Florida Case Study: Generator Security in Hurricane Season

When Hurricanes Helene and Milton hit, a Florida condo owner faced a common but critical problem: how to secure his generator against potential theft during a power outage. Hurricanes often lead to widespread blackouts, and in these situations, having a generator on hand is essential. But generators also become prime targets for theft, especially when they’re set up outdoors. How do you keep such a valuable piece of equipment safe?

The Problem: Protecting Essential Equipment After a Hurricane

After a hurricane, losing access to a generator can mean losing access to essential power — just when it’s needed most. For this condo owner, the question was clear. How do you keep your generator safe without needing to bring it inside, where it’s less effective and harder to operate?

The Solution: AnchorHog, A Simple and Effective Security Measure

Enter AnchorHog. By installing it just inside the garage door, the condo owner found a way to secure the generator with ease and flexibility. Here’s how it worked:

• Mounting AnchorHog: The AnchorHog was installed on the inside wall near the garage door. This convenient location allows the generator to be positioned either inside or outside the garage, without needing to detach or readjust the security cable.
• Flexible Positioning: With a long-enough cable, the generator can be secured and remain in place whether it’s kept outside for ventilation or stored safely inside. There’s no need to detach the cable every time you move it; simply position it as needed.
• Extra Security: Even when the generator is placed outside, you can close the garage door, keeping the equipment safe from both the elements and theft. The AnchorHog ensures the generator remains securely tethered, giving peace of mind during the aftermath of a storm.

The condo owner installed his AnchorHog inside the garage door, near the power outlet where he plugged in the generator.

With the garage door closed, he was able to run the generator in a ventilated environment day or night, without fear of theft.
