2005 Hurricane Forecast Prompts Home Owners to Prepare Early
With an above-average 2005 hurricane forecast, demand for electric power generators is already heating up. In 2004, hurricanes Charley, Ivan, Frances, and Jeanne taught many Florida residents a painful lesson - the public power utilities are vulnerable to the forces of Mother Nature. Millions of Florida residents lost power for more than 2 weeks due to storm damage.
(PRWEB) February 17, 2005 -- During the 2004 hurricane season, over 7 million Florida residents were without power for more than 2 weeks due to hurricane damage. The 2004 hurricane season proved that nature can be far more devastating to unprepared homes than previously thought. With another active hurricane season ahead in 2005, some of Florida's homeowners are getting a jump on purchasing electric power generators.
After Charley - the first of the devastating 2004 hurricanes, the demand for generators outpaced the supply. Demand was so high according to Joseph DiSalvo of JDS Electrical Systems (http://www.tampagenerators.com) that none of the home improvement superstores could keep them in stock. Some customers were even turning to roadside peddlers selling underpowered portable generators in Florida mall parking lots for more than three times the retail price.
"The demand for generators is already starting to heat up for 2005." says DiSalvo. "Many of those that were caught by the storms last season are starting to purchase their generators now." If you want a generator before the next storm season, he recommends ordering generators direct from an authorized reseller and knowledgeable installer. Our portable generators will be shipped directly from the manufacturer to your door, and standby generators will be installed and maintained by JDS Electrical Systems, says DiSalvo.
Most people don't know that there are residential standby generators available that can be permanently installed, turn on automatically during a power outage, and power everything in a home including the air conditioner. A lot of customers buy portable generators only to find that they can only generate enough power to run small appliances. According to DiSalvo, if you wait for the next major storm to purchase a generator, you may not receive the appropriately powered generator for your needs.
