Powering Through Outages | Global News

When the power goes out, staying charged and cool depends on the right backup plan. Portable battery banks are perfect for phones and laptops but can’t handle big appliances. Generators step in for fridges and AC units, though they cost hundreds to thousands and need fuel. For frequent or long outages—or if you rely on medical gear—whole-house systems automatically kick in, costing $5K–$20K+. Newer solar and battery combos offer clean, long-term savings, starting at $20K. Even your EV might power your home. Don’t just focus on the upfront cost—think about year-round benefits.
