Storm Preparedness
There are real benefits to being prepared.
Being prepared can reduce fear, anxiety, and losses that accompany disasters. Communities, families, and individuals should know what to do in the event of a power outage. They should be ready to evacuate their homes and take refuge in public shelters and know how to care for their basic medical needs.
People also can reduce the impact of disasters (flood-proofing, elevating a home or moving a home out of harm’s way, and securing items that could shake loose in a Hurricane) and sometimes avoid the danger completely.
(A special note to restaurants: by installing a permanent generator system you can insure that your products will be safe and you can stay open during an emergency this alone will offset the cost of the system over time.)
The need to prepare is real.
Disasters disrupt hundreds of thousands of lives every year. Each disaster has lasting effects, both to people and property.
If a disaster occurs in your community, local government and disaster-relief organizations will try to help you, but you need to be ready as well. Local responders may not be able to reach you immediately, or they may need to focus their efforts elsewhere.
Having one of our systems could help make the rescue efforts as comfortable as possible
You should know how to respond to severe weather or any disaster that could occur in your area hurricanes, extreme heat,or flooding.
You should also be ready to be self-sufficient for at least three days. This may mean providing for your own shelter, first aid, food, water, and sanitation.
Gulf Coast Power can also provide you with days of self sustained electricity, so you are able to use hot showers and cook meals thoroughly to prevent and illnesses from occurring.
Where We Come In
Why Permanent?
We market fully integrated systems that feature switching devices and distribution panels in addition to the generator itself. Standby Generator systems have a transfer switch “brain” that monitors the home’s utility power for interruption. If one is detected, the switch automatically fires up the generator and transfers the electrical loads, bringing power back to the building. The same process, in reverse, brings normal utility power back on line when service resumes. generators can have power brought to building within 7-10 seconds of an outage. This is huge reassurance for owners who might not be around at the time of an outage, but still want their property protected.
Permanent generators are set up to power the Whole building this naturally requires a more powerful generator, and a transfer switch that carries the same rating as the main distribution panel. Transfer switches, which are essentially special electrical panels.we use fully automatic transfer systems once installed you can forget about them.
Permanent generators are preferred in areas with noise restrictions because they are housed in sound deadening material to minimize sound output.
