Choosing to Rent a Commercial Power Generator

Businesses worry about power outages, especially during the hottest or coldest months of the year. Even if the climate is comfortable enough to keep working through an extended outage, what can really be done without power? Also, food stores have the concern of frozen and refrigerated items thawing and spoiling during the time the power is out. High-capacity portable generators provide the most reliable method of acquiring temporary power.

There are high-output portable power generators available to rent that can deliver anywhere from 36 to 1750 kilowatts of power each. The systems can be used to provide full power or supplemental power during disaster situations, or they may be rented to provide on-site power where no power grid connection is available.

Rented generators can be used to power everything from an outdoor concert venue to large Christmas light displays in public parks and other places. A standard planned use of rented power generation equipment may be to power portable industrial heating or cooling equipment when commercial HVAC systems fail or are being replaced.

Hospitals may need to add supplemental power generation during utility grid repairs or powers outages caused by storms. These and other health facilities may have patients on oxygen or other life support and may not be able to have a power outage of any kind without lives being put at risk. Hospitals will need a failsafe, and a generator can provide that.

Full, temporary electric power can be provided anywhere, anytime and for any purpose. There are both skid- and trailer-mounted options to suit specific business needs and there are also combination large scale portable heating, cooling and power generation systems available. These machines are capable of providing temporary climate control to large industrial and commercial buildings during power outages or while repairs and replacements are being implemented.

When businesses face disasters or other issues where they need power from an outside source, Carrier Rental Systems can help. With our generator rentals, we can take care of all the heating, cooling and power production that companies require to keep going.

Air Conditioner Units Prevent Lawsuits and Lost Products

Air conditioner units are an important part of almost any business; by maintaining a comfortable atmosphere, companies ensure that customers are much more likely to revisit an establishment. Lower temperatures are also known to improve employee productivity and will consequently help boost morale. When employees feel more comfortable, after all, they are more likely to do better work.

Air Conditioning is Especially Crucial for Certain Businesses

For certain types of businesses, the atmosphere is crucial. While customers may visit a hot hardware store for a brief period, the same customer is much less likely to remain at a hot restaurant for very long. Of even greater importance, however, is the effect that air conditioner units have on the safety of the food.

Perishable Food

Perishable food that is not kept at an optimal temperature will degrade significantly and quickly, and improperly preserved foods can contribute to the spread of harmful pathogens. Even if refrigerators are functioning properly, any food exposed to hot outside air can begin to spoil. Air conditioner units can ensure that ambient air remains at the proper temperature consistently.

Health Code Violations

Given the dangers of improperly preserved foods, grocery stores and restaurants that do not have adequate air conditioning can violate health codes and may be closed down, in addition the health hazards posed by overly warm air and fluctuating interior temperatures.

Crashing Computers

Another area where air conditioning is crucial is in the IT and computer industries. Since computers generate high levels of heat, buildings with inadequate air conditioning encounter frequent technical problems, as hot air takes a toll on components and reduces the lifespan of hardware. It is crucial that businesses with large numbers of computers, such as IT departments and data centers, install properly-functioning air conditioning units.

Save Money and People with the Right Equipment Rental

From our experience, we know that emergencies can happen anywhere, at any time. Some emergencies only impact an individual, while other emergencies can impact an entire city or state. Typically, hurricanes, floods and tornadoes are emergencies that impact a large portion of the population. In such emergencies, we ensure that the right equipment is available to help crews, hospitals, schools, shelters and more.

The problem that many of these facilities face is twofold. Firstly, a typical school or hospital, for example, will not have access to emergency equipment. They may have generators on hand, but it's unlikely that they'll have items like hand pumps and tow trucks available, should damage in their area or in their facility require them to do major cleanup.

The second problem that these facilities face is that often the people who work there are required to stay where they are--which means that they cannot leave to bring in equipment, should they need it.

There is one simple solution to both of the above problems and that is equipment rental, which can include everything from generators and pumps to portable heaters and dehumidifiers. What's more, many rental companies have a delivery policy in place so that the equipment can be brought  where it's needed during or after an emergency without a facility having to spare employees or volunteers to pick it up.

The cost is a great benefit, as well. It's unlikely that most public facilities have a regular need for any kind of heavy-duty emergency equipment. Purchasing industrial generators, for example, can cost thousands of dollars; the trucks and trailers that would be needed in order to transport the equipment would also cost a large sum. To avoid excess expenditures, organizations can simply rent the things they require on an as-needed basis from our company.

Those in charge of a business are often faced with handling multiple issues at once when dealing with an emergency. If company leaders are looking for ways to streamline the emergency process and avoid the confusion and chaos, call Carrier Rental Systems. Our equipment can be easily obtained even under the direst circumstances.

Cost-Saving Tips for Businesses Using Heater Rentals after Natural Disasters

After the devastation caused by hurricane Sandy, which recently ravaged the east coast, one of the main problems is the lack of heat that results from disrupted HVAC systems. Cold offices can be distracting for workers, lower their morale, and even create an unsafe working environment for them.

If your company seeks to retain smooth operations during and after weather events similar to Sandy, you may need a heater rental to keep your office warm until power has been restored. We offer a variety of different unit sizes with varying heat outputs and, by taking a few factors into consideration, you can determine the best unit for your establishment.

Determining the Size of the Work Area

The first step to follow when obtaining an emergency heating unit is to determine the size of the area that must be heated: sometimes, the entire space requires a consistent temperature; at other times only heating a smaller portion of the job site is necessary. For instance, if a specific area will not have personnel, it may be unnecessary for the heater rental to warm that area.

Heat Distribution

Portable heaters typically use a fan to distribute the heat. While this might be adequate for smaller spaces, you will often need flexible ducting to distribute heat in the event that the work site is larger.

Safety Considerations

It is also important to consider safety requirements when obtaining the heater. You might not be able to use a heater near open flames, and certain types, while excellent for heating large spaces, can present a fire hazard in small, crowded spaces.

Unique Business Requirements

When cutting costs, it is crucial to identify whether certain areas of the building have special heating requirements. For example, certain paints require temperatures that are within a specific range in order to dry and cure. HVAC units may be necessary to reduce humidity that could be damaging to certain business equipment and supplies.

Regardless of your needs, we at Carrier Rental Systems can provide the best heater rental for your job site. We will work with you to determine exactly what you need in order to avoid any setbacks due to inclement weather.

Heater Rentals Offer Convenient Options for Moving Sensitive Merchandise

For businesses with temperature-sensitive merchandise, moving to a new location can be a problem. A livestock owner transporting live animals must keep them from freezing on the way, and the owner of a plant nursery must protect delicate plants from low temperatures. Heaters may be necessary to prevent damage, but buying heaters for a single move is a lavish expenditure most businesses cannot afford.

The answer is to rent heaters. The option saves business owners money and keeps difficulties to a minimum. The renter picks the heaters up when they're needed and turns them in when he or she is done with them, so that the machines only have to be transported when they are being used. With rental heaters, maintenance and repair are not a business owner's problem.

Our portable 15 KW heaters are small, light, and easy to move, with solid construction that ensures durability and safety in operation. The well-built casing and grille make sure that neither the wiring nor the heating elements can come in contact with animals or flammable materials in the shipping space.

Our larger models include the 60 KW, which has a wheeled mount for easy portability, the containerized 75 KW model, and the big 150 and 360 KW models for bigger jobs. Our large selection of designs includes a heater rental for every location and function.

Equipped with one of these units, any business can move its live or sensitive merchandise without worry. Animals need not suffer discomfort or danger from cold and plants can be kept safe from wilting.

Why should renters buy heaters that they may never use again? Renting offers all of the advantages of mobile heating, but keeps the expense and bother to a minimum.
