Step 1
Without proper planning, it can take several days to restore power to your facility in the event of a natural disaster or disruption of the utility grid. Hawthorne Power Systems strongly recommends contacting an authorized electrical contractor to determine your electrical load and to provide you with a safe and legal method to hook up an auxiliary or standby generator. This same contractor can also make arrangements with your facility to respond anytime, if called upon.

Step 2
There is no substitute for a licensed electrical contractor. However, Hawthorne Power Systems Rental Department offers a free site audit to assist you with the development of your contingency plan.

Step 3
Answer by thinking about the following before the power goes off at your facility.

• How will the generator sets get from the dealership to your facility?
• Where will you put the generator sets?
• How will you get cable from the generator sets outside your building to electrical distribution boxes inside?
• Where will you get cable?
• Can you store enough fuel, safely, close to the area where you plan to keep the generator sets?
• Do you have people on staff who can hook up the generator sets and check to ensure they will operate properly?
