New and Used Generators<\/h3>\n<p>\nFor many businesses, the most economical and dependable backup power system is a permanently installed standby generator and automatic transfer switch (ATS). With this system, in the event of a power outage the generator will start up automatically and provide power to the facility, building, or business. When the utility power is restored, the generator will automatically shut off. This is a typical permanent solution that when properly maintained, will provide dependable backup power.\n<\/p>\n<h3>2. Mobile Diesel Generators<\/h3>\n<p>\nOther businesses may prefer to have a mobile diesel generator on hand, so that in the event of a power outage, the generator can be moved to a facility and connected to the building\u2019s pre-wired generator connections. This allows more flexibility when needed and can allow the generator to be allocated between multiple locations and potentially moved out of the path of a major storm.\n<\/p>\n<h3>3. UPS Backup Systems<\/h3>\n<p>\nMany facilities with sensitive electrical equipment require integrated uninterruptible power systems to provide clean uninterrupted power. Often used in combination with one or multiple standby generators, UPS systems provide power from the moment any power loss occurs, until the backup generator starts and handles the electrical load.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n At Global Power Supply, we are experts in providing high-quality emergency backup power systems for businesses nationwide, including diesel generators, natural gas generators, and UPS systems. We offer generator and UPS system rentals for planned or emergency situations, as well as sales of new and used generators and UPS systems from the top manufacturers in the industry. Additionally, we offer a full turnkey service option, in which we take care of all aspects of the project from design, permits, installation, startup and maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Global Power Supply&#8217;s generators in critical applications <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalpwr.com\/contact\/\">contact us<\/a> today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Above-average Atlantic temperatures set the stage for busy season just ahead.
