When it comes to choosing which manufacturers to represent, several things are taken into consideration. Longevity, reputation, variety of selection, and response time are all paramount.

An Indoor Generator™ is a backup power system that is delivered to you fully charged.  The charge is held in the unit’s batteries, which will be available for immediate use the moment you need it.  Everything that requires power from wall outlets will lose its power in the case of an outage.  You can either be left without power or you can implement your home back up power system to stay up and running without worry.

A unit like this is important for people who live in areas where outages and power surges are common.  Even if these occurrences are rare, maintaining power through an outage will provide safety and value in the event that you do lose power.  Also, if you live in a condo or high-rise where gas generators are not allowed, you can still use a battery-powered unit like the Indoor Generator.  Finally, if you have valuable computer or medical equipment, a power outage or surge could destroy them.  Thankfully, an Indoor Generator can prevent this.
