7 Reasons You Need a California Standby Generator for Your Business
Have you considered what would happen if the power were to just suddenly fail at your business? Maybe you have a portable generator, which is great for emergency power needs. However, it likely will not be able to sustain your operations at the same level as a standby system would during a power failure.
