Backup Generators & Hurricane Season

Keeping the Lights on During Hurricane Season

Living in Florida, we all know when June comes, we better be prepared for yet another hurricane season. Plan ahead to keep the power on at your home, business and farm this year. 

“We anticipate that the 2020 Atlantic basin hurricane season will have above-normal activity,” wrote Dr. Philip Klotzbach, Colorado State University Department of Atmospheric Science. Colorado State forecasts 16 named storms in the Atlantic Ocean, with 8 turning into hurricanes and 4 upgrading into major hurricanes. 1

Hurricanes amongst other weather events can cause lots of damage on the electrical grids – sending your home, business and farm into the darkness for hours, days and even weeks. More and more consumers are choosing to install propane-powered standby generators. They are ready to run at a moment’s notice and have a large enough capacity tank to get you through a long power outage, as if nothing ever happened.

If you are considering installing a propane-powered standby generator in your home or business this year, consider the following before making a standby generator purchase.

Standby Generator Size

They are rated by the number of watts they produce. The more devices you want to power, the bigger of a machine you’ll need. Call upon our experts who can help you decide what brand and size generator you need for your home, business or farm.

Standby Generator Capacity

Home storage tank sizes range from 100 to 1,000 gallons. Propane gas doesn’t have a shelf-life, meaning it never expires and won’t go bad in your generator if it’s not used unlike traditional fuels that gunk over time.

Standby Generator Installation

There’s a lot to installing your standby generator from installing the automatic transfer switch to plumbing connections and choosing the proper installation site based on manufacturer recommendations and what your property allows, call upon our trusted experts to install your new standby generator.
