An unexpected power outage at home, though inconvenient, is generally easy to deal with. However, when a power outage happens in a business, the consequences could be much more drastic. For this reason, many businesses are now choosing to install a generator with an automatic transfer switch.
Automatic standby generator sets make enduring any unplanned power outages easier for commercial establishments. Rather than halting operations, which can quickly become increasingly detrimental to the company’s bottom line, companies in industries of all kinds are investing in their own emergency backup generator.
The following article will highlight some reasons for businesses to consider investing in an emergency standby generator with an automatic transfer switch. Of course, if you’re ready to look at standby generators for sale and wish to speak with a technician in more detail, we’d be happy to help.

Why Businesses Need an Automatic Backup Generator
Emergency power outages never happen at a convenient time. Even in instances where weather forecasts forewarn an impending power outage, the lack of electricity for even a short period of time can completely disrupt business operations. Being prepared to handle such occasions can help keep businesses operating during these times, keeping them competitive and reducing the negative impact an outage causes to their bottom line.
An emergency power outage isn’t always caused by the weather. Although a recent study shows that over 80% of all power outages in the last decade had weather-related causes, there are also other common reasons.
The top five causes of power outages are:
- Weather
- Animals
- Vehicles
- Equipment Failure
- Electrical Spikes
The problem with any of these is that they can happen at any moment, day or night, year round. Operating during these outages creates a high potential for monetary loss. Even losing power for as little as an hour can greatly affect the financial line. To prevent this, the best resolution is to be prepared.
Prepare With an Automatic Generator with Transfer Switch
Emergency backup generators come in a diverse variety of sizes and electrical output. Unlike their smaller portable counterparts, an automatic standby generator is installed in a permanent location. The generator is then hooked up to the electrical breaker and will transition to providing emergency power after power is lost.
The reasons an automatic generator transfer switch should be considered a necessity are convenience and seamless transition of power. Instead of having to manually switch power sources, automatic generator transfer switches are designed to detect power loss itself. The generator then automatically switches power sources.
