Generators introduction

Regardless of where you work in the United States, one thing remains true: at some point, your power will go out.

Many people don't give electricity a whole lot of thought... until it's not available. But any business-owner knows even short power outages can be costly. Unfortunately, with a near total reliance on electricity to power our daily lives, the danger goes far beyond just the loss of food.

In some situations, power is crucial to safety and welfare. For example, some security gates cannot be opened without power. Emergency pumps that are used to prevent flooding or simply pull fresh water from a well all require electricity. Medical equipment all requires electricity. And even modern phone systems require power for operation.

Try to imagine your life without one or more of those things for any length of time and you'll quickly realize why so many medical and health facilities, schools, supermarkets, and other locations that house people and valuable goods are investing in electric generators.

You have to be prepared. Because once disaster strikes, the damage is done.

In addition to a wide variety of backup uses around the home or office, you may also need power in places that don't have utility service at all, including construction sites and campgrounds. For these and similar applications, portable generators have become a practically indispensable tool.

Generators come in a wide range of sizes and setups for every situation. This BuyerZone Generators Buyer's Guide will:
