An inverter keeps selected lights, fans and devices running when the mains supply fails. For it to work safely, it needs to be sized for the loads you want to back up, connected to the battery correctly, and wired so that only the chosen circuits are on backup power.
We start with a list of what you want to run during an outage and add up the load. We then plan a separate backup circuit, install the inverter and battery in a ventilated place, and connect them through suitable protection and changeover so that backup power never feeds back onto the mains.
The system is tested by switching the mains off and checking the backup circuits.
Problems we solve
- Loss of lights and fans during outages
- An inverter that overloads or shuts down
- Batteries in a cramped or unventilated spot
- An inverter wired to the whole house instead of chosen circuits
- Messy, unprotected connections
- Not knowing what size inverter to buy
Our process
- 1
List the loads
You choose what to keep running and we add up the total.
- 2
Plan the backup circuit
A separate set of circuits is planned for the loads to be backed up.
- 3
Install and connect
Inverter and battery are fitted with correct cables, protection and changeover.
- 4
Test the changeover
We switch the mains off and check that the backup circuits run.
Benefits
- Power for the loads that matter during outages
- A backup circuit separate from the main wiring
- Batteries kept in a suitable place
- A tested changeover
