Guardian Standby Generators by Gina Electrical
Are they a Luxury or necessity? … or Both?
When it comes to your security and protection, is an emergency backup power system a luxury or necessity? ... or both? Consider the following facts:
The average home or business depends on more than 100 electrical devices that rely on utility power.
The Electric Power Research Institute reports that approximately 90 percent of all power interruptions are caused by lightning and faults (short circuits) on power distribution lines. These faults can be caused by severe weather, natural disasters, small animals, and vehicles accidentally downing power poles and lines. Destructive high winds, ice and snow compound the severity of any power interruption, and can lead to property loss or, worse yet, personal injury. In fact, even as the new millennium roles around, you are still more likely to experience a power disruption from severe weather and lightning.
Once again, when it comes to your security and protection, is an emergency backup power system a luxury or necessity? ... Or both? No matter how you look at it, Guardian is the answer, and Gina Electrical Maintenance has one for you.
What is an emergency power system?
The Generac Guardian emergency power system is a state-of-the-art electricity generating system designed for homes and small businesses. During a power failure, the generator starts up automatically. Within seconds, it assumes production of electricity for your home or business. You don't even have to throw a switch.
The generator is permanently installed outdoors, no more conspicuous than a central air conditioning unit. Unlike a portable generator, a Guardian emergency power system will run on liquid propane or natural gas, so it can be linked directly to your permanent fuel supply. You never need to manually fill a gasoline tank to have year-round, around-the-clock protection against power failures.
How important is emergency power to your home and business?
Electricity is the lifeblood of your home. A power outage that lasts for only a few hours can be a terrible inconvenience. An extended power failure accompanied by storms or severe temperatures can cause flooded basements, frozen pipes, structural damage and financial hardship. Pumps, furnaces, air conditioners, security systems, lights, stoves, water heaters and refrigerators all depend on electricity to keep your home safe, secure and running smoothly.
The average American home may depend on electricity for more than 100 electrical devices. Even a short interruption in electrical service can cause a great deal of discomfort and inconvenience.
But, if you own a Generac emergency power system, you can relax. Guardian protects life and property by supplying vital electricity when you need it most.
How will Generac's Guardian emergency power system benefit you?
Generac Guardian emergency power systems are not just for homes. Because the power supply of your business needs protection as well, Generac builds these fully integrated power systems in a variety of output sizes.
A single extended power outage can deal a devastating blow to your business. Not only do the lighting, climate control and alarm systems go down in a blackout, but you lose the use of computers and office machines, UPC scanners and refrigeration systems.
Many small to medium-sized businesses are finding that Guardian emergency power systems provide the ideal backup system for their offices, clinics, stores and service operations. During a power outage, while businesses throughout the area are forced to shut down, yours will function on generator power.
Why should you own a Generac Guardian emergency power system?
In the first few seconds of a power outage, Guardian powers up automatically and begins supplying electrical current to operate your sump pump, heating or air conditioning, computers, appliances and security systems. You don't even have to be there to react. Guardian emergency power systems sense the problem and react for you.
A blackout could continue for hours ... or days. For as long as the outage lasts, you can count on reliable performance from your Guardian emergency power system. And, when utility power is restored, you can depend on a smooth, safe transition back to the utility line. The transfer occurs automatically, and your Guardian emergency power system stands ready to respond to the next emergency.
Choosing the right emergency power system
Once you have determined the output you need from your generator and the type of fuel you wish to use (natural gas or liquid propane), you can select the Guardian emergency power system that is right for you. Additional capacity is recommended to support your electrical appliances with induction motors, which require three to five times the listed watts to start.
To ensure safe and proper operation, your Guardian generator needs to be professionally installed by an authorized Guardian dealer. As an authorized Guardian dealer, Gina Electrical Maintenance will be glad to discuss installation options and a quotation for your specific application.
How does the system work?
1. The Generac Automatic Transfer Switch monitors incoming voltage from the utility line.
2. When utility power is interrupted, the Transfer Switch senses the problem and signals the generator to begin supplying electricity.
3. The Transfer Switch automatically makes a connection between your critical loads and the Guardian generator. Quickly, smoothly, powerfully, your home's or business' critical loads are again operational.
What size system do you need?
Generac Guardian emergency power systems are available in a variety of output sizes. The size that will work best for you depends on the wattage requirements of your home or business.
Listed here are approximate running wattages for a number of household items. By adding up the ratings of all the items you wish to keep running during a power outage, then dividing by 1,000, you will arrive at an estimate of the kilowatt (kW) output you need from your Guardian emergency power system.
