San Jose Backup Power

Summer is almost here, and San Jose stands to find itself in the middle of rolling blackouts.

Back in 2020, no less a figure than San Jose’s Mayor Sam Liccardo blasted PG&E for extended blackouts that affected the area. After a weekend that saw much of the city plunged into darkness, the mayor stated that “the poor state of repair and replacement” of PG&E’s electrical infrastructure was the direct cause.

With PG&E taking refuge under its bankruptcy protection, you can bet that not much has changed. We should do our best to learn from the lessons of the summer of 2020 and be prepared.

Due to COVID-19, any upgrades to electrical delivery systems that were planned have fallen by the wayside. Not surprisingly, such activities will now have to wait even longer – Northern California’s electrical grid simply doesn’t have the spare capacity to go under prolonged maintenance at the height of summer.

What does it all mean for San Jose area business owners?

That comes down to one simple question:

Are you prepared for this year’s rolling blackouts?

Get Ready for Rolling Blackouts with a Free Power Analysis

Every time a blackout happens, it places more stress on your wiring system.

Many commercial buildings in San Jose are 20 years old or even older. Think about it: The internet barely had any traction with the public then, and the mobile revolution was still years away. Even with the best plans and the highest construction standards, no one could have anticipated the demands businesses must meet today.

From computer systems to critical medical equipment and beyond, virtually everything used by a modern San Jose business relies on robust, high-quality electrical service. But even if your lights don’t flicker, you could still be absorbing voltage sags and spikes that diminish performance and shorten your equipment’s lifespan.

How do you know? A comprehensive power analysis is the key.

Whether you’re planning to buy a backup power system or not yet sure whether a backup power system is right for you, a power analysis helps you make more informed choices. It will give you important information you can use to protect your people and your investments.

So, just what can you find out from a power analysis?
