Tornado season is here, and it’s a time of great uncertainty for many businesses. Tornado season in the United States typically runs from March through June, with the peak months being April and May. However, tornadoes can occur at any time of year, and they have been known to happen in every month. A single tornado can cause millions of dollars in damage, and even a small one can disrupt operations for days or weeks. The threat of power outages and other damage can be overwhelming. But there is one thing you can do to help protect your business during tornado season: invest in a backup generator.

Why Should My Business Invest in a Backup Generator?
A backup generator can provide power during a power outage due to a tornado, which can help to protect your business from a number of risks. For example, a power outage can spoil food, damage equipment, and disrupt customer service. In some cases, a power outage can even lead to the loss of data. A backup generator can also help to keep your employees safe. In the event of a tornado, a power outage can make it difficult to operate safety equipment, such as fire alarms and sprinkler systems. A backup generator can help to keep these systems running, which can help to protect your employees from injury or death. If you are looking for a way to prepare your business for tornado season, a backup generator is a must-have, and Alterra Power Systems is the company to work with!

How Does a Backup Generator Work?
Backup generators work by providing a source of power to a business during a power outage. This can be essential for businesses that need to keep their operations running, even during a tornado. Generators can be powered by a variety of fuels, including diesel, natural gas, and propane. They are typically installed outside of the building, and they are connected to the building's electrical system. When the power goes out, the generator automatically starts up and provides power to the building. Generators can provide power to a variety of systems in a business, including lighting, HVAC, and security systems. They can also be used to power equipment, such as computers and machinery.
