Power backup

Keep the lights, Wi-Fi and fridge running through Kenya Power outages. We size, install and service inverters, batteries and generator changeovers safely.

Power backup

What we fix

  • Inverter and battery installation
  • Inverters that beep, trip or won't charge
  • Batteries that no longer hold charge
  • Changeover switches for generators
  • Generator connection to the house wiring
  • Backup for Wi-Fi, CCTV and lights only
  • Business backup for tills and fridges
  • Battery health checks and replacement

How we do it

  1. Tell us what you need to keep running during outages
  2. We work out the load and recommend the right inverter and battery size
  3. We install with proper protection and a safe changeover
  4. We test a simulated outage and show you how to use it

When to call us

  • Backup lasting much less than it used to
  • Inverter alarms or error codes
  • Swollen, hot or leaking batteries
  • Lights flickering when power switches over

Spotting these early usually makes the repair smaller and cheaper.

Questions customers ask

How long will my backup last?

It depends on what is connected and the battery size. We calculate it for you before you buy.

Inverter or generator?

Inverters are silent and best for lights and electronics; generators suit heavy loads and long outages. Many clients use both.

Can you add solar later?

Yes. We can install an inverter that is ready for solar panels later.
