Outage Starter Kit

Do this first

• Pick your essential loads: fridge, a few lights, phone + Wi-Fi.
• Decide: portable power first (most people), then expand if needed.
• Make a simple ‘critical outlet’ plan (where things plug in during an outage).
• Test it once for 30 minutes. Fix what’s annoying before you need it.
• Only then consider upgrades like larger batteries or whole-home backup.
