Why Should I Invest In Standby Generators?
Here at MTS Power Products, we know the importance of having a disaster plan that includes a reliable generator- we are based in hurricane-prone South Florida after all! A standby generator is an investment that can help take your experience in the aftermath of a storm from manageable to comfortable. If you have any questions before you make such a big decision- read on to find your answers! If you have any questions about standby generators, call MTS Power Products today. 305-634-1511
What is a standby generator?
A standby generator is a strong power supply that is a permanent fixture in your home or business which is installed above ground like an AC unit and connected to your home’s pre-existing electrical circuit.
Can I manage with just a portable generator?
While portable generators are a good solution for a short-term and localized power loss, they can become quite a hassle if an outage lasts more than a few hours or power needs to be supplied to more than one room at a time. Some reasons why a standby generator may be a better option for you than a portable are:
· No Extension Cords – With a portable generator, an extension cord must be run from the unit into the property. Standby generators are a part of your home’s electrical system and do not require any cords for you to wrestle with.
· No Manual Activation – Portable generators must be manually turned on and off. Standby generators monitor your power supply and automatically switch on when power is lost and switch off again when power is restored.
· No Gasoline – Standby generators use your properties’ existing Liquid Petroleum, propane, or natural gas supply lines for a power source. There is no need to have reserves of gasoline before a storm or go outside during a storm to refuel your generator as you would have to with a portable generator.
· Power Your Entire Property – Portable generators only have the ability to power a few critical appliances at once. It can be frustrating during an outage to switch the generator from appliance to appliance or room to room as needed. Standbys are powerful enough to provide electricity to entire residences or businesses at one time.
· Self-Maintenance – When left stagnant for extended periods of time, portable generators can go bad for a number of reasons including corrosion, rust, dirt, or simply being too old. There is nothing worse than being in the middle of a power outage only to find that your generator has died. Many standby generators do periodic maintenance runs automatically to ensure that this does not happen and when the time comes, your property is prepped and ready with the electricity it needs.
· Total Customization – Standby generators come in a wide variety of strengths, sizes, fuel options, and brands so you are sure to find the perfect unit for your space.
· Peace of Mind – Standbys can be installed months- or even years- before a potential emergency and then forgotten about until the time comes when it is needed. No more running to the store buy a new generator or stockpiling gas days before a big storm hits. No more panicking when the lights unexpectedly go out. A permanent standby generator keeps you and your property safe and operational no matter the time or place.
How do I choose the best standby generator for my property?
As stated above, there are many options to choose from when buying a standby unit. Some things to consider when looking at different models include:
-strength (wattage)
-lasting power
-fuel type
-cost
While this can make shopping for your new generator a bit daunting, it also means that there is a perfect fit for your property which will run as efficiently and effectively as possible. And you don’t have to make the decision alone- our experts at MTS Power Supply have all the knowledge to be able to guide you to your perfect power solution!
