Securing Your Home's Power

Home battery backup systems have emerged as a leading and sustainable solution for reliable power security. These advanced energy storage systems not only provide crucial power outage protection but also offer opportunities for energy optimization, resulting in potential cost savings.

Tailored to your household, a Briggs & Stratton Battery Backup System provides a smart backup power alternative to a generator. With over 117 years of experience in power solutions, we’re here to provide you with a thorough understanding of how battery backup technology can benefit your home and your budget.

How Battery Backup Systems Work

A home battery backup system is a bank of high-capacity batteries that are installed and connected to your home’s electrical panel and store electricity for later use. The system also uses an inverter that monitors the utility power and instantaneously switches to battery power during an outage to provide a continuous supply of electricity—from just your essential appliances to your whole home. The switchover happens so fast you may not even notice. Batteries will recharge once utility power is restored, but can also be recharged by solar power or a generator.

Unlike traditional generators, battery backup systems operate silently and without carbon emissions. Battery backup systems can also utilize stored solar power during peak hours to avoid high utility costs, leading to energy bill savings. They offer a clean, environmentally-friendly and cost-effective alternative for energy resilience. With that said, a home battery backup system does not require solar panels and is an ideal alternative power solution when a home standby generator is not feasible or desired.

Top Ten Reasons to Choose Battery Backup:

1. You experience frequent outages measured in hours instead of days.

2. You live in a condo or townhome and cannot install a generator.

3. You are looking for a sustainable backup power solution with zero emissions.

4. You have a local noise ordinance that prohibits using a generator.

5. You have a small yard or tight lot lines. 

6. You don’t have access to natural gas and prefer not to install a liquid propane tank.

7. Your homeowner’s association (HOA) prohibits a home standby generator.

8. You prefer to install your backup equipment indoors. 

9. You have or are considering adding solar panels in the future.

10. You are looking for a cost-effective, expandable backup power solution with an instantaneous power transfer.
