Guide only — add up running watts for items used together, then ensure the single highest starting surge stays within generator limits.
🧩 Can I Run More at Once with 8.0 kW Running?
Yes. As power increases, you can support more simultaneous loads. For example:
- Home backup: fridge + freezer + broadband + lights + TV + microwave (stagger starts).
- Site setup: banks of LED lights + saw or mixer + charger stations.
- Events: PA system + lighting + catering kettles (manage surges).
Prioritise the highest-surge device (compressor/saw) and keep spare headroom for safe starts.

🧭 Benefits of a Dual-Fuel Generator
- Fuel flexibility — use petrol or propane based on cost/availability.
- Emergency readiness — propane stores well and burns clean.
- Extended runtime — swap fuels mid-use to keep running.
- Lower emissions — propane typically produces fewer exhaust pollutants.
🧠 Tips for Choosing the Right Generator
- Total your running watts for everything you’ll use together.
- Identify the largest starting surge (motors & compressors) and keep headroom.
- Outlet types matter — match 240V/120V & amperage (13A/16A/32A) to your kit.
- Plan for refuelling — 25 L tank + propane option extends runtime.
