At first I thought 500kVA was overkill for what we needed… turns out I was wrong. The generator handles everything without even sounding stressed. There was a small issue with the initial setup, but the team sorted it quicker than I expected. Respect where it’s due. I’d definitely recommend them just make sure you size properly from the start.
