June 1st marked the beginning of Hurricane Season.
1. Are you ready?
2. Do you have a home standby generator?
3. Has your generator been serviced?
4. Do you have surge protectors installed?
All forecasters are calling for busy hurricane season. However, depending on where you life, many of the preparations you make for hurricane season are preparations you normally need. If your power outages are frequent or last for a long time, a stand by generator can easily be a necessity.
If you own a business, especially one with perishable goods, a generator can easily pay for itself by eliminating your losses due to spoilage or equipment downtime. The same can be said for homeowners; however, for the homeowner it is more a matter of convenience. To go without electricity can be very annoying & stressful. For those that have experienced this, you know exactly what I am talking about. A home without electricity suddenly becomes lifeless and makes you truly appreciate it.
Whether you live in Duval, St. Johns, Nassau or Clay Counties, American Electrical Contracting, is where you need to purchase your home standby generator & surge protection.
Generator Services We Provide:
1. Size – Determine what size generator you need based on your budget & the number of circuits you want to backup. Our backup solutions start as low as $750 if you have a portable generator & need to backup a few circuits, without using extension cords (GenerLink ), to solutions that backup entire homes or commercial buildings.
2. Install – We install the generators that we sized to match your needs. This includes coordinating the installation of your LP (Liquid Propane) tank or the natural gas, necessary to fuel stand by generators.
3. Service – For a generator to run reliably it must be serviced. Our Generator Service Agreement will help to keep your generator running, so when the power goes out you will be ready.
4. Repair – Because generators are electro-mechanical products, once in a while they will need to be repaired. Our factory trained service crews will perform the necessary repairs to get your generator back up & running.
5. Extended Warranty – No matter how well electro-mechanical devices are made, they can fail. With automobiles from Kia to Mercedes warranties protect consumers from expensive repairs. With the optional 5 Year Extended Warranty, Generac Generator customers have protection for an extended period of time.
Indoor Generator
Do you live in a High Rise apartment on Jacksonville Beach, a condo on Fleming Island or a planned community where standby generators are not permitted? Then look at the IPS 12000 Indoor Power System .
Surge Protection
If you live in an area that has frequent power outages, as a result of normal thunder storms or an old power grid, surge protection is a necessity. According to the Insurance Information Institute , damage from surges in 2009 exceeded $1 billion for the first time. While there is no cost effective, reliable, way for the average home owner to stop lightning from hitting their home, good surge protectors, like those installed by American Electrical Contracting, Inc., can control the secondary effects of a lightning strike.
Secondary effect, is energy discharged after the initial strike. This energy can travel up to 2 miles from its initial strike point and can enter your home via your electrical service panel, TV cable or phone line. Any wire entering a building is a potential conduit for external surges. We install surge protection to protect your valuable electronics from multiple surge sources, both inside & outside your home. With the manufacturers life time warranty, these devices will minimize your losses by self sacrificing when the surge is too large for them to control.
Many people do not know about surge protection or erroneously believe because they have a surge protection strip they are fully covered. That is not the case. Read more about surges on this web site by clicking the Surge Protection tab.
Lightning can travel at speeds of 130,000 MPH & reach temperatures of 54,000 degrees. It is silly to think we can stop Mother Nature. However, by cascading protection with multiple surge protectors (TVSS’s) Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor’s, you can minimize or in many cases eliminate losses related to secondary lightning strikes and many other sources of surges. Come to American Electrical Contracting, Inc. with your residential & commercial backup generator requirements, as well as your surge protection needs. We will wire you right at a fair price.
