BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The record-setting back-to-back hurricane seasons of 2004 and 2005 created an unprecedented demand for automatic standby generator systems for homes in South Florida, and wait times of 10- to 12-months for permitting and installation became commonplace. However, following the quiet 2006 storm season and a variety of changes to update the installation requirements by many South Florida municipal building departments, the long waits for these popular and important new home appliances are a thing of the past. In addition to offering the fixed generator systems that are permanently installed at homes, Frank’s company is also now offering a mobile generator system that can be towed and connected at properties that are equipped with a transfer switch, which PPS also sells and installs. Frank believes this new option, which is ideal for extended families or owners of multiple properties, presents a compelling new alternative for many. Personalized Power Systems sells, installs and maintains automatic standby generator systems and mobile generator systems that power entire homes and small businesses in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. The turn-key automatic standby systems start at $12,500 including all of the necessary permitting and installation, and they run on natural gas or propane from a 500-gallon underground tank and engage automatically within moments of an outage. Depending on the model, they have a run-time of five to eight days using the standard 500-gallon propane tank, which is refilled and delivered by local suppliers, or indefinitely for those connected to a natural gas line. The mobile generator systems with two transfer switches start at $15,000, including all of the necessary permitting and installation of the transfer switches at separate locations. They operate on diesel fuel, which is typically available after hurricanes, are equipped with 50- to 150-gallon fuel tanks and can be towed by most standard SUV and pickup truck vehicles. Additional information on PPS and its automatic standby generators for residences and small businesses is available at www.personalizedpowersystems.com or by calling (561) 391-8190, or toll-free at 1-866-221-8100.
