More Storm Damage Power Outage Video from TMJ4

TMJ4 had another news clip, within a few hours they were reporting 2,000 WE Energies customers without power, than 6,000, than 20,000 customers without power. It during such storms that so many can lose their power, during rain storms, if you lose power, you could end up with a flooded basement. If the cost of an automated generator and automated transfer switch are beyond your budget, at least consider a small $300 generators just to keep your sump pumps running. I saw Home Depot today had a sale on 5,000 Watt manual Generators for $659. 5,000 watts is 20.8 amperes max, or 16 amps continuous, that’s at 120/240 volt. With that, you could keep one or two sump pumps operating, the refrigerator, your TV or radio, and a few more small loads.

If you have a manual transfer switch installed alongside your circuit breaker panel, you could easily control 6, 10, or 12 small loads by just flipping the manual transfer switch. A transfer switch and a power inlet receptacle, and the power cord from the generator to the power inlet receptacle will cost around $1,000 installed depending upon your job particulars.

Automatic systems are the most convenient and fully automated, the price tag is several times the manual but you don’t have to be home to keep valuable equipment operable. We have free brochures and a free DVD if you’re interested in a quote for emergency back-up power. Call your electrical contractor to receive a free estimate and then to have his electrician or electricians come to your home for the emergency back-up power generator for peace of mind.
