Every hurricane season is eventful for our customers. No different will be 2014 with the present Hurricane Iselle bearing down on the Big Island of Hawaii where all residents are bracing while hurricane warnings are in full effect. This appears to be the first hurricane to hit Hawaii since 1992’s Hurricane Iniki on Kauai and the only hurricane on record to have ever hit the Big Island.
Absolute Generators stands ready to support our clients affected by Hurricane Iselle with emergency home backup power by a standby generator or portable generator. Here is what you will need to know when working with Absolute Generators to get you back up power and fast:
1) Shipping a home backup generator to Hawaii historically has a transit time of approximately 10-15 business days. This will be no different in the event of a storm. We often times see transit times drastically decreased during storm events, as well.
2) Our “free freight” offer on generator shipments applies only to residents in the lower 48 states.
3) Hawaii residents do have the option of Absolute Generators sending their generator with free freight to the port of Los Angeles, San Francisco, or another location to then handle the freight beyond that point by a third party freight forwarder.
4) To accurately accommodate your shipment to Hawaii, we will need to provide you a freight quote on a case by case basis.
5) Contact us or simply call us at 888-264-2189 to discuss your order. During a storm event we carry extended business hours and will make every effort to be available to you 24 hours per day.
6) You can also get a jump start by searching our emergency generators and home standby generators.
Absolute Generators is following the storm hour by hour as it appears to likely be poised to impact the the Big Island, if not all of the Hawaiian islands. With unprecedented back-to-back hurricanes, both Hurricane Iselle and Julio are unfortunately ready to menace the state like never before. Residents of Hawaii are certainly making preparations and we wish them the safest of outcomes.
