Outage power, one job at a time.

HoldBackup covers the gear that keeps a few circuits alive: a UPS for the flicker, a portable power station for the evening, and a generator when the outage lasts.

Guides

  Which of the three fits your outage, and how to size it from the load.

• A UPS for your router and modem

• Running a refrigerator on a portable power station

• Standby vs portable generators for home backup

  How each connects to the house, what it needs installed, and the safety rules.
