City Council - Regular Meeting

How are you? Good morning. My name is Javier Aguilar and I work for the Department of Parks for the City of Walnut Creek. I use the electric blowers two or three times a week and it was very easy to bring the transition from gasoline blowers to electric ones. They are very easy to use. The most positive thing that we have found when using electric blowers is that we do not have to fill the gas tanks with the oil mixed. Yes, the most practical thing about electric blowers is that they are already charged. You can get to your work and use them immediately. In comparison to the others, you had to pull it and wait for it to heat up and the electric blowers are less polluting. The experience that we have had with electric blowers is that the life of the battery with charge is about 45 to 1 hour of duration. Another thing that we have found positive about electric blowers is that You no longer have to smell the smoke as you did with the gas blowers and you no longer have to breathe all those toxic gases that fire in the morning, more than anything, the gas blowers, the electric ones.
