Power outages are almost always unpredictable. They can last anywhere between a few minutes to a few weeks, and cause a number of problems for any business. However, while some businesses are merely inconvenienced by power failures, others can suffer disastrous consequences if power isn’t immediately restored.
For example, while the loss of power for a walk-in or office-based business would likely induce a delay in work that would inconvenience customers, the loss of power for public safety services like police stations, 911 operators, and paramedics could cause widespread panic among civilians who have been disconnected.
In any case, a steady supply of power is essential for work performance and connectivity. If your business caters to any of the following three industries in particular, consider investing in a commercial backup generator for the safety of your clients, your employees, and your business.
The Healthcare Industry
The healthcare industry is comprised of a wide variety of medical facilities, such as hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, and healthcare centers. These businesses are especially vulnerable to outages since they rely on power for the upkeep of patient condition and protection. For any healthcare facility, power is absolutely crucial. Heating, cooling, lighting, and the maintenance of life support devices are completely dependent on a constant supply of power. Being prepared with a commercial backup generator on standby could mean the difference between life and death in the event of an emergency.
The Food Industry
Not many people stop to think about just how much places like restaurants, supermarkets, and bakeries are affected by power outages. Most—if not all—major kitchen appliances need power to function. Without power for refrigerators, freezers, ovens, heating lamps, and electronic cooking instruments, the sanitation of the food being prepared, served, and preserved is compromised. More importantly, if food is stored inappropriately and then served to a customer, that person could get extremely sick.
Customers are also not likely to stay in a restaurant or shop in a supermarket while the cooling system (i.e. the air conditioner) is offline. Through the employment of commercial backup generators, businesses in the food industry will be able to keep their customers happy and comfortable while ensuring that their food is fresh and ready.
The Service Industry
Businesses within the service industry can suffer greatly in the event of a power failure. From beauty salons to telecommunications—and everything in between—businesses that provide any kind of a service will most likely not be able to function without power, especially since many modern businesses within the service industry operate primarily online through cable connections and the Internet.
In addition, as with the food industry, clients who are not kept happy are likely to leave in search of another service provider who still has power. Using a commercial backup generator will not only keep clients content and connected, but may also draw the attention of new clients in the event that their competitors are effected by the power failure.
A commercial backup generator may seem like a large investment, but the rewards of having one far outweigh the risks of not. Since power outages remain an unpredictable threat to businesses everywhere, the installation and maintenance of a commercial backup generator is a smart investment in the long run.
Don’t let your business be the only one left in the dark.
