LPG Generators

LPG-powered standby generators are ideal for properties already using LPG for hot water or cooking. The generator connects to your existing LPG supply – no separate diesel storage. LPG burns cleaner than diesel and doesn’t degrade in storage the way diesel can.

Diesel Generators

Diesel generators are robust and widely used for larger backup power requirements. They require a fuel tank on-site. We can install and connect diesel generators and advise on suitable tank sizing for your usage.

Portable vs Standby

Portable generators provide temporary backup power and are started manually. Standby generators are permanently installed and can start automatically when the grid fails. We install permanent standby units – properly connected, safely positioned and wired through a transfer switch.

Generator Sizing

The right generator size depends on what you want to run during an outage. We calculate your load requirements and recommend a suitable kVA rating – not too small that it can’t cope, not oversized and wasting fuel.

We install home backup generators across Gold Coast, Southern Brisbane, Logan, Scenic Rim and Tweed Heads. We’re particularly experienced with hinterland and rural properties where storm outages are most common. Call us to confirm coverage for your area.

Licensing

Generator installation involves both gas work (for LPG units) and electrical work. In Queensland, both are licensed trades. We hold a QBCC licence 15273578 as a licensed gas fitter for all gas connections and LPG generator installations.

Transfer Switch

A correctly installed transfer switch is essential for safety. Without one, a generator can backfeed power onto the grid while utility workers think the line is dead. We don’t connect generators without appropriate isolation – this is non-negotiable.

Placement and Ventilation

Generators must be positioned with adequate clearance from buildings and ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide buildup. We follow manufacturer specifications and Queensland regulations for placement.

Servicing

Generators need regular servicing to ensure they’ll start when you need them. We recommend an annual service including oil and filter change, spark plug check, load test and battery inspection. A generator that hasn’t been run or serviced can fail at exactly the wrong moment.

LPG Connection

For LPG generators, we’re uniquely placed to handle both the generator installation and your ongoing LPG delivery. You can book both through No Hassle Homes – one tradesperson, one call.

Payment

We accept payment by card, bank transfer or cash as well as buy now pay later options. No hidden fees – the price you’re quoted is what you pay.
