GENERATORS

 

Our personal and business lives depend on power. Natural disasters such as Hurricane Irene underscore the importance of preventative measures. Many families and business on the shoreline were without power for a week.

Don’t wait for the next hurricane or unforseen outages as "disasters" can occur any time, all four seasons, 24/7/365. Those with generator systems professionally installed in advance by Modern Electric will be prepared to weather any storm, natural or incidental.

STANDBY SYSTEMS

 

Medium-sized emergency generators are better for protecting families, and home-based businesses with office computers, network connections, phones and security systems at a resonable cost. Propane or natural gas-powered generators, permanently installed at the residence, will restore power to most critical appliances such as refrigerators, sump pumps, furnace, and lighting. Mid-size units typically generate from 10,000 to 20,000 Watts.

 

PORTABLE

 

Portable generators are the least expensive. Operated by gasoline or propane, these can also be transported to remote locations, such as campsites, summer cottages or construction sites for remote convenience.

These standalone units range in size from 140 pounds and 4000 Watts to 300 pounds and 10,000 watts. Residential backup requires professional installation and a safety briefing.

Modern Electric will install a transfer switch which isolates your home system from the electric grid to avoid the possibility of electrical shock. The generator must be placed for adequate ventilation to prevent exhaust from entering the home.

Once there's a power outage, generators and the accessories to install them properly to code become scarce. Plan ahead.

Please call us for a no obligation evaluation of your home and/or business, and we'll tailor a custom solution to fit your needs and budget. All as a one stop solution for your generator needs, protecting you, your home and/or business.
