Backup power is ultimately about the people and essential equipment inside a home—not the building itself. This video explains why medical devices, refrigeration, heat, lighting, communications, and food storage should guide the choice between battery and generator backup.
Every household has a different definition of essential. Some need refrigerated medicine or powered medical equipment, while others must keep a furnace, well pump, freezer, or communications running.
A good backup plan starts with circuits and runtime, then compares battery capacity, generator fuel and maintenance, transfer equipment, solar recharging, noise, and budget. Big Dog Solar can help evaluate those tradeoffs for the home.
Programs, utility policies, equipment availability, and incentives can change. Confirm current terms for your address and consult qualified financial or tax professionals when appropriate.
Narrator: When we say home backup, that's not really what we mean. What we mean is your backup. Your house can likely survive a prolonged power outage, but you and your family need power to function and even survive. Refrigerated medicine like insulin, sleep apnea devices, furnace for heat in the dead of winter.
Those are just a few common critical needs. To say nothing of having a few additional comforts like lights to see, outlets to charge, or a freezer full of meat that won't spoil because you thought ahead. Whether a better fit for your needs is a whole home battery solution or a whole home generator, Big Dog is dedicated to making sure you have the resources you need to be prepared when, not if, emergencies happen. Generating your power is one thing, but managing and protecting it is something else.
So, give Big Dog a call and let us help you find the right fit. We've got your back. Jack, Jane, Samantha, Parker, Tim, Reagan, LeFonda, Joe, Susie, Fletch, Kay, or whoever you are.
