Mr. Electric Signs Agreement With Generac(r) Power Systems, Inc. To Provide Homeowners With Emergency Home Standby Generators Nationwide

WACO, TEXAS (Wednesday, February 27, 2002) - Mr. Electric(R), the world's largest electrical service and repair franchise, announced a national alliance with Generac(R) to offer customers automatic home standby generators.
Generac, the leading supplier of safe, fully automatic and reliable home standby generators, now joins an elite list of preferred vendors to bring Mr. Electric customers peace of mind and emergency backup power to homes across America.

"We want only the best for our customers," said Brant Foushee, Vice President of Mr. Electric. "And Generac's GUARDIAN(R) is a brand that will deliver in a time of need."

Customers who purchase a Generac(R) automatic home standby generator will no longer combat the inconveniences of power outages and security failures. The generators will provide an alternate electrical source to residences within seconds of a power loss and will activate automatically. A single generator can power lights, appliances, security systems, furnaces, and any essential electrical home features designated to operate consistently.

"Having the network of Mr. Electric franchisees offer the Generac line of home standby generators is a win not only for both of us corporately, but provides a big win to consumers who can speak with a knowledgeable and reputable installer in their local community," said David Duffield of Generac.

"Whether combating electrical outages, lightning storms or any unplanned disruption to the power supply of a home, Generac Power Systems emergency home standby generators will be a welcomed addition to the smart homes of today," Foushee said.
