Radiant heat is clean, portable, and extremely efficient. Radiant heat penetrates evenly on and into surfaces just like sunlight. It heats people and objects rather than air or space. Radiant heat travels in straight lines and does not rise to the ceiling like hot air. This green machine radiant heater has zero heat transfer loss when utilized outdoors because of weather conditions like rain, snow, or high winds. They are great for temporary smoking areas during special events, modeling shoots, and entrance-ways. Each unit emits 41,000 watts of heat and have a built in thermostat and high/low switch.

Our portable radiant heaters are safe too with overheat protection, over voltages detector and tip-over switch. And unlike other heaters, radiant heaters do not produce any type of odor or smoke while they are running. If you need emergency heat in any type of business feel free to use our radiant heater as it will not disturb people since it is portable, it is on wheels and has no fan.

No one is ever ready for a power outage or a short circuit, but being prepared is the best solution. Such as having a contingency plan or back up plan. When these outages occur Eleccomm Power Services is there to serve your business at anytime. We understand that power is vital to keeping a business running smoothly, not only for the company but also if the company provides support to others. Here is a list of important entities that should always have emergency back up power.

• Hospitals and Outpatient Surgery Clinics

Hospitals and outpatient surgery clinics are an obvious choice for emergency power equipment. Without it, a power outage could cause widespread casualties in emergency care units, critical care units, and during the course of operations. Today's hospitals and outpatient clinics depend on electricity for a majority of their treatments and life preserving techniques, making back up generators an absolute necessity in any hospital or outpatient surgery clinic.

• Police Departments

When the power goes out in a metropolitan area police know to expect more crimes, But if the power goes out in police departments, what would be a difficult situation could turn into catastrophe more than moonlight illuminates the streets. Because most police departments don't have heavy electricity needs, a single industrial scale generator usually supplies enough power to last until the power company addresses an outage.

• Retail Stores

Most retail stores simply close their doors until a power outage is resolved. But if they have a back up generator, they can conduct business while their competition literally remains in the dark.

• Data Centers

Data centers are another obvious choice as their very function depends heavily on uninterrupted power supply. Most data centers are well equipped with generators, protecting information that could cause companies and individuals alike severe difficulty if it were lost.

• Laboratories

Depending on the nature of their work, laboratories often need uninterrupted power supply to ensure that projects occur as planned. From animal and plant studies to situations where pharmaceuticals are being produced, most laboratories can't afford to do without a steady supply of electricity.

• Prisons and Jails

Keeping prisons and jails supplied with electricity isn't a matter of keeping inmates' cells and recreation areas lit; it's a matter of keeping inmates incarcerated. Today, most prisons and jails use security systems that are at least partially powered by electricity, using powerful magnetic locks to secure cells and various points of passage.

Providing emergency power supply to these businesses is what Eleccomm is all about. Our certified, safety-trained technicians provide fast, reliable service with our state-of-the-art, EPA certified fleet of equipment. Contact us today to learn more information about back up generators and other products we have to offer. 

Disasters, such as flooding or ice storms have a far reaching economic impact. As we find ourselves in recovery mode some business owners are asking themselves when and if they can re-open. With issues ranging from the physical loss of property or product to loss of vendors and customers the U.S. Department of Labor says that over 40% of businesses never reopen after a disaster.

So many circumstances are beyond our control as business owners, but one thing we can do it plan. Contingency plans or disaster plans can be scary to think about because we are planning for something we hope will never happen. It isn't a plan B, it's a worse case scenario. Recovery after a disaster can take many avenues so make sure you have your plan set up and ready just in case.

You'll need to assess your damage. Everything from minor to total loss should be documented. Having a comprehensive inventory of your office plus any product loss will help expedite insurance and federal aid and will be important when claiming the loss on your taxes. Overall finances can take a serious hit during a disaster, especially in circumstances where both the home and the office have been lost.

Creating a plan and executing isn't always easy when there are so many other irons in the fire. Here is a list of the information in a common contingency plan.

• Important Contact Numbers
• Office equipment list and photos
• List of software
• List of online tools and passwords to access them
• Back up hard drive of all files
• Copy of the business plan.
• A check list of what needs to get up and running in case a total lost occurs

It can seem like a bit too much, but once it's done it's just a matter of reviewing it every year and hoping you never have to use it. Anything from a complete computer crash to a natural disaster can shut a business down. Being prepared can help get you in to action mode and help you make sound decisions on the future of your business. ElecComm Power Services deals with many emergency power solutions, which is why we know that emergencies can also include creating a contingency plan. Contact us today should you need any kind of generator rental or rental of any other emergency product we offer.

We rent emergency generators for numerous reasons, with resolving emergency power outages, supplying power during a planned project that will compromise commercial power, and meeting a temporary rise in energy demand being the most common. ElecComm Power Services supply them on a singular or a group basis, with the latter being common for regional power outages and outages in large facilities. In addition to renting generator equipment, we rent other electrical equipment as well, such as load banks, electrical distribution units, fuel tanks, and various power accessories.

Load banks are typically used to test power sources to ensure their proper function under the real life conditions that load banks simulate by creating a power load and applying it to a power source.

Distribution units serve as power distribution hubs within an electrical network. Common examples of rented distribution equipment are: transformers that feature rugged, all weather construction and are available in low voltage and high voltage design; portable, all weather electrical panels that facilitate loads as low as 100 amps and loads as high as 2,000 amps; and condensed switchboards that facilitate loads as high as 3,000 amps.

If you need generators for longer than 48 hours, you may need to rent additional fuel tanks to power them. The tanks come in 500 gallon and 1000 gallon, with the latter being optimal for construction sites.

When renting major power equipment it is best to rent the accessories you would need for the specific product. Such as power cables with a distribution panel or even a fuel tank if you're going to be using a generator for long periods of time. We have many other products available for rental to our commercial clients. Feel free to browse our selection and let us be you one-stop solution for all your power needs.

When there is bad weather such as hurricane, tornado, ice, or even just a thunder storm you can experience a power failure. Commercial emergency rental generators can help during those times the power is down. Especially if your business is left without any power for a long time. Industrial commercial generators will keep your appliances and equipment still running when your power is down.

During powerful storms when a large area can be left without power, generators are in high demand. Ensure that your business is not left struggling to find a commercial generator still available, by renting one ahead of time. Do not wait until your power goes out to seek one. Its better to have one that you didn’t need as oppose to not having one that you did need.

You can rent a commercial generator as small as 20 kilowatts or as big as 2 megawatts or more. To estimate the generator size you will need, you will first need to determine what your purpose in getting one is for. What appliances and equipments are you wanting to run with the generator?

Once you have figured out what you will need to run during a power outage and the watts for each appliance, you can then figure out the size of the commercial generator needed. It is very important that you get a generator with the right size, otherwise you can overheat your appliances and the generator.

For business who cannot afford to lose power for long periods of time, renting a commercial generator can help. If you own a business, you should seek out a rental company in your surrounding areas that will deliver a generator to you quickly. When searching for a generator rental store, make sure they deliver your generator along with an electrician who will install it for you. Some companies will leave you to install it on your own.

Just because you are in need of an emergency generator, does not mean you have to rent out a costly one. If you suspect you might have power failure, seek out rental companies in your area ahead of time. Learn the different rental stores out there and find the most affordable one for you.

Remember to keep your generator running out doors and not inside your building or garage, since it runs on fuel. Emergency rental generators can help in those times when you experience a power failure. The right generator can really come in handy.

The demand for commercial generator rentals from commercial business owners has more than doubled in the the past few years. Power interruptions that have become very common it‘s the reason for the high demand with regard to machines. This is backed through the proven fact that almost everything right now operates on electricity there are lots of electric devices that are going close to in line with the constant progress from the technical globe. When confronted with the requirement for electrical power, it is not usually feasible to buy a generator. Thus, concept of renting out the same grew to become feasible.

Whilst renting an electrical generator is more convenient than buying one, it’s still necessary that one has adequate understanding on the type or even class or type of generator that company wants to rent. This is helpful, in terms of understanding how to keep it and what kind of fuel it needs, for it to operate efficiently. The size range we rent is 20kw-2000kw. While we offer many products that should just give you an idea of how much we have to offer.

In connection with this, it must end up being pointed out that the actual newer models or even more portable models are simple to manage and easy to run. Moreover, these types of designs include lesser exhaust as well as higher functionality. Additionally, increasingly more products are made environmentally friendly.

It is evident that leasing energy generator is more convenient compared to bought ones. To begin with, the expense are greatly reduced, since it is only going to pertain to a specific time period once the need for power occurs. Secondly, they are portable, and may be transported even just in the most remote rural areas. There can also be the additional benefit of much less maintenance price since it is going to be returned when use is no longer required. So if your commercial business is in need of a portable generator feel free to contact us today and we'll be happy to answer and questions you may have and help you on your way to powering your business.

If your work space is full of heat generating electrical and electronics, then you definitely need some heat removal system to save yourself and your equipments. Air conditioning is one way of doing it.

A transformer is electronic equipment which is designed to carry electricity from one voltage and transform it into a new voltage. A transformer which is bought in use can be classified into two broad categories: power supply and signal matching. This device is purely based on extreme straightforward details concerning about the electricity: when an uneven electric current runs through a wire, it generates a magnetic field everywhere around it.

The power of magnetism is directly related to size of electric power. As a result the higher the voltage of the power, the stronger will be the magnetic field. When a magnetic field amends around a part of wire, it generates electric current in the wire.

Electrical transformers renovates from one value to another. It is a set of two or more helixes and ferromagnetic core which is known to be as winding. This methodology includes two sets of coils which are connected with the help of a magnetic field. Two coils namely primary and secondary are also known to function as conductors. At some instances when AC voltage is obtained by primary coil it produces a changeable magnetic field current in the region of the conductor.

At ElecComm Power Services, we can supply transformers to tie in with our generator and equipment rentals. We offer many different sizes, voltages and configurations. We are focused on 24/7 turnkey emergency power solutions. All of our products meet all major industry standards. Contact us today should you need a commercial generator or transformer with any of our rentals.

One of the most useful tools in the realm of power generation is the load bank - a self-contained device that applies electrical loads to a power source, then converts or dissipates the resulting power. Power generation entails a number of different resources, tools, and solutions, ranging from generators and transformers to fuel tanks and power accessories. But one of the most useful tools in the realm of power generation is the load bank.

The purpose is to mimic the actual load that a power source will see in application. So, while a real load is served by an actual power source, a load bank serves the power source and uses its energy output to test, support or protect that source. This method of power generation is beneficial in that while a real load is often unpredictable and random in value; the load applied from a load bank provides an organized and controllable load.

Load banks - particularly applicable to the shipping, oil and gas, and utilities industries - can be put to various uses - one of the most common being in power system testing. For instance, many companies will need to test their lower power factor simulation, frequency converters, or entire electrical systems - often for maintenance purposes. And doing so can prevent the risk of costly power failures, as well as maximize efficient production during routine maintenance. Another common use is in the construction of gas turbine platforms and the commissioning of newly installed turbine or diesel generators. And finally, they are valuable tools in the reduction of wet stacking problems, periodic 'exercising' of generator equipment, battery testing, and the removal of carbon build-up on certain electrical or power generation equipment.

Load banks come in various sizes, and with different power-factor testing capabilities. What's more, they're available in portable and compact forms, enabling use in a range of spaces. Feel free to contact us at any time should you have any questions about load banks or power services and we’ll be happy to help.
