Hurricane Warning: Rush for Emergency Generators is Already Underway in 2005
The official start of Hurricane Season is still a month away, but the rush for emergency supplies has already begun. Electric Generators Direct.com (http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com), an online emergency generator superstore, is already experiencing stronger than usual demand for portable and standby generators. According to Jon Hoch, founder of the Romeoville, Ill.-based e-tailer, last year's quartet of Hurricanes severely altered the generator marketplace.Manufacturers built enough inventory to weather Hurricane Charley. But when Hurricane Frances blew ashore, every remaining generator in the country evaporated. Local hardware stores sold out in a matter of hours.
Many desperate homeowners had no choice but to buy overpriced professional-grade generators with features they'd never use. And some customers waited up to four months to receive their backordered generator. "By the time Ivan and Jean hit, it was impossible to find a reconditioned generator, let alone a new one," say Hoch. The Calm Before the Storm Climatologist William Gray recently revised his 2005 hurricane forecast, predicting 13 named tropical storms in the Atlantic, seven of which will become hurricanes, with three turning into major storms with winds clocking speed in excess of 111 miles per hour. Generator manufacturers are working overtime to replenish their inventories.
Many popular models are finally off backorder for the first time since last August. According to Hoch, now is the best time to purchase an emergency generator in nearly a year. "Generator prices are influenced by the simple economics of supply and demand," says Hoch. "The best time to buy is between power outages, when supplies are plentiful and promotions are prevalent."Even reconditioned generators, which were impossible to find just a few months ago, are slowly becoming available. But don't expect the inventory to last long, warns Hoch.Last year, millions of homeowners learned the importance of advanced emergency planning the hard way.
This year, however, many homeowners aren't willing to wait for a tropical storm to develop before bracing for the worst.

Who Needs a Standby Generator?
Most of us take electricity for granted.
When we flip the light switch, we expect the light to turn on.
When we plug in the electric grill, we expect it to be ready before the neighbors arrive for the backyard cookout.
If there's a power outage, everyone immediately calls the electric company to complain and ask how long they'll have to wait before the electricity comes back on.
But what happens when the electricity goes out for days at a time, like when a hurricane or other natural disaster destroys the power lines?
Or what happens in a place like a hospital, where even a short power outage could cause the failure of a life-sustaining respirator or a doctor's operating tools, resulting in the death of a patient?
What about the thousands of food manufacturers, grocery stores, and restaurants, which might have to throw away thousands of dollars worth of refrigerated food every time the electricity goes out for a short time?

Generators are used for the generation of electric power. There are basically two types of generators: standby generators and portable generators. Generators ensure that most of the essential appliances can be run whenever there is a power outage. Standby generators provide backup power in homes and offices and are permanently installed outside the house or office building. They are plugged into the electric circuits or home wiring.
Standby generators can automatically detect disruption in the usual electric supply and begin supplying power within a few seconds. Portable generators are usually used in places where there is no supply of power or the need for power is less such as on construction sites camps. These generators are sufficient for lighting and to run appliances like televisions, refrigerators, sump pumps and furnaces.
Generators are available in varying size and output power. The choice of buying the right type of generator depends upon a number of factors...
