Same-basis comparison for a natural gas generator for home
Quotes come from factories. Natural Gas Generator Sourcing only restates them on one ledger. A natural gas generator for home brief usually adds enclosure material, noise statement with distance, fuel-pressure assumption, and a listing edition such as UL 2200. Those extras change cost. If enclosure, noise limit or listing scope differs, the gap is a scope gap, not a market-discount figure. We have no same-basis price_comparisons file on this site, so we do not publish a percentage.
Comparable
- Stated kW on the natural-gas column, with standby versus prime named
- Voltage, phase, frequency and amperes at that voltage
- Enclosure material, finish and whether the price is for an open set
- Noise figure with distance and load condition, if a limit was requested
- Quantity, packaging basis and requested delivery terms
- Listing standard and edition named on the same model number
Not comparable
- Unstated ambient or fuel-pressure conditions for the kW rating
- Different enclosure, wind kit or aluminium versus steel scope
- Transfer switch included versus assumed to be the buyer’s
- kVA labeled as kW without a power factor basis
- Any market price percentage claim without this site's quote evidence
- A series certificate used as if it covered the offered construction
When the specification moves, re-quote the changed lines
If the buyer later changes fuel from natural gas to LP vapor, raises kW, switches from single-phase to three-phase, or adds a quieter enclosure, the first numbers no longer sit on one basis. We ask each factory to restate only the changed lines rather than treating a leftover price as still valid. Controller model, start-up documents and spare lists belong in the scope-of-supply paragraph; omitting them does not make the remaining figure a lower total purchase cost.
Manufacturer family pages often publish kW steps and fuel versions without amperes per voltage or a noise figure. Those missing lines sit on a separate specification sheet, which is the document we ask for. Third-party product pages are rating maps only. They are not our stock, our listing, or a factory appointment. Read option forms and the standby comparison note.
