Four Alternative Heating Methods for Your Business (Hint: Use a Portable Generator!)

If there’s some kind of emergency or disaster, it can often leave your small business stranded without heat. If your employees are still working, you’ll need a way to make sure they don’t freeze (especially in colder climates).

1. Portable Generators
First and foremost, using a portable generator is essential, so you can keep the lights on and computers running even when the power goes out. And of course, it will help you retain heat in your building and keep your employees more comfortable as they work. But make sure you use it safely and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Space Heater
If a cold blast hits and certain offices in your building tend to get colder than others, try using a space heater. Make sure that any space heater you buy has been evaluated by a recognized laboratory. Never plug your space heater into an extension cord or power strip, and always unplug it when it’s not in use. Remember that space heaters need at least three feet space in all directions, so don’t place any items too close to it.

3. Thick Clothing and Blankets
If there’s a power outage, but there’s still work that can be done, you need to make sure your employees are warm and safe. Consider keeping emergency jackets and blankets on hand if you live in a colder climate.

4. USB-powered Fingerless Gloves and Hand Warmers
That’s right! Did you know you can now get fingerless gloves that you just plug into your computer and keep your hands warm? Your fingers are free to keep right on typing! If your employees work outside in the cold, consider providing them with warm gloves and hand warmers to get them through those colder months.

Enhancing Security at Storage Facilities with Power Plus DVS

When people store trucks, trailers, boats, and RVs at storage facilities, they’re not just stashing extra vehicles and old equipment. They’re entrusting these businesses with some of their most valuable possessions — and often their livelihoods.

Storing high-value inventory like heavy-duty trucks, trailers, and construction equipment, truck yards and equipment rental yards are prime targets for cargo theft and other security threats.

It’s no secret Power Plus DVS started out in construction site security. It’s where we learned to always walk a property before designing its video surveillance system.

Back in the day, security guard companies like yours were the logical first defense against crime, vandalism, and trespassing. But in our ever-changing world – with evolving technology, higher value targets, and more shrewd criminals – yesterday’s stalwart guard services are facing unprecedented, new challenges.

As fast as today’s business world is evolving, the need for cost-effective security solutions is even more crucial than ever.

With our decades of experience working on job sites, no one has to tell Power Plus Designed Video Surveillance how monumental a job it is for you to manage your construction site.

With criminals targeting construction sites more and more, every construction project faces the same rising concern of theft. Not to mention vandalism, trespassing, and liability protection. But that’s where the similarity between your job site and any other ends.
