Is Your Generator in Good Shape?

A generator is a great emergency power supply when you lose other energy sources. To ensure your generator will be there when you need it, occasionally check the indicator light to make sure it is in Green and ready to run as opposed to a Red indicator which means there is a fault or problem which will keep it from running when you need it.

Make sure you do the following if you suspect any issues.

Make Sure It Can Consistently Start

There are some simple reasons your generator might fail to start, such as low fuel or oil. A poor battery might also be a simple cause of the problem. If you suspect any of these issues there may be electrical or mechanical problem. You’ll need a qualified electrician / Generator technician to check the Generator and diagnose the underlying problem before you lose power and to ensure your Generator runs when you need it most.

Brace for the Storms with Whole-House Surge Protection

By George Anderson • 12 Nov, 2023

Brace for the Storms with Whole-House Surge Protection If you have a surge protector plugged into one outlet for your computer and similar technology, those items will have that protection. However, the rest of your home may be at risk. Additionally, a single electrical surge might be enough to fry the protector and risk your devices. Find out why a whole-house surge protector is the best alternative. Reduce Safety Risks with a Whole-House Surge Protector in Montclair, NJ Although a lightning strike might be rare, it’s essential to prepare for the possibility. That’s because one lightning strike could cause an energy surge powerful enough to cause electrical arcs or melt your wiring. A whole-house surge protector will guard against surges of at least 40,000 amps. This is enough to block high electrical charges from lightning strikes or other external surges. This reduces the risks of electrocution or electrical fires during a severe storm.
