Recent natural disasters are a tragic reminder of the damage and havoc that severe weather events can cause. In northern New Jersey, we are not typically prone to all-out hurricanes and tornadoes are rare—but gale force winds, heavy snows and ice can and do cause widespread power outages to homes and businesses.

A powerful proactive measure is to install a standby home generator. At Bloomfield Cooling, Heating & Electric, Inc. we are a certified dealer and installer of high-quality Generac and Honeywell generators, with industry-leading features that help keep the lights on and appliances running when the power grid is down or power to a location is out.

These hardworking, corrosion-resistant workhorses provide automatic backup power during a power outage, fueled by liquid propane or your home’s natural gas supply. Some models of these standby home generators are now Wi-Fi-equipped, enabling homeowners to more easily and better monitor their system. The Mobile Link™ remote monitoring system lets owners get and share information about the home standby generator from anywhere, 24/7 on any device—a computer, smartphone, or tablet.

Benefits of Wi-Fi on a home generator
– Get notifications of changes in the generator’s operating status
– View the generator’s status and maintenance needs
– Preset the performance test schedule
– Review operation and maintenance history – monitor its service intervals to ensure routine maintenance is performed
– Connect with your dealer for troubleshooting and service needs

Generac home generators come with user-friendly controls with a multilingual LCD display. The controls allow owners to monitor the equipment’s battery status and track maintenance intervals to keep the unit performing at its best. They also run more quietly than other brands and consume less fuel.

Need more reasons to go with Generac or Honeywell standby home generators?

• The unit’s smart technology monitors ambient temperature; that means the engine can warm up prior to taking on load in cold conditions, which reduces wear on the engine.
• The oil filtration feature removes debris, which improves the engine’s durability and delivers a longer engine life.
• A thermal safety switch shuts down the engine and sends an alarm if engine temperatures aren’t optimal; this eliminates premature engine failure by avoiding excess heat.
• The low oil pressure sensor shuts down the engine proactively to prevent damage.

Don’t let your home—and your family—be caught unaware and in the dark.
