Generator Packaging and Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) Approval

TAW Custom Genset Enclosures

Generator sound attenuating or weather protective packaging and DCA approval go together, hand-in-hand. Using packaging without the DCA’s approval means the absence of peace of mind – and though you may cut costs slightly by ordering such a product, you may incur problems down the road. Special prefabricated housings made to match the strict building codes of states like Florida’s, DCA-approved generator enclosures offer the following benefits:

•      Adhering to code means the absence of fines and no headaches with local building inspectors. Electing to cover your generator with a DCA-approved enclosure due to safety should be your first reason to do so, but if that is not enough, consider the costs you may incur if you are forced to bring your non – DCA approved genset housing up to Florida Code compliance after the fact. Florida building codes in particular have become stricter in recent years. If you are not sure whether your generator is up to current code requirements, check the DCA website for more information.

•       The ever-present threat of hurricanes has led to a huge increase in Florida generator use. Know that your generator will work when you need it most by using generator sound reducing or weather protective enclosures that protects your investment.

•       Cost that is nominal – and protection that is priceless. Find a source that pre-approved generator packaging like TAW does. You will know from the get-go that you are using a premium enclosure, and the pre-approval promise saves you time you would spend trying to discover whether the covering is up to code. Not sure whether your current enclosure is approved? Look for the DCA label.
