Backup power
Start your backup plan with what matters
Begin with the parts of home life you want to keep running.
A backup-power conversation is most useful when it starts with your priorities. Describe what matters to your household and ask a qualified specialist to assess the requirements.
01List your priorities
Make a list of the appliances and activities you want to discuss. Explain what an interruption would mean for your household.
02Ask what the proposal covers
Ask which loads the proposed system would support, what its operating limits are, and what assumptions the design uses. Request a project-specific explanation.
03Plan for ownership
Discuss installation, maintenance, monitoring and support. Ask who you contact after the project and what documentation you receive.
