About Backup Power Home

Backup Power Home is run by A couple in their early 40s living in a hurricane-prone area outside Houston who went through two extended power outages in the same year and decided never again. She works from home as a freelance graphic designer and lost three days of client deadlines during the last blackout. He coaches little league and spent those same three days trying to keep a cooler full of insulin cold for their youngest. Not an electrician, not a prepper, not a survivalist -- just a family that got serious about backup power after reality hit them twice. They have tested everything from gas generators to portable solar to DIY magnetic devices and have strong opinions about all of them.. We provide honest, experience-based reviews and guides to help you make informed decisions.
