Hotels serve as a place for tired travelers to rest, but they are so much more than that. Many hotels have restaurants, bars, spas, gift shops and more. They provide amenities such as a gym, pool, room service, and laundry facilities. In addition to overnight guests, hotels also host conventions, business meetings, weddings, and other events in banquet halls. With all of these services, hotels are in demand at all times.

What Happens When Hotels Lose Power

If a hotel were to lose power, many things would go wrong. Guests and employee safety would be in jeopardy as they could trip and fall navigating in the dark. Security systems would go down, leaving the building vulnerable to theft or worse. Incoming guests would be unable to check in and outgoing guests could not check out, leaving budget and capacity numbers inaccurate.

Benefits of Backup Power for Hotels 

When people are forced to go without power they will seek out hotels that have it. Hotels need backup generators to ensure operations go on as usual and to maintain the comfort of their guests in a power outage. Your restaurant and bar’s perishable items will not spoil. Your reservations system will continue running when you may need it the most. The pool will stay clean and the hot tubs hot and bubbling.

You’ll be ready to host events rather than face disappointed guests who have to cancel or reschedule. Business continuity for hotels isn’t just important—it’s crucial.  Because standby generators start automatically within seconds of the power going out, no one has to be there to turn it on.
