For many businesses, a power outage spells disaster. Lack of power can cause decreased production, spoiled inventory, unsafe working conditions, and more. Fortunately, there are ways to mitigate risk and maintain electrical stability during an outage. Corbin Electrical Services, Inc. provides commercial generators for businesses throughout New Jersey. Here, we discuss the advantages of installing a commercial standby generator at your business.
What Is a Commercial Generator?
Commercial generators are devices that produce electricity without connection to the power grid. They burn fuel, such as diesel, propane, gas, or natural gas, to produce mechanical movement or energy. This energy is converted into usable electricity.
Commercial backup generators, also called commercial standby generators, are generators that are used as backup power. The generator is connected to an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) that automatically detects power outages. If the ATS senses a change in power, it activates within seconds. The switch turns on the generator to restore consistent electricity, allowing you to keep critical equipment operational through the outage.
What Are the Benefits of a Commercial Generator?
Power interruptions cost you more than just inconvenience. At a minimum, lost power means lost labor hours, reducing your productivity and your profits until your site comes back online. It can be even worse depending on your industry. In food service, unpowered refrigerators result in spoiled inventory. For medical applications, lost power may even mean loss of life. Commercial backup generators keep your facility consistently powered through blackouts, brownouts, and surges. This provides several important benefits. With a backup generator installed, you can:
- Maintain productivity: Your site can stay productive through the outage, preventing lost labor hours so you can keep making a profit.
- Improve site safety: Reliable power helps you maintain lights, elevators, climate control, security, and other systems necessary for a safe working environment.
- Protect assets: Generators keep your refrigerators, computers, and equipment fully functional, preventing inventory spoilage, data loss, and equipment damage.
- Enhance your reputation: By preventing business outages, you give customers a reason to feel confident about your products and services, building credibility and trust.
- Preserve peace of mind: When your business is protected by a commercial backup generator, you have greater peace of mind about its future.
For all these reasons, a standby generator is not an optional upgrade. Instead, it should be considered a critical safety and productivity feature for your business facility.
Choosing the Right Backup Generator
Commercial backup generators are not all built to the same specifications. To get the most out of your investment, it’s important to choose the right piece of equipment for your application. Consider the following when determining which generator is right for your needs:
Fuel Options
Natural gas can be connected to local utility lines, making it affordable and convenient. Diesel or propane offers higher output and less risk of losing power if natural gas is cut off.
Electrical Load
Every business has unique needs. One of our electricians can help you evaluate which systems are critical during an outage, then determine how much power they require to stay functional.
Scalability
Don’t just get the smallest possible generator for your needs. If you plan to expand your business or add new systems, then you should install a generator that can handle higher demand.
