SELECT A GENERATOR TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS

Generator Types

1. Recreational Generators
Recreational generators (1,000-3,000 watts) are purposely designed to be portable. They pack enough power to get a few appliances operating, and they are perfect for camping, tailgating or small projects.

2. Emergency Generators
A power outage is no picnic. We recommend getting an emergency generator (4,000-10,000 watts) if you want an inexpensive portable generator to backup your house.

3. Job Site Generators
If you're a contractor using your generator on a daily basis, you'll need a professional grade generator (1,000-10,000 watts) designed to withstand the rigors of jobsite stress.

4. Standby Generators
Standby generators (7-40 Kilowatts) are permanently installed outside your home or business and automatically start whether you're there or not. They can run for extended periods on lp or natural gas.
 

Standby Power vs. Portable Power

Just a few years ago, the thought of owning an emergency standby generator seemed unnecessary. Now, living without electricity is all too "painful".

Many homeowners simply cannot afford to ride out another power outage. Instead, they are installing home standby generators in record numbers to protect their families and assets.

The concept is really simple. Standby generators are permanently installed outside and can be operated manually or automatically.

The systems can be connected to your natural gas line, liquid propane tank or diesel fuel tank and will generate electricity as long as fuel is supplied.

Automatic Transfer Switches - (optional)
Standby generators can be fitted with an ATS ( Automatic Transfer Switch) to monitor your utility power.
When your power goes out, the automatic transfer switch turns on the generator - whether you're home or not - and automatically shuts it off when power is restored.

Unlike portable generators, standby generators can operate automatically with no human intervention. No generators to move. No power cords to connect. No gas tanks to fill.


 

Commercial Power We’ll never forget 9/11. But, do you remember 9/12 and 9/13? Remember the eerie feeling of looking into bright blue skies and not seeing a single airplane? The terrorists didn’t just bring down a few passenger planes. They bankrupted the airline industry. Now, imagine if your cash register, refrigeration or computers stopped working for two days or even a week because of a prolonged power outage. Bankruptcy may be extreme, but 48 + hours can mean the difference between a profitable or crippled business.

Aside from your electric bill, your operating expenses don’t stop because your meter stopped. Your employees still expect their paychecks. Your bankers/landlord still demand their monthly payments. In the past, it was probably more cost effective to simply weather the power outage. Back then, standby generators weren't cheap. Now, businesses are extremely reliant on electricity, and standby generators are more affordable than ever before. They can often pay for themselves in just a single power outage.
