Standby Home Generators
We have all seen it happen many times -- storm winds blow (or lightning strikes, ice forms, etc.), trees fall, wires go down and the power goes out. For how long? Well, that depends on a number of things, not the least of which is the severity of the damage. But you may be surprised to know that where you live can be a major factor as well.
You see, utilities follow a protocol for the restoration of service designed to get power back to the greatest number of people in the shortest amount of time. Priority is given to making dangerous situations such as with downed lines safe even before attempting to restore service. When service restoration begins, institutions such as fire, police and hospitals are addressed first. Secondly, the focus is on main lines-those that can restore power to perhaps thousands of people. Then they move to lines that can affect hundreds; secondary lines that affect dozens; and finally to service drops at individual homes. If you happen to live in an area where homes or businesses are less numerous, the delay in restoring power can, be significant.
For more details on how your power company treats outages, you can visit their website. The local utilities, Exelon| PECO , PPL Electric Utilities and Delmarva Power all have a section on their website dealing with power outages.
If the outage lasts for only a brief time, then there is little or no harm done.
However, extended outages can be uncomfortable and, at certain times, downright dangerous. This is especially true if you or a member of your family have a medical condition or if you rely on a sump pump to keep your basement dry. Single battery backups do work with sump pump systems and are useful for short outages but, without power to recharge them, their stoarge can be drained within just a few hours.
None of this has to be a problem. GSE has a full range of generator systems, each of which starts up within seconds of a power loss and then shuts down as soon as power is restored. And, we carry products from several manufacturers; thereby providing you with the widest range of choice both in terms of price and capability. But, we don’t just sell the equipment, we are also a factory authorized repair center for several of our manufacturer partners – names like Kohler,GE, Briggs and Stratton, Guardian Generators. In short, we know what it takes to make a successful installation.
We now feature whole-house, silent, battery-based standby generators for homes, apartments, or businesses. We can even design a solar-powered emergency standby system... a battery-based back up system recharged by the power of the sun!
Iif you already have a generator, we will be happy to arrange to service it for you – even if someone else installed it. Contact us if your generator needs repair or annual maintenance service.
