Keep the lights on with one of these backup power sources.

When you live somewhere with extreme weather or regular power outages, it’s a good idea to have a backup power source for your home. There are various types of backup power systems on the market, but each of them serves the same primary purpose: keeping your lights and appliances on when your power goes out.

 

In the past, fuel-powered standby generators (also known as whole house generators) have dominated the backup power supply market, but reports of risk of carbon monoxide poisoning have led many to search for alternatives. Battery backups have emerged as a more eco-friendly and potentially safer option to conventional generators.
