We have a problem getting enough electric to run our air con in a small village on Hvar and are looking at buying a generator for the job. Air con would probably be 3.5 kw.
Any advice on what type of generator (a quiet one) would be appreciated.

I have a 10 kw generator for sale :-) but it's not quiet :-) and at 3.5 kw, I doubt you'll find anything "quiet"... the 1.5 kw we used for a few days was bad enough...
Good luck!

You probably won't find a quiet genny but, if you are so minded, you can make your own exhaust system from a motorcycle and hook it up. We used to do that at the race tracks where noise limitations applied. It's a bit fiddly but it does cut 75% of the din.

Hi, there are very quiet generators out there. The best ones I think are the Honda Marine Silent ones. They only put out approx 50 decibels and are often used on boats and caravans. They aren't cheap mind you. Have a look here: powerequipment.honda.com/generators/models/eu3000is |

I have seen many recommendations for the use of Honda generators on boats due to their quietness. However, being on sunny Hvar, how about solar power?
