Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of the Quebec economy. Whether it's a service office, workshop, store, or warehouse, all of these businesses share one thing in common: they rely on electricity to operate efficiently. A power outage can result in the complete cessation of activities, loss of income, deterioration of stocks or delivery delays. In a competitive economic context, every minute counts. That is why the Generac automatic generators, combined with ERCO's expertise, represent an essential solution for SMEs wishing to guarantee the continuity of their operations, regardless of the circumstances.
Power outages can have disastrous consequences for a business. Whether it's the loss of data, the shutdown of computer equipment, industrial refrigerators, or production tools, every minute of interruption is expensive. Some SMEs, such as clinics, florists, restaurants or convenience stores, have perishable products that can be irretrievably lost. Others, such as service firms or mechanical workshops, may see their credibility and production times affected. In this context, investing in a backup energy solution becomes a strategic and profitable choice in the long term.
Generac generators for commercial use are designed to start automatically as soon as a network outage is detected. The device is connected to the company's main electrical system, and critical equipment is powered continuously, with no visible interruption. Unlike manual generators, the automatic model requires no personnel intervention, which is a crucial advantage in case of absence or emergency. These generators are powered by natural gas or propane, two clean and easily available fuels. The return to the main network is also done without human action, which ensures a smooth resumption of operations.
Having an automatic generator also means displaying an image of professionalism and reliability to your customers. You can meet your commitments, deliver on time, keep your billing systems active, and avoid downtime. This ability to maintain your activities in the face of the unexpected becomes a significant competitive advantage. It may also be required by certain industrial standards or insurance companies, particularly in the agri-food, medical or technological sectors. The Generac generator thus becomes a strategic tool, much more than a simple plan B.
Contrary to popular belief, an automatic generator is not only reserved for large companies. The models for SMEs are compact, efficient, and financially accessible. Their cost is quickly amortized thanks to the savings made during avoided breakdowns: no loss of production, stock or turnover. In addition, some grants or financing programs may be available for this type of equipment. The ERCO team supports SMEs to find the most profitable solution, according to their needs, their size, and their budgetary constraints.
