Standby Generators: When Power Failure is Not an Option

industrial generatorIn Florida, the power outage headlines are all too common. Thankfully this 2018 hurricane season is predicted to be milder than last year's when Hurricane Irma left her mark on our Sunshine State. Irma set records with power outages affecting 3.9 million of Florida Power and Light's total 4.9 million customers. Irma was a worst-case scenario, but experienced Floridians know that it doesn't take a category 4 hurricane to leave them in the dark.

As of this writing, Tropical Storm Gordon is packing enough punch to knock out power to 6,000 customers in Miami with its relatively mild 45-49 mph wind gusts. That was quite enough to leave 8,000 customers in the dark in Miami-Dade and Broward counties. For industrial operators responsible for the health, safety, and comfort of others in retirement homes, medical and nursing facilities, and commercial buildings and businesses, power failure is not an option. Mader Electric's standby generator services are the solution.

Standby Generators For Automatic Backup

At Mader Electric we've been keeping industrial, commercial, and business facilities up and running since 1903 and standby generators play a huge role in that achievement. While homeowners may tolerate power outages as a mere inconvenience, relying on inexpensive portable generators to supply basic minimal power needs, large facility operators don't have that option. Industrial level standby generators need to be held to the highest standard of reliability in Florida, where the question of a power outage occurring is not "if" but "when".

Standby generators for large facilities usually run on natural gas or propane and may be hooked up to a natural gas supply line. These high-end generators can sense a power outage and start automatically to provide uninterrupted power for critical needs such as medical life-support, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications to name just a few examples.

In any operation requiring constant power flow a reliable fuel supply, and outage sensing and automatic switching functions should be verified as part of a preventative maintenance program. If the facility has increased wattage requirements that come with the addition of new electrical appliances or equipment it's vital to ensure that the existing standby generator is up to the task. The experienced, licensed service professionals at Mader Electric have the expertise to repair industrial level standby generators as well as evaluating and meeting increased power requirements for large commercial facilities.
