11/1/2022 (Permalink)
Our teams in Hesperia/Apple Valley and Barstow/Twentynine Palms are trusted leaders in commercial storm damage restoration. Winter is coming and power outages are known to happen when storms blow through Yucca Valley.
The Insurance Institute of Business and Home Safety offers these tips to help businesses prepare for power outages by servicing your generator:
The time to maintain a generator is well before a major storm or disaster strikes (when professional assistance may be unavailable, power lines are down, and access roads are blocked). Backup power can help maintain a consistent building temperature and reduce the risk of freezing pipes leading to business disruption and damage.
Permanent
- Permanent generators should have a proper maintenance plan that includes weekly, monthly, and annual checks. See the manufacturer’s specifications for more information.
- Run the unit weekly on its maintenance plan to ensure it is properly functioning in case of an emergency. Individual units may have a timer that allows a programmed test to be scheduled, and qualified personnel should oversee these scheduled weekly tests.
- Check the generator enclosure for loose debris or other conditions that could cause the unit not to function properly.
Portable
- Store in a dry location
- Set up a maintenance schedule to include periodic test runs for the unit
