Mother’s Day – Give Mom the Gift of Peace of Mind

Posted on May 7, 2012 by Norwall PowerSystems

Mother’s Day is almost here, Sunday May 13th.  Here at Norwall PowerSystems we have a great suggestion for the perfect gift.  Give Mom something that shows her you want to keep her safe.

How about one of our popular automatic home standby generators from Generac, that comes pre-packaged with a transfer switch for backup power.  These model runs on natural gas or propane, easily changes from one fuel type to the other.  Included is a built-in base pad for minimal site preparation keeping installation costs down.

And we can all agree Mom deserves nothing but the best.  So Generac includes in their packages a transfer switch options for every need.  There are choices from an 8kW model up to 20kW model that can power part of your house to managing all your electrical needs.  The transfer switch is smart enough to manage the startup of the air conditioners so no overloading of the generator occurs.  Mom will be impressed.

For some extra convenience, enjoy instant status updates without leaving the house with a wireless remote monitor.  No need to go outside during inclement weather to check your generator status.  Completely wireless and battery powered, the wireless remote monitor provides visual and audio alerts for maintenance and an audio alert when battery is low.  Small and compact about the size of a credit card with magnetic back for refrigerator mounting. Mom will be overjoyed at your thoughtfulness.

We’re not through yet! A state of the art battery charging system that helps prevents damage to the battery.  The Nexus control panel keeps track of hours of use, the maintenance schedule and will display alerts to keep you updated with the requirements of your generator, no guessing if it’s time to perform maintenance.  She will know when it’s time to call for service.

Mom will be surprised with the gift of an automatic home standby generator that provides peace of mind for an uninterrupted lifestyle.  So this Mother’s Day, give the Mom in your life a gift that shows her just how important she is.

Why an Automatic Home Standby Generator Makes Sense

Posted on April 20, 2012 by Norwall PowerSystems

An automatic home standby system is a permanent addition to your home’s electrical system.  Once properly installed your home is protected, you can have peace of mind for your family and home.

They start automatically within moments of a power outage, and eliminate the need to haul a portable generator outside, using extension cords or connecting to a manual transfer switch to restore power.  And, unlike a portable can be operated in direct weather.  Rain, snow or wind won’t affect an automatic home standby generator since they have outdoor rated weather enclosures.

Automatic home standby generators run on natural gas or LP fuel supply something most of you already have in use at your home, it is less expensive to run than gasoline and you don’t have to refill.  Eliminates the hassle of storing gasoline which should be a secure place away from the home out of sunlight and only in approved containers.  Gasoline has a short shelf life, the most popular ethanol fuels may only last 1- 3 months.  Ethanol gasoline also absorbs water, the older the fuel the more water it has which could do damage to your equipment.

24/7 protection, whether you’re home or away.  Automatically starting to immediately protect your most critical areas, sump pumps, humidifiers, heat or air conditioner, refrigerators/freezers, plus lights and security.  Keeping the ambient atmosphere of you home stable, reducing the risk for mold, frozen pipes or flooded basements.

A permanently installed Automatic Home Standby Generator is the recommendation of the American Red Cross, considered safer to use than a portable, reducing the risk of carbon monoxide exposure. An automatic home standby generator is installed outside which will prevent the risk of deadly carbon monoxide poisoning that is more common with portable generators.

Winter Storms and the Extreme Cold Weather

Posted on December 21, 2011 by Norwall PowerSystems

While emergencies from winter conditions vary across the country, almost all Americans, regardless of where they reside, are in all likelihood going to face some type of severe weather storm at some point in their lives. Winter weather can sway between very mild snow flurries that last a few hours, to extreme blizzards that last for days. Many winter snow storms are associated with critically low temperatures, high winds, ice and freezing rain.
