Home generators aren’t just for home use! Home generators, also known as standby generators, are a fabulous investment for your small business too. Here’s what you need to know about installing and maintaining a home generator in your commercial building.
Considering Your Unique Needs
Small businesses come in all shapes and sizes so the home generator that might work best for one business may not work well for another. For example, what are the power requirements of your business? The more wattage you’ll need during an outage, the larger the home generator you’ll want to buy. Empowered Global can help you determine your load needs and other unique factors that can impact the type of home generator you’ll want to purchase during a free consultation.
Determining Where to Install a Home Generator
You probably don’t want your generator located front and center outside your business for all your clients to see— but where is the best place to put your home generator? The answer may be influenced by ventilation, where your main electrical panel is located, and regulations related to the installation of home generators in your area. The knowledgeable technicians at Empowered Global can help you choose the perfect location for your home generator.
Planning for Maintenance
After you install your business’ home generator, it’s a good idea to schedule your first maintenance check before you forget. In general, you’ll want to have your business’ home generator serviced twice a year, however, the techs at Empowered Global can advise you of any special requirements of your specific standby generator. To keep your home generator’s warranty valid, you’ll want to make sure to follow the maintenance schedule.
