Power outages don’t have an off-season.

Although many homeowners associate outages with winter storms, summer conditions can also affect electrical service. Wildfires, heat, equipment damage and other unexpected events can interrupt power—even when your community is nowhere near the immediate emergency.

If you already own a Generac standby generator, this is a good time to ask:

✓ Has it been serviced recently?
✓ Is the battery in good condition?
✓ Has the system completed its regular exercise cycles?
✓ Are there any warning lights or alerts showing?
✓ Is the area around the generator clear and accessible?

Owning a generator provides peace of mind only when the system is maintained and ready to operate.

VI Power Guard provides professional standby-generator service and maintenance throughout Vancouver Island. We are an authorized Generac dealer, licensed and insured.

To arrange a routine generator readiness check, visit vipowerguard.ca or call 1-877-40-POWER.

Preparedness isn’t about expecting the worst. It’s about being ready to protect the essential systems your household depends on.

Our thoughts are with the families, communities, first responders and utility crews affected by the wildfires across British Columbia.

A recent report has reminded us that the effects of wildfires can extend well beyond the areas immediately surrounding the flames. Wildfire activity affecting electrical infrastructure can result in power interruptions and fluctuations in communities farther away.

This is not a time for fear—it is a time to review your household emergency plan, check your emergency supplies and make sure your family knows what to do if the power goes out.

A few minutes of preparation today can make a big difference during an unexpected outage.

A recent CityNews report is also an important reminder that the effects of a wildfire can extend well beyond the area immediately surrounding the flames. Wildfire activity affecting electrical infrastructure can result in power interruptions and fluctuations in communities farther away.

⚡ Did You Know?

Standby generators are a great way to keep your home or business powered during an outage — but clean, stable power matters too.
This photo was taken at last month’s Parksville Home Show, where VI Power Guard owner/operator Brad Smith was showcasing Satic Shield power conditioning products. The meter is showing a high mV reading, which can indicate elevated electrical noise, often called “dirty electricity.”

Whether installed alongside a standby generator or as a standalone solution, a Satic Shield system can help reduce electrical noise, improve overall power quality, and provide added protection for today’s sensitive electronics — including smart devices, computers, appliances, LED lighting, EV chargers, and modern electrical systems.
VI Power Guard is proud to offer generator and power quality solutions across Vancouver Island.
