Generator Season!
Generator season begins just before the power goes out.
Every year a few people are caught off-guard when the first storm hits the Island. Meanwhile the Hydro Company seems to have a yearly scramble to restore power to over 1 million residents across the province.
A generator suddenly becomes a vital tool.
Already have a generator? Has it been sitting around for a long time? It's important you check it over before putting it into action.
If you are buying a generator for the first time consult with the experts at Campbell River Boatland. Here is what they say about Honda's Invertor Generators:
“Technically speaking, Honda Invertor Generators create multi-phase, high voltage Act (Alternating Current) and then change it to DC (Direct Current) electronically. This DC voltage is then processed (inverted) into clean stable 120V AC power.
With that said and more importantly, Honda Inverter Generators are ideally suite to most home and recreation applications with a power output between 1000 and 7000 watts.
Inverter circuitry minimizes spikes and fluctuations in the power source and contributes to safer operation with sensitive electronic equipment. From personal computers to sophisticated scientific devices. And don’t forget, all Honda Inverter generators utilize Eco-Throttle technology, which restricts the generators RPM in accordance with the power supply needed.
This makes for lower operating noise levels, cooler running temperatures, and extraordinary fuel economy.”
