos2248]

maybe you have a small house or only use the lights during brownouts that's why a "truck battery" can handle it probably

[@btmaria]

@@seanrasos2248 my parents live in a two-story house. But my father limits the use only to an e-fan, some lights, and charging phones. They live in Samar and power outages are pretty normal. And during typhoon season, power outages last for at least 2-3 days and the battery delivers.

[@mr.ambungan3865]

It depends upon the load requirements.. Obviously, Slater wants to have a back up power supply that can power all the appliances and ACUs of the entire house continuously for more than 2 weeks.. Your 2 truck batteries simply cannot do the job he is requiring..

[@kevinchavez1000]

@@mr.ambungan3865 chill...He never said it would. He simply shared what they used in Samar. His proud of the resourcefulness of his father...

[@btmaria]

@@mr.ambungan3865 Chill man. I was just sharing what my father did. I never claimed that what my father did can compensate for the load requirements that Slater's home requires.

[@mjr819]

Super helpful talaga ang channel na ito when it comes to things to buy or do's and don'ts for home.....thanks slater....at least my reference na ako for my future home....

[@marcmac8944]

This has been a very informative video with a wealth of information. Will eventually be moving to the Philippines. So thank you for taking the time to share. That automatic switchover is a game changer. Never would have thought of that if I would not have watched your video.

[@joannadiaz6856]

Thank you Slater for giving us tips before we will replace our old gen set. 👍🏻

[@DebbieMariz]

The Kryz cameo at the end though 😂 this is a wise investment, especially if you live VisMin where power interruptions are normal.

[@marielleramirez6187]

You bring such great content sa KZbin community sir Slater! YT will never be the same without you ever again 😎

[@ldrobles9369]

Thank you Kuya Slater for this! And for featuring the dental drill too! 💜 Useful for me since I’m a dentistry student and online lang po yung clinics namin. We work from home with supervision of our clinical instructors through video meetings. Pag brownout tigil po talaga lahat kasi wala nang internet, wala pang power to run the compressor para gumana yung handpiece. Huhu. 🥺 Will consider you key points po in choosing a generator that can carry all the load needed to run the home clinic. Thank you sooooo so much po, Kuya! More power SKYfam! 🥰🙏🏻

[@MrEhmhorej]

OMG! Just thinking if you have videos for this kind of stuff! You are really genius slater! Thanks for this! 😁

[@cutiepatotieme840]

Very Good thing na feature ni sir slater ung ATS is we don't want to turn the generator on Immediately for at least 10 seconds because sometimes electricity will just flicker and it might damage the generator motor by simply turning on and off. Also Guys, Please get the Inverter one lalo na if we are using WFH kinds of stuff! Quality Info Rating 10/10 Kudos to you mah dudes and keep doing very helpful Vlogs.

[@tien0916]

[@aloysuisarqueza4852]

Diesel generator is a good choice for maintenace and efficiency wise. Nowadays home battery system requires a large space to hold a large energy capacity than a home generator. Very informative, Good Job!

[@poiqweee]

Not the new Tesla panel batteries that lie parallel to the wall.

[@xiangaza7830]

Nice, salamat at may mga tulad mo na totoo sa reviews. Mapapabili ka talaga nyan

Punchlist na kami next week sa aming house and lot unit. Mukhang mabubudol mo ako ng generator for my AC and workstation Added to wishlist na. Hehe

[@francispua9803]

This is so cool, a generator no black out anymore. Dapat lang Kryzzie should know how to operate a generator. Also do you have solar panels up on the rooftop Slater. I love these kinds of videos. Thank you take care.

[@dongdongTVofficial]

that content is too useful thank you now we know how to pick the right one for use

[@santidotph1393]

Thank You po sa bagong knowledge. Uso po ngayon yung Solar generator. Sana magkaron din kayo ng review about dun Sir Slater

I've been waiting for this video. Thank you so much for covering this. One thing that I am curious about is whether or not having an uninterrupted power supply, such as a power bank, can prevent internet loss during black/brown outs, or is losing internet in Cebu unavoidable? Thanks, again.

agree. Atlas Copco is very reliable and best aftersale support 👍🏻

Great video. Do you think technology will advance to the point where the inverter type will have an ATS function? I would prefer not to have to go out and start the inverter each time. Thanks again for your very informative videos.

[@rockyroger8905]

maganda talaga ats generator,,,,😊😊

[@michaelnabus9126]

Hello sir Slater, nice content! Is it possible to request for your future vlogs about "How to connect or tap the generator set to main panel board"? the same unit po na gmit nyo, the diesel type pra po if ever nsa construction phase plng po ang house ano po icoconsider ng electrician for future requirement or may additional slot po ba na need sa panel board?sana po manotice. mrming slmat po! more educational and informative contents =)

[@johnmarkgonzales8791]

Typically, the live wires after the meter comes into a MCB then goes to your Panel Board's MCB to distribute. ATS has 3 terminals, Utility Power side (for your Meralco), Generator side and Load side. Just for a very quick and short guide: Remove that incomer live cables from your Panel Board and connect it to the ATS Utility Power side. Connect your genset power cable to the Generator side. Then the cable from the Load side of your ATS will now go to your Panel Board's MCB. You'll need to have a control cable, typically a 2.5mm2 5-core cable for your float battery charger AC supply and a Remote Start signal in your genset. Just leave an open space beside your Panel Board for the ATS installation. Try to visit Powercity Corporation and look for my mom, Aileen Gonzales, for Generator and ATS sales. Thank you very much mate!
