Backup Power

If you have ever lost power at your home or place of business, you know how disruptive this can be to your day-to-day activities. For homeowners, an extended power outage could lead to problems such as spoiled food and even burst pipes during the colder months. For business owners, loss of power may significantly cut into expected profits. One of the best ways to prevent these sorts of problems is to incorporate a backup power generator into your electrical system. Lebold Electric can install a wide range of different generators at your home or place of business in order to circumvent issues related to power outages.

What Types of Generators Are Available?

Homeowners and business owners are able to choose from multiple styles of generators, differing in their power source, their cost and the amount of energy they provide. Consider the commonly used generators:

Fixed: Fixed generators use gasoline or diesel fuel to supply varying amounts of power. This can be a good option for larger buildings that require reliable access to electricity.
Portable: Although they do not usually provide as much power as fixed types, portable generators are often a good choice for homeowners and campers due to their convenience. These also run off of gasoline or diesel fuel and come in different sizes.
Battery Backup: If your power outages are normally short-lived, a battery backup system may be a suitable alternative. These batteries can store varying amounts of electricity to meet needs for a short time. While they don’t typically provide as much power as fixed or portable generators, neither do they require gasoline or diesel fuel.
Wind- or Solar-Powered: Renewable energy sources can be used to power generators. Solar panels may be advantageous for residential and commercial properties, while wind generators usually work best for those with a lot of open land. A downside of these generators is that their power sources may not always be available.
