1. You Can Ensure Continued Productivity

For some companies, it will not be the end of the world if they are down for a few hours. Other companies may lose millions if their business is forced to shut down during the busiest time of day. A standby generator allows your workers to keep working and keeps the necessary appliances and hardware running. How long your company can continue to function solely on a backup generator will depend on how much power your company uses and the size of your generator.

2. Having Power Could Potentially Save Lives

Southern California is not known for severe weather, but with changing eco-systems around the world, Mother Nature is becoming more unpredictable. If there were to be a weather event, such as a severe thunderstorm or heat storm, or a California wildfire, having power at your company could literally save lives.

3. Security Will Be Securely in Place

If your company deals with sensitive information then a power outage could be exploited as a way to gain access to that data. If you have a security system at your location that prevents people from getting in or out of the facility, then losing power could put everyone in danger. A backup generator allows the power to keep running and data and security to remain in place.

4. You Won’t Have to Give Up Time to Brownouts or Rolling Outages

Is there anything more frustrating than a rolling outage or a brownout? Even if it only lasts for 20 minutes, once your workforce gets out of working mode, they cannot get back into it instantly.
