• "During the last hurricane we had to close our office because we lost electricity, and therefore, we couldn't service our clients who were frantically trying to reach us to file insurance claims. With the PowerReady™ IPS™ we can remain open under almost any circumstances."
    Peggy Waite, State Farm Insurance, Fort Lauderdale, Florida
  • "I discovered the PowerReady™ IPS™ through a patient and purchased one for my medical office shortly thereafter. We've experienced a few power outages since then and the IPS kept my operating room equipment, computers and telephones running seamlessly throughout each. I'm pleased, and the peace of mind it provides is more than worth the modest cost."
    Dr. Dwight Reynolds, Coral Springs, Florida
  • "Our neighbors installed a gas generator after a year of headaches with permitting and installation. It's large, loud and ugly, emits fumes and CO2 and costs them alot to maintain. In fact, during the last outage, it cost them $1260 to run it! When we heard about the PowerReady™ IPS™ we were elated. It's eco-friendly and requires no permitting, no huge investment, no fuel, no money to run and no maintenance! We would recommend it to everyone!"
    Greg Fahs, Hialeah, Florida
  • "Zoning laws in my development prohibit the installation of a standby generator. I searched high and low for a product that's silent, not dangerous to operate and eco-friendly. I was so happy to find the indoor, gas free PowerReady™ IPS™! Not only do I enjoy the security of having it at home, but I've used it 3 times at the office when power failed on the day of a closing!"
    Maria Elena Arias, CEO, Colonial Guarantee & Title, Boca Raton, Florida
  • "My mother uses an oxygen tank, we bought her a PowerReady™ IPS™ in the event of a power loss. Her development lost electricity and it didn't come back on for 3 days! She was on battery power for 72 hours!!! Thanks to PowerReady we have peace of mind."
    Elizabeth Carter, Princeton, New Jersey

Green Generator An Eco-Friendly Way To Power Home After Storm
Few can forget the powerless feeling of being left without power for days during the 2005 hurricane season.

Maria Elena Arias remembers being left in the dark for a week and a half: “There’s no AC. There’s no power. I have a business. I can’t even run my business.” But, for Arias, getting a generator was out of the question. “I’m afraid of lighting my bbq. I’m afraid it’s going to blow up in my face. Let alone a gas powered generator.

“Now there’s an eco-friendly alternative. An indoor power system from PowerReady International. It’s a generator that doesn’t run on fuel — so you’re not polluting the air or creating a hazardous environment. It is so surprisingly quiet you can hear a coin drop and can be recharged using solar panels.

The generator is a great alternative for people who live in high-rises or work in small offices.

Bill Dato of PowerReady International demonstrated how this new generation generator works.

“It’s a proprietary battery system. You have to look at this as a back-up. You have 12,000 watts in the bank,” he said. “If you really operate in survival mode, you’re going to use less than 3,000 watts per day. If you have 12,000 watts in storage, you’re going to have four days’ worth of protection on one charge.

“You can run all kinds of appliances on it, from kitchen items to your home office. There’s an easy-to-use panel that lets you know how many watts you’re using and how many you have left. Appliances can either be plugged into a power strip and then plugged into the generator, or they can be connected through a small load center.

“Let’s just say your home breaker panel is here,” Dato motioned to a space on the wall. “You just mount this right next to them. Then you take the circuits of your main circuit breaker and put them into this little box, such as your fridge.”The unit costs $8900. It’s heavy, but portable. And, you can even camouflage it if you don’t have a lot of storage space. “There’s pretty much no carbon footprint from using this unit. And, it’s made out of recycled materials and it’s also recyclable.”

Homeowner Maria Elena Arias already ordered hers. She plans to keep it in her garage. “Just in time for hurricane season,” she says, vowing not to be caught off guard again. “My business will be off and running. I will have power. So, I will be ok.”
