LIPA: "Power outages could last for weeks" (newsday 2005)
Where were you on August 14, 2003 when the lights went out? Many of us were searching for batteries for that unused flashlight or radio. No fans, no air conditioning or heating systems, no lights, no refrigeration systems, many with no telephones. We were left to wonder how long we were going to left in the dark. Many of us had memories of hurricane Gloria (1985) and hurricane Bob (1991) racing through our heads. Would we be without power for hours or days? No one knew.
Articles in local newspapers stated that LIPA has major concerns about Long Island’s ability to recover from a major hurricane. While the recovery from the blackout was quick and relatively painless for most of us, LIPA says recovery from a hurricane would not be as quick. We would be without power for days or weeks, not hours.
While some of us were searching for temporary solutions, some Long Islanders were continuing life as usual with a Home Standby generator. Fully automatic, the system detects any interruption of electrical services and engages the power to essential systems. When power is restored, the standby system shuts down, automatically resetting itself.
When electricity is lost-day or night- with a standby power system you can be assured that your home will have all the comfort and convenience your family depends on.
Here at Alternate Power Solutions, we are dedicated to both sales and service. We will provide you with a standby system to suit your needs. Our team of experts will insure that the installation will go smoothly and your system will always be ready to perform when needed. Be prepared for the next outage.
