Companies and organizations that need emergency power supply services need to consider generator rentals.

When comparing generator rental prices, be sure you are comparing apples to apples. The cost includes: the type of fuel, pickup or delivery, the length of the contract, the voltage, and any special features. Keep in mind that a unit that uses natural gas, or a natural gas and diesel mixture, instead of pure diesel will be more economical. When the equipment is needed long-term your best option is a lease agreement instead of a rental contract.

Keep in mind too that the size or type of the unit you need is entirely dependant on your voltage requirements. A unit that is too small can result in power failure or unsafe situations; a unit that is too large is just a waste of money. Be sure to consult with ElecComm Power when considering your generator needs.

A 25 foot section of wall collapsed in Dorchester Saturday morning.

The unexpected collapse took down electrical lines, knocking out power to the adjacent Venezia Restaurant.

The warehouse wall collapsed in the wrong direction during the demolition in the Port Norfolk section of Dorchester bringing down power lines but causing no injuries, according to the Boston Fire Department.

Venezia Waterfront Restaurant at 20 Ericsson St., is adjacent to the one-story wood warehouse being demolished.

NSTAR brought in an emergency generator to power up the restaurant which had a large function scheduled.  The rental generator was provided by ElecComm Power Services in Hyde Park.

An employee at Venezia Waterfront Restaurant said the restaurant power was restored by the rental generator and was open for business while NSTAR repaired the lines. Venezia was also able to host its three scheduled functions because of the emergency generator despite the surprise loss of power.

These include dealing with electrically locked doors, elevator and stairwell lighting, loss of critical care functioning, main computer system loss, and radiology equipment problems.
