As global leaders in energy technology solutions, Generac aims to provide preparation information for the upcoming hurricane season and power outages associated with the weather events.

70% of power outages in the U.S. are weather related. If your organization is vulnerable to hurricanes, it is important that you understand your risk, develop a preparedness and mitigation plan and take action.

Since it is the transfer switch that serves as a link to either power source, it can be considered one of the most critical links of a backup power system, as it is not just monitoring the sources, but is also making the critical decision of when to switch and which source it is to be connected to.

Life can change when the power goes out. The heat or air conditioning often stops. Electrical appliances stop. Lighting stops. In 2018, Generac recorded 633,692,764 total power outage hours across the United States. Power outages have become more prevalent and more problematic in recent years, especially in an increasingly connected world.
