Hurricane Irene missed direct landfall in Florida, and first touched landfall in North Carolina. During this period, GenerX Generators, a Generac generator dealer in Tampa, Florida, received dozens of inquiries towards standby generators in Tampa, and as far north as New York. To date, GenerX continues to have dozens of residential generators in stock, which take only hours to install at your home.

Tropical Storm Lee was the next storm to miss landfall in Tampa, Florida. Instead, Lee reached land in Louisiana, drawing an interest in both residential and commercial generators. Lee reached states as far north as Pennsylvania, and even to Canada. During this time, power outages were caused mainly due to flooding, and wind.

The last hurricane of the season has been Rina, which reached landfall on the Yucatan peninsula towards the end of October. In all, the 2011 hurricane season was calm, leading to no power outages in the Tampa Bay area, and very few throughout the United States. GenerX power continues to ship generators outside of Tampa. In addition, GenerX is Tampa’s only elite Generac generator dealer, installing standby power systems for both residential and commercial needs.

Whether you are looking to improve your home for hosting events, or providing for your daily routines, one item is critical with any new appliance or redesign, electricity. Protecting your home’s power supply is often overlooked in the improvement of homes. As you make a list of improvements to be made, evaluate your backup power plan.

Remember that home improvement takes planning. Plan improvements to your home prior to the height of hurricane and storm season. Evaluate the structural integrity of your home, including your roof and any outstanding tree limbs. Create a schedule for the items that you need most, including a standby power system.

Don’t wait until the storms approach to purchase your standby generator system in Tampa, Fl. But if you do, remember that GenerX always has standby generators in Tampa, FL – in stock and ready to ship in city and beyond. We ship to dozens of countries, as well as cities across the United States. Plan your power needs with GenerX Generators.

Included in this plan to ship generators to regions affected snowstorms, are shipping discounts, installation tutorials and best practices to ensure that your home is fortified from weather induced power outages. Mark Costis, chief engineer and architect of Generx’s inclusion of northern shipping regions states that, “Winter storms, much like hurricanes in Tampa, are known to cause power outages.

Duke Energy and Progress Energy’s mix of coal, nuclear, natural gas, oil and renewable resources will total approximately 57 gigawatts of U.S. generating capacity. To put that amount of power into context, the top selling Generac generators, the Guardian series, is capable of generating 20kW of electricity.

Gather emergency items now. These items include enough fuel to keep your home warm and power your appliances. Before choosing a generator, consult with a support team to assess the electrical needs of your home and the best generators for your budget. Specifically, Generac generators have dozens of options to provide your home with emergency standby power cost effectively.

Although considered a luxury in many areas, homeowners with a range of power appreciate the practical value of generators as severe weather strain local and regional power grids. With an increased demand for generators, many area prices, such as Tampa generators, are seeing a price drop from recent years. Generators can be sized to your needs and installed for a portion of what the same units would have cost a decade ago.

In many rural areas, power that has been lost due to a storm may last from several days, to several weeks, even months in remote areas. The only way to ensure power is to have an emergency standby generator that will activate when the transfer switch senses an electrical disturbance from the main system. At this moment, your power will seamlessly transfer over to your generator. However, ensure that you have your generator inspected and maintained by a professional each year to test functionality. If there is a blackout and your standby system has entered a stay of disrepair, you may find yourself without power until a generator specialist is able to service your system.

Remember, stay warm this winter with an emergency standby Generac generator from Generx.

10 eight-foot-tall wind turbines have been mounted on parapets atop the five-story Eltona Apartments building – an experiment in urban wind power that developers hope could become a national model.

The developer and owner, Blue Sea Development, specializes in green buildings and chose a site with a structure strong enough to support wine turbines.

The wind turbine system cost about $100,000 to buy and install. When the wind blows steadily, the turbines can generate enough electricity – about 12 kilowatts – to serve the common-area energy needs of the 63-unit subsidized housing complex.

The building also gets electricity from an on-site natural-gas generator. Through cogeneration – an environmentally friendly strategy for large buildings – the “waste heat” from the natural gas generator warms the building’s water. There is also a community garden on the property and various green design features.

Wind turbines are rare in cities like Tampa because surrounding buildings block the wind, and because of limits placed by zoning, yard space, and infrastructure too weak for roof-mounting. But if buildings are constructed to host wind turbines, as the Eltona was, environmental awareness might be multiplied in the Tampa Bay area.

Building contractors, government agencies, and industrial complexes should follow the successes of the Eltona Apartments. By installing a generator, Tampa buildings will be able to obtain the energy-saving successes of the Eltona Apartments. From this example, users of smart urban power will be educated on additional environmental saving methods, such as cogeneration. Tampa generators can be supplied on demand, with an option to install generators in areas that are being built with wind turbine systems.

Generx Generators is the only Generac elite dealer in Tampa. This means the lowest Tampa generator prices, same-day installations, and exceptional customer service you would expect from Tampa’s trusted generator dealer.

Storm season is here. Tropical Storm Bonnie continues her course around the coast of Florida and the summer heat continues to build. Secure your electric with a standby home generator from Generx Generators of Tampa.

Floridians are familiar with the threat of a tropical storm entering the gulf of Mexico. Once in this cauldron of hot water, Bonnie’s strength will build. We can assume that Tropical Storm Bonnie will soon become Hurricane Bonnie, threatening Florida with her growing bands.

However, the threat does not just end with bands. An eastern storm front could push the path of Bonnie into the West coast of Florida. This means the Gulf Coast and Tampa Bay.
When a hurricane strikes, you will lose power. Perhaps for hours, days or weeks. This means discomfort for you and your family. Secure your home and appliances with a standby home generator from Generx.

Remember, the summer does not just mean hurricane season, it also means heat. With the continued use of electricity across the bay area, power outages will ensue. With a continued strain on the electric grid, residential and hospitals are given priority over many businesses. Instead of letting your business dollars go to waste in a forced power outage, power your productivity. Enlist in the industrial generator options of Generx Gernerators and secure your electric and productive output.

From this lesson, we can learn to better prepare ourselves for the next “Deepwater” oil leak, or any other ‘natural’ or manmade disaster. We cannot predict when a disaster is going to happen, but we can be prepared.

Prepare yourself. No state is immune to power outages, flooding, or inclement temperatures. For decades, American appliances have been refined to provide us with every comfort possible against the elements. However, all of these appliances are operated by electricity. When your power goes out, in many cases, so will your comfort.

Prepare yourself with a home standby generator. A home standby generator can be placed in a secure location that will not impede operation during inclement weather. Tampa generators can be placed outdoors on pedestals to reduce the risk of flooding. In coastal regions, generators can be placed behind barrier walls to reduce the risk of wind damage. From all across the world, generators are being implemented to ensure your comfort.

In the month of May, the following states were listed as federal disaster regions: Kentucky, Mississippi, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Oklahoma and California. Each of these regions experienced severe flooding, except California, which experienced an earthquake.

In areas prone to flooding, you will need to operate multiple pumps to release water from areas of low elevation. The problem of operating a pump system to relieve flooding is having a secure power source to operate these functions. All of the aforementioned regions experienced power outages. When the storm hits, you need to be prepared.  Tampa generator dealers do not just know storms. We have lived them.  Prepare yourself with a home standby generator from Generx Generators of Tampa.

The first oil spill that came to the forefront of our minds was the Exxon Valdez disaster in the 1980s. The Exxon Valdez spilled over 10 million gallons of oil into Prince William Sound and is ranked as the 54^th largest oil spill in the world.  Today, the Deepwater Horizon spill continues to leak over 116 million gallons of oil.  If only BP had been prepared for the risks all of us take for operating in areas beyond our control. There will always be flooding, leaks, and winds. And with them, power outages.
