As the cold weather sets in protecting your home and family with a whole house generator makes perfect sense. We all have come to rely on power for our computers, tablets, cell phones as well as household appliances. That being said, heat and hot water are of utmost importance in the winter season. It is not only a mater of comfort and convenience it is a mater of safety. Watch the video above to learn more. Contact Generator Dan
We were hired by Lundbeck research, at 215 College Road in Paramus, NJ. The project consisted of removing their existing 500 KW Caterpillar generator, seen here, and installing a new 1500 KW Cummins generator. Because of the size and the weight of the generator we had to higher a crane that required the installation of extra counterweights due to the massive weight of the new generator.
The enclosure was 14′ wide, and 37′ long. The total weight that we had to lift up with this crane was 71 thousand pounds, and then that had to be strategically set in place over the existing conduits stubbed-up out of the new concrete pad to support all the weight of that generator.
The employees of Academy Electric, seen here straightening out all of the lifting straps, because every one of them has to be strategically located so that when we lift this massive weight, everything comes up nice and even. We are now positioning the straps to get them located into the eight pit points that we had to use to pick up the weight of this generator. Continue reading Installing a new 1500 KW Cummins Generator

Just before spring New Jersey residents got a taste of what serial nor’ easters can do. In fact the entire New York metro area was impacted with power outages and utility company faliures.

As we move from hurricane season into winter storm season, back-up power has become top of mind with the unprecedented power outages left from hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria. But winter storm from nor’easters to ice storms can still cause devastating power outages.
So, what’s the difference between the various standby power sources, and what should you be asking your customers to think about? Primarily, it’s their preferences – how big of a unit do they need; how important are aesthetics and acoustics noise levels; do they need features like remote monitoring and load management? These are the questions that we think about at Cummins when we’re designing a new generator. We examine how each of these factors affects the design of our systems, and then we test those designs and refine them further. It’s what we’ve been doing for almost 100 years.
When we started to design the new Quiet- Connect series of home standby generators, our goal was to create a smaller, quieter gen- erator than previous designs. We thought carefully about the type of sheet metal that we used, its thickness and shape, as well as the air movement scheme and all of the enclosure elements. We moved from carbon steel to aluminum, and studied the noise level, air movement and discharge.

Academy Electrical Contractors install generator sound attenuation material at a NJ rehabilitation center. The town had strict requirements that needed to be adhered to in order for the facility to use the standby generator for their lighting, temperature controls and medical equipment. This video gives you a quick look at the sound attenuation material installation process.
