Battery Backup vs. Whole-Home Power Solutions for Critical Systems

March 1, 2025

Power outages can disrupt life. Some homeowners only protect electronics, while others want full-home coverage.

Battery Backup (UPS)

  • Protects computers, small electronics, and medical devices
  • Portable and affordable
  • Limited power capacity

Whole-Home Power Solutions

  • Powers your entire home, including HVAC, appliances, and well pumps
  • Permanent installation
  • Automatic switching and peace of mind

Recommendation

For essential electronics only, battery backup is enough. For full-home coverage, especially in areas with frequent outages, a whole-home generator or panel-mounted solution is best.
