Generator Forecast 2006: Generators Could Be In Short Supply This Hurricane Season
Chicago, IL (ContentDesk) March 22, 2006 -- Hurricane season is still two months away, but the mad rush for emergency power generators has already started. ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com (http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com), an online generator superstore carrying the leading generator brands, is already experiencing a huge surge in generator sales this Spring. A lot of people are still rebuilding from Katrina, Rita and Wilma, said Jon Hoch, founder of ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com (http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com). Theyre not waiting for a tropical depression to form before they start preparing for hurricane season. Generator manufacturers ran out of inventory three years in a row. Last year, it took them until January to replenish inventories from the 2005 Hurricane season.
Do the math, warns Hoch. The manufacturers only have a couple months to build massive inventories. Plus, a lot of the portable generators will be gone before Hurricane season officially starts. He warns that even if the manufacturers have the capacity to build more generators, they might not have the parts. Engines and other key components are already in tight supply. In addition, retailers are changing their models to accommodate for limited inventory.
ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com, for example, ordinarily does not stock any portable gas generators. All of the orders are drop shipped from the factory to the customers door. This year, however, the online retailer is stocking its warehouse with hundreds of best selling models. The generators are available through the companys Same-Day Shipment program. (http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com/catalog/samedayshipment.php)The Brief Calm Before the Storm According to Hoch, emergency generator prices are influenced by the simple economics of supply and demand.
"The best time to buy a generator is between power outages, when supplies are plentiful and promotions are prevalent," says Hoch. Right now, manufacturers have limited quantities of generators in stock. However, dont expect this surplus to last very long. If you wait until after the storm hits to get a generator, theres a good chance that you either wont get one or youll pay way too much for it. Last year, stores sold out in a matter of hours. Many desperate homeowners had no choice but to buy overpriced professional-grade generators with features they'd never use.
And some customers waited up to four months to receive their backordered generator. ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com (http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com) is an online generator superstore owned and operated by Power Equipment Direct, Inc. (http://www.powerequipmentdirect.com). The e-tailer currently carries most of the leading generator brands, including Yamaha (http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com/catalog/default.php?manufacturers_id=29&page=1&sort=4a) and Guardian (http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com/catalog/default.php?manufacturers_id=23&page=1&sort=4a).The company also maintains PressureWashersDirect.com (http://www.pressurewashersdirect.com) and AirCompressorsDirect.com (http://www.aircompressorsdirect.com)..
Transfer of Power How to Safely Restore Power to Your Home
Hurricane Charley is quickly teaching homeowners a valuable lesson about taking electricity for granted.
The Category Four hurricane knocked out power to nearly a million homes in Florida, and many residents are still living without power.
Homeowners are now using portable generators in record numbers to safely restore power to their homes.
"Getting a generator is one thing," says Jon Hoch, founder of Electric Generators Direct.com (http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com). "Getting the electricity into the house is another."According to Hoch, extension cords are fine for small generators because you can only plug in one or two appliances.
The most common way to use a portable electric generator is to place it outdoors, then run extension cords through an open window or door to the chosen appliances.
Extension cords have several drawbacks. First, most extension cords can...

MAJOR GENERATOR SHORTAGE: Electric Generators Direct.com Now Taking Backorders on All Portable Generators
The effects of Hurricane Charley and Frances are being felt far beyond Florida. The tag team tandem just put the entire portable generator marketplace on backorder. In Ohio, Tony Holder tried to purchase a generator at his local home improvement store, only to find the shelves empty with the entire inventory on a truck headed south. In Florida, new generators are as scarce as snowballs, with the demand overshadowing the supply. Customers are forced to wait in long lines with lottery numbers, hoping for a "chance" to get one of the few arriving generators.
Many customers, who were simply unable or unwilling to wait, jumped online to purchase generators directly from the manufactures. Even this supply evaporated.
Electric Generators Direct.com (http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com), an online generator superstore that dropships directly from the manufacturer's warehouses, is completely sold out. The...
