Keep The Power During Summer Power Outages with Environment Monitoring

Severe summer storms consist of different kinds of violent weather that can produce strong winds, heavy rains, lightning, thunder and hail. Hurricanes, thunderstorms and tornadoes can all lead to unexpected power outages that last for days. High winds can topple utility poles and power lines, leaving homes and businesses without power. Outside of the usual issues that power outages bring, summer power outages can be amplified by heat waves and extremely high temperatures. When the temperatures are hitting 90 degrees day in and day out, there is an increased usage of air conditioners that overloads the power grid resulting in a power outage. If your house, business or other facility loses power this summer, it is absolutely critical that you have the procedures in place to keep people and assets safe. 

A few years ago, we talked about a power outage we experienced within our own facilities that lasted several hours. This event reminded us of the immense value Room Alert brings in preventing and minimizing the extent of downtime due to unforeseen circumstances, such as summer power outages.

What Purpose Does Room Alert Serve?

Room Alert is efficient environment monitoring that is crucial in strengthening any effective Business Continuity Plan. 30% of all downtime is caused by environmental threats, so with summers getting hotter and power outages becoming more and more common, don’t wait until disaster strikes! All of our Room Alert monitors accurately monitor environment conditions such as temperature, humidity, power status, flooding, fire, airflow and more. Our Room Alert monitors and sensors are supported by our online Room Alert Account dashboard and our downloadable Room Alert Manager software to further protect you amidst severe summer weather. Room Alert provides a complete and comprehensive solution to preventing and minimizing downtime due to severe summer storms.

Room Alert Monitors

To start protecting your assets from severe summer storms, install a Room Alert monitor. We have many options available for various applications and suitable for every budget. Our Room Alert 3 Wi-Fi is perfect for settings where a wireless connection is desired such as a basement or attic. Our Room Alert 12S is ideal for high security settings that require less sensor capacity such as warehouses or medical facilities. Our highest capacity Room Alert 32S can utilize over 32 external sensors to monitor all aspects of your organization, so it is suitable for top security and high-level performance such as data centers and server rooms. All of our Room Alert monitors are easy to use, reliable, affordable, offer built-in sensors & allows external sensors to be added.

Room Alert Sensors

Next, pair Room Alert sensors with your Room Alert monitor to oversee the specific environmental threats that are of concern to you. Again, we offer a wide variety of affordable sensors so you can find the best combination of sensors to protect your business. Our Digital Temperature & Humidity Sensor is one of our best sensors for summer time because this multi-use sensor monitors temperature, humidity, heat index and dew point. This sensor alone works to prevent 50% of environmental downtime, all of which are of ultimate concern in hot summer months. Our patented, award-winning Room Alert Digital Active Power w/Temperature Sensor is another sensor ideal for preventing and minimizing the extent of damage due to power outages. This sensor provides the real-time power status of any electric device by simply strapping it to any AC electrical cord. Our Air Flow Sensor provides real-time recognition of air flow stoppage. This sensor is typically used to monitor continuous air flow in an HVAC duct, under a raised floor, or near a fan on a rack cabinet or important server. A working HVAC unit and fans are arguably never more important than in hot summer months. Just like our Room Alert monitors, all of our sensors are made, sold & supported in the USA, trusted by users in over 185 countries and offer same day shipping.

Room Alert Software

Our Room Alert software includes our Room Alert Account dashboard and downloadable Room Alert Manager. These platforms support our Room Alert hardware by allowing users to configure custom alerting, reporting, mapping and more. Alerting is one of the most useful features when tackling unexpected circumstances such as summer power outages. For example, the Digital Active Power w/Temperature Sensor installed on your HVAC equipment may detect that it is no longer receiving power. If and when this happens, you can configure Room Alert to notify you via text or email. This allows you to take corrective action before a costly disaster unfolds. Our Room Alert software supplies users with the peace of mind of knowing that Room Alert is always overseeing your facilities and will alert you to any potential problems before they become irreversible damage.

Room Alert takes over 33 years of industry expertise to provide users with all of the necessary tools to prevent and minimize costly environmental downtime.
