Inverter and UPS backup installation
An inverter with batteries keeps your essentials running when the power goes off: lights, Wi-Fi, fridges, gate motors or tills. We size the system after a load assessment, because the right inverter and battery depend on what you need to keep on and for how long.

A booked visit goes into the next open slot. An emergency call-out is a separate priority service. Both are paid with a 50% deposit online, and the balance after inspection and your agreement.

Backup power makes sense if
- Outages stop you working or trading
- Your gate, alarm or Wi-Fi goes down with the power
- Computers, servers or tills need power without interruption
- You plan to add solar panels later
What we do
Load assessment
We list what must stay on and for how long, then size the inverter and battery to match.
Installation
Inverter, batteries, a separate backup circuit in the DB board and changeover where needed.
UPS units
UPS units for computers, servers, tills and network equipment that can't drop out.
Upgrades
More batteries, or solar panels added to an existing inverter.
How long it takes
Most home backup systems are installed in a day once the equipment is on site.
Staying safe
- Geysers, stoves and kettles usually stay on the grid circuit, because they draw more than most backup systems can supply.

Questions
How much does an inverter installation cost?
It depends on what you need to run and for how long, so we quote after a load assessment. For a guide price first, ask our intelligent WhatsApp agent.
Can it run my geyser or stove?
Usually not on a home backup system. Geysers, stoves and kettles draw too much power, so we wire them to stay on the grid and back up the essentials.
Inverter or UPS?
A UPS gives instant, short backup to sensitive equipment like servers and tills. An inverter with batteries runs a wider set of circuits for hours. Many businesses use both.
