Benefits of Professional Backup Power Systems

Instant Power Protection: Battery backup systems provide seamless power switching in milliseconds during outages, keeping critical systems running without interruption or the delay of generator startup.

Silent Operation: Unlike traditional generators, battery backup systems operate completely silently with zero emissions, making them ideal for residential areas with noise restrictions or close neighbors.

Expandable Capacity: Start with essential power backup and easily expand your system over time, adding more battery capacity or integrating solar panels for sustainable energy independence.

Weather Independent: Indoor/outdoor installation options with IP65 weather resistance ensure reliable operation during storms, earthquakes, and extreme weather events that cause most power outages.

Smart Home Integration: Advanced monitoring through EnergyTrak and MySolArk apps provides real-time system status, automatic over-the-air updates, and remote system control from anywhere.

FAQ about Backup Power Systems
  • Question:
    Question: What's the difference between battery backup and generator backup?
    Answer:
    Battery backup systems provide instant, silent power switching within milliseconds and require no fuel, making them ideal for frequent short outages and quiet neighborhoods. Generators provide unlimited runtime during extended outages but require 10-30 seconds to start and need natural gas or propane fuel. Many customers choose hybrid systems combining both technologies for comprehensive power protection covering both short interruptions and extended outages.
  • Question:
    How long will a battery backup system power my home?
    Answer:
    Battery backup runtime depends on your power consumption and battery capacity. Essential loads (refrigerator, lights, WiFi) can run 10-30+ hours with a standard system. Managed loads (some appliances, partial HVAC) typically provide 8-15 hours. Whole home backup usually provides 4-8 hours with a properly sized system. Systems are expandable - you can add more battery capacity for longer runtime or integrate solar charging for indefinite backup power.
  • Question:
    Do backup power systems require permits and inspections?
    Answer:
    Yes, both battery backup systems and generators require electrical permits in Orange County, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino jurisdictions. We handle all permit applications, utility notifications, and inspection coordination. Battery systems typically require electrical permits, while generators may also require building permits for gas line connections and concrete pads. We ensure full compliance with NEC codes, local regulations, and manufacturer warranties.
  • Question:
    Can I install backup power if I have solar panels?
    Answer:
    Absolutely! Backup power systems integrate excellently with existing solar installations. Battery backup systems can charge from both solar panels and the grid, providing energy independence and backup power. During outages, solar panels can recharge batteries during daylight hours for extended backup capability. Generators can also provide backup power for homes with solar, though they operate independently of the solar system during outages.
  • Question:
    How much does a whole home backup power system cost?
    Answer:
    Backup power system costs vary based on capacity and features. Essential power battery systems start around $15,000-25,000 installed. Whole home battery backup typically ranges $25,000-50,000 depending on capacity needed. Standby generators range from $8,000-20,000 installed depending on size and fuel type. Hybrid systems combining batteries and generators range $30,000-60,000 but provide the most comprehensive power protection available.
  • Question:
    What maintenance do backup power systems require?
    Answer:
    Battery backup systems require minimal maintenance - mainly visual inspections and software updates (which happen automatically with EnergyTrak systems). Generators require more regular maintenance including oil changes, filter replacements, and periodic exercise cycles, typically every 6-12 months. We offer maintenance agreements for both battery and generator systems to ensure optimal performance and warranty compliance. Battery systems typically have 10-15 year warranties while generators have 5-10 year coverage.

Installed a ring doorbell without upgrading the other parts and when the doorbell started going off randomly during the night (we have a newborn), Azat responded to my inquiry sent at 3am promptly at 7am and was able to come the same day to fix my problem. Total lifesaver! Highly recommend!
Scott B., Laguna Niguel, CA
Azat was very quick on replying and providing his estimates for the work that needed to be done on my kitchen. He arrived on time and efficiently and professionally completed all the required work. He fixed our recessed lighting that was incorrectly installed by the former electrician. Highly recommended.
Svetlana P., Orange, CA
Reached out on Yelp and Azat was very quick to respond. He showed up on time and was able to install my light timer switch for my front porch light. Appreciated that he came so quick on a Friday night. Very professional and friendly. Will not hesitate to use him again for other household related projects.
Kyle R., Costa Mesa, CA
Azat was great to work with. Very prompt with his replies, very fair pricing, clean, and did a great job overall. I highly recommend and look forward to working with him again, completely satisfied with the service he provided. Azat has come back for another job and did an amazing job hanging a tv for me. Was quick, clean, communicative and very precise in his measurements. Highly recommend his services.
Nick D., Aliso Viejo
Azat was so helpful, prompt and efficient. The dimmer switch in our bedroom stopped working and he replaced it within 15 minutes at a reasonable cost. We will definitely be using him again for future handy work that needs to be done. Thank you Azat!
Barbara B., Costa Mesa, CA
We had a really good experience with Azat. He came to install our microwave, help with electricalwork, and do some dry walling. He was knowledgeable, professional, and straight forward as to what was possible. We really appreciated his efforts
