For those who live in South Florida or pretty much anywhere that storms or other unusual occurrences can take out an electrical grid and plunge your home or business into darkness, backup generators have been a blessing. Standby power solutions have kept businesses running and homes safe, secure and comfortable enough to ride out almost any situation until normal power can be restored. The cost of these backup generators has made them affordable for most home and commercial needs, with the initial cost of a generator and installation greatly dependent upon how much electricity you will need to power some, or all of your requirements.
In understanding how much backup generators cost, you first need to know that they are rated by their Kilowatt or KW output. The higher the Kilowatt output, the greater the load they can handle, or in simpler terms, the more appliances they can run. The professional sales staff at Assurance Power Systems can assist you in determining the size generator needed to power all those appliances or devices you feel are essential should an electrical outage occur. This is a key element in deciding what size generator to purchase, as an air conditioner or refrigerator may need substantially more power to start than to merely keep running.
In addition to the initial cost of a backup generator you would need to decide on how long you will need to keep the generator running. Whether it is several hours or several days or perhaps even a few weeks, the generator will need to have a constant and reliable fuel supply. Fuel can either be stored in large tanks such as used with Liquid Propane (LP) or with natural gas, delivered via existing fuel lines set in place by a city utility. Diesel and gas are also options that require storage.
If this seems a bit overwhelming, don’t worry! Assurance Power Systems technicians are experts at asking the right questions to estimate the wattage needed to power your home or business in an emergency. Some people may want to power their entire home, while others may cut costs by requiring only essential elements of their home or business be powered. The cost of your standby power solutions are dependent on your needs. Backup generators are wired directly into your home’s circuit panel, so your power interruption is minimal, when your power goes out, your generator turns on.
Call Assurance Power Systems today to determine what size generator will serve your needs. Remember, the time to call about an emergency generator is before you need one!
