Why Backup Power Matters

When the power goes out, many homes are left without:

Refrigeration and food storage
Medical or mobility equipment
Water pumps and pressure systems
Heating, cooling, and hot water
Internet and communications

Back up power solutions allow you to maintain essential services and reduce disruption during outages - especially in bushfire-prone and rural areas.

Backup Power Options We Install

Generator Backup Power

(Fast, Practical Protection)

Generator backup is one of the fastest ways to prepare your home for outages. We install:

Generator inlets
Manual and automatic changeover switches
Safe, compliant switchboard connections

A generator backup setup allows a suitable generator to power selected essential circuits during an outage, without unsafe back feed into the grid.

Ideal for: Short-to-medium outages, rural properties, fast preparedness

Battery Backup for Power Outages

Battery systems can provide quiet, automatic backup power when the grid goes down.

Battery back up options:

Keep selected circuits running during outages
Can integrate with new or existing solar systems
Recharge from solar during daylight
No fuel, no noise, no manual switching (with suitable configuration)

We assess your home and recommend battery solutions based on what you want to keep running during an outage.

Ideal for: Automatic backup, night-time outages, essential circuits

Hybrid Backup: Battery + Generator

For homes seeking maximum resilience, a hybrid solution combines the best of both systems:

Battery provides instant, seamless backup
Battery provides instant, seamless backup

This approach is popular for:

Rural properties

Homes with higher essential power needs
