Forecasts for this spring are for strong storms coming out of an El Nino winter, with a continued threat of storms through the summer. High wind, heavy rain, and lightning can all combine to create power outages that may last hours or days. A generator means protecting your family and your business when power is interrupted.
From powering basic necessities to keeping a business online, generators provide the peace of mind you need in an emergency. Generators are available in large commercial sizes, as standby units that power on automatically, and in smaller portable sizes that can power just the things you need to keep your family comfortable.
Consider the following reasons why you may want to have a generator:
- Keep a large or small business operating
- Power your home office
- You or a family member relies on lifesaving medical equipment
- You have a water well and/or a sump pump
- Power an electric car charging station
Choosing a generator – what you need to know
Home generators range from small portable units that power just a few items to whole house backup units that automatically kick on if power is interrupted. The right generator for you depends on your family and lifestyle. If power outages in your area are frequent and sustained, if you rely on a sump pump to protect your home and a water well to serve your family, or if a family member uses electric powered medical equipment, a larger standby generator may be best. Standby generators are typically connected to a gas line while portable units will run on propane. Your access to fuel during an emergency should be a consideration when choosing a generator.
Commercial and industrial operations will usually need a fully installed generator to maintain operation of machinery, to maintain computer access, and to keep security and emergency lights running. These will usually run on natural gas and turn on automatically so that power is never cut to sensitive equipment and emergency services.
