Why Backup?

Backup Protects Your Fridge & Critical Devices

When the grid goes down, Backup detects it and automatically kicks on, instantly providing power to plugged in devices from its reserve supply. Say goodbye to losing a week’s worth of groceries to an outage.

See How Backup Works ↓

Simply plug Backup into your standard wall outlet and plug your critical devices into Backup.

The Backup app

Peace of Mind In An Outage, Savings Every Day

When the grid goes down, the Backup app tells you how much power you have and how long it will last, so you can focus on your family instead of guessing. And when the lights are on, Backup helps homes on time-of-use (TOU) electricity plans, with TOU scheduling that shifts your energy use to the cheapest hours.

Backup works hard on the worst days and the regular ones too.
