Power Requirements: Assess the equipment and systems that must stay operational during an outage. From point-of-sale terminals to refrigerators or HVAC, make a list and calculate your wattage needs.
Fuel Type: Generators are commonly powered by gasoline, diesel, propane, or natural gas. Availability, cost, and storage should influence your choice.
Portability vs. Permanence: Portable generators offer flexibility and lower upfront costs, while standby generators automatically kick in during outages and provide seamless power for longer periods.
Noise Levels: For businesses in residential areas, quieter models are a must to avoid disturbing neighbors and customers.
Maintenance: Regular servicing keeps your generator functioning reliably—ask your supplier about service plans and local support.
Business Continuity: Stay open and serve your customers even when the grid goes down.
Product Protection: Safeguard inventory, especially perishables and sensitive equipment.
Customer Trust: Show you’re prepared and dependable, building loyalty and confidence even in challenging conditions.
Safety and Security: Maintain lighting, alarms, and security systems to keep your premises safe.
