2012 Hurricane Predictions

Hurricane season is from June 1- Nov. 3rd. 

The count down has begun , only 51 days away.

Overall, the predictions are not dire for 2012. The season is being forecast to be relatively tame. Forecasters seem to agree mostly that there is a probability of 12 named storms and out of the 12 named storms, seven possibly will develop into hurricanes.

Out of the seven hurricanes, three of these are being predicted to be "Major"  hurricanes in scope with winds sustaining 111 mph or more. This would place them at a minimum at Category 3 status on the Saffir-Simpson scale.

Most the landfall models are predicting fairly close or normal landfall of storms along the United States coastline. The Gulf of Mexico coastline and the coastline of Florida are being given an elevated chance of landfall over the East Coast in 2012.

Which means Houstonians need to prepare. From our past experiences we know one major Hurricane hitting the Gulf is all it takes to put the city and surrounding counties in a state of Chaos.

No power, long lines at the gas stations,low fuel supply, increased cost of fuel, low food supply,loss of food  due to no electricity and massive amounts of traffic from evacuees.
Brings back alot of unpleasant memories for most people in the area.
There are several ways to prepare, and we at AA Genpro are here to help you in the area of back up power
supply. We install natural gas or propane generators to homes and business. The process from start to finish usually takes 4 to 6 weeks for install, so now is the perfect time to get started . To ensure your generator will be installed when storms come into the Gulf.
No need for you to be out , trying to get gas, food, trying to stay cool, ect. With standby power when the power is lost, it restores your power in 25 seconds and your  household is running like normal. Your food stays cold, your air condition will run as normal, your T.V is working, your cook top, ect. 

No need to go stay in a hotel miles and miles away from home, or try to keep gas to run a portable that will not run the majority of your needs, they are loud and tend to be a hassle. Not bashing portables, but when Hurricane Ike came through many were with out power for 2 weeks . That is a lot of gas to go through, especially trying to keep everyone cool in the Texas heat.
There is no need to go through all this hassle when we can help you.


Here is a list of the named storms for 2012.

Time to start preparing for Hurricane season....

Before a Hurricane

To prepare for a hurricane, you should take the following measures:

• To begin preparing, you should build an emergency kit and make a family communications plan.
• Know your surroundings.
• Learn the elevation level of your property and whether the land is flood-prone. This will help you know how your property will be affected when storm surge or tidal flooding are forecasted.
• Identify levees and dams in your area and determine whether they pose a hazard to you.
• Learn community hurricane evacuation routes and how to find higher ground. Determine where you would go and how you would get there if you needed to evacuate.
• Make plans to secure your property:
• Cover all of your home’s windows. Permanent storm shutters offer the best protection for windows. A second option is to board up windows with 5/8” marine plywood, cut to fit and ready to install. Tape does not prevent windows from breaking.
• Install straps or additional clips to securely fasten your roof to the frame structure. This will reduce roof damage.
• Be sure trees and shrubs around your home are well trimmed so they are more wind resistant.
• Clear loose and clogged rain gutters and downspouts.
• Reinforce your garage doors; if wind enters a garage it can cause dangerous and expensive structural damage.
• Plan to bring in all outdoor furniture, decorations, garbage cans and anything else that is not tied down.
• Determine how and where to secure your boat.
• Install a generator for emergencies.
• If in a high-rise building, be prepared to take shelter on or below the 10th floor.
• Consider building a safe room.
• Make sure to have enough  food, and toiletries to last at least two weeks.

We desire to make sure you and your family are safe and  prepared this Hurricane season.

Why Generator Maintenance is Important

Why Generator Maintenance is so Important

Think that having a generator at your house or commercial building guarantees that you’re all set for a power outage? Not necessarily. If you fail to maintain your generator properly, you could find out the hard way that your generator isn’t functioning like it should.

How can you make sure your generator will be ready for action when the time comes? Your best bet is to have a professional service provider offering generator maintenance in Houston to come and perform an inspection on a regular basis.

How often should you have your generator inspected?

You should have your generator inspected completely at the very least, once a year. If you hire a generator service company to handle your service, they can perform a thorough inspection of all the components on a quarterly or by-yearly basis . This way, you know your generator will turn on automatically and work like it should in the event of a power outage.

Making sure you get a thorough inspection

It’s not enough just to have your generator quickly looked at. About every 6 months, a generator needs to be inspected thoroughly. Every single component needs to be checked to ensure proper performance. A detailed inspection should include checking to ensure the generator’s fluid levels are right, changing the oil, testing all circuitry & components, changing out the spark plugs, installing new filters, etc.

Choosing a Generator Service Company in Houston

Not all generator service companies in Houston are the same. You want to make sure you choose a company that has:

• Qualified technicians
• Reasonable service rates
• Guaranteed work
• Stocked Parts
• Professionals who respond in a timely manner

When was the last time you had your generator serviced? Let us know by leaving a comment. 

Choosing a Generator for Your Business

What would you do if power went out at your business? You wouldn’t be able to service your customers; you wouldn’t be able to make any sales; everything would come to a standstill. All the while, you’d be losing money. Your operating expenses wouldn’t stop rolling in, but the money would.

The good news is that you can avoid such a nightmare situation by being prepared. With the right backup generator, your business will never be without power. If there’s an electricity outage, your generator will automatically kick on and keep your business running.

But not all Houston commercial generators are the same, so if you’re choosing a generator for your business, make sure you follow these tips.

• Determine your power needs—Obviously, no two commercial buildings are the same. Not only do they vary in size, but even two similarly-sized buildings might have vastly different power requirements depending on the equipment inside. You need to determine how much power the items you want to backup produce. An experienced generator company will be able to help assess your needs.

• Stick with a proven brand—There are many different brands of commercial generators in Houston to choose from, but not all of them are reliable. You want to make sure you get the best Houston commercial generator available. Stick with a proven brand like Generac or Cummins Onan.                

• Choose an automatic standby generator—When there’s a power outage, you want to make sure you have a generator that automatically kicks on, so you have little interruption. Automatic standby generators automatically come on when your main power goes out. That way, you don’t have to scramble to start up your backup generator.

• Trust an experienced generator company for installation and service—Only buy your commercial generator from a reputable company with well-trained staff who can properly install your generator. Make sure the generator and the work performed by the company are both guaranteed.

Do you have any questions about choosing a commercial generator for your business? Leave a comment to let us know.

Hope this helps

AA Genpro ~ What we are about

           Its never a good feeling when the lights flicker a few times, then they go out.
How frustrating, whether you are right in the middle of business at your job or cooking in your house, its always a inconvieance to lose power. There is just never a perfect time to be without electricity.
Well thats why we are here to take away the frustation, and keep your power up in running.
As the Generator Professionals of Houston we are here to service you and help you with all your power needs, whether its home or business. We take great pride and joy in serving you in your backup power needs.
GenPro specializes in excellance, we are true believers in the golden rule, so we make sure we treat and care for our customers just as we would like to be treated in our purchases.
Let me tell you a little bit about Genpro because there are alot of generator companies out there,and in a world where there are so many choices, its sometimes hard shuffling through all the marketing to really know which company will best suit your needs, and live up to what they promise.
A & A Genpro, Inc was founded by Ashton Tennant and Andrew Spitzmueller with the vision of providing premiere generator services including the installation and service of all makes and model generators. As long time Houston residents, they understand the challenges and life-threatening situations that arise from natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes or ice storms. The company was formed with the concept to provide safe alternatives to support the community of Houston and the Gulf coast area with cost efficient ways to keep your home and business functional.
Along with a knowlegable management team, A & A Genpro has  Factory Trained Staff  that will install the most reliable equipment on the market to maintain your everyday living. A & A Genrpro stands by their work and will go the extra mile, making sure their clients are safe and satisfied.We also have a complete service department, and offer maintence and diagostic tests on your generator. We strive for long term relationships with our clients. We strive to make sure our customers are satisfied and happy with our products and services rendered.
You might say "why Standby power"  for your home or business? Well Consumer Report stated in March 2011 that a growing number of hurricanes, tornadoes, ice storms, and other natural disasters in recent years have probably put preparedness on your radar screen. Along with an emergency plan and a three-day supply of food and water, you might want to consider adding backup power at your home.
The Beauty of Standby power is when  the power is lost, it is restored through the generator to your home or business within 25 seconds. The generator is fueled by natural gas, propane or diesel with automatic power transfer, so by the time you lose power and its restored you barely knew what happened. You can keep functioning in life and business as if nothing happened.
Many people think " Oh that is probally way out of my price range", but you would be greatly suprised. We have consultants that can come visit your home or business, do a free on-site inspection, and evaluate your needs, providing you with a solution that meets your budget needs.
With this in mind, come by and visit our web-site, or call our office . We would love to help answer any questions that you may have.
Thanks for taking the time to visit our blog. Please come back to read. We will be posting alot of helpful , and interesting information this year on standby power, hurricanes, the Texas grid system, hurricane prepardness and funtips.
Have a awesome day :)
