Our approach
Designed around you, not a product catalog
Most backup companies sell one thing: the biggest solar array, or a single brand of generator. We start every project with four questions, then mix generators, solar and batteries to fit your answers.
What has to stay on, and for how long?
- Medical equipment
- Fridge and freezer
- Home office and internet
- Heat, A/C or a well pump
What went wrong last time?
- Spoiled food and lost work
- A cold or overheated house
- Fuel lines and high gas prices
- Noisy, hard-to-start generators
What's a realistic number for you?
- Options from about $4,000
- Start small, add on later
- Financing guidance available
- No upselling past your budget
What we install
Generators, solar and batteries, alone or together
Portable generators
Gas or propane units with a safe inlet and transfer switch. The most affordable way to keep the essentials running.
See Essentials Backup →Standby generators
Permanently installed, propane-preferred, and starting automatically within seconds of an outage. Propane stores for years without going bad.
See Hybrid & Premium →Rooftop & ground solar
Sized to your critical loads, not the whole roof. Cuts or eliminates generator run time and fuel costs during long outages.
See Solar-Primary →Battery storage
Silent, instant backup that switches over before the lights flicker. Recharges from solar, the grid or your generator.

Built for North Texas
Ready for the outages we actually get
Ice storms, summer grid alerts and fuel price swings each call for a different kind of backup. We design for the ones that worry you most.
Ice storms & hard freezes
Outages that last days, with roads too slick for a fuel run. Propane standby generators paired with a battery keep heat and pipes protected without gas cans.
Heat waves & grid alerts
Short, frequent outages when demand peaks. Batteries switch over instantly and quietly, and solar recharges them during the hottest part of the day.
High fuel prices & shortages
Gasoline and diesel get expensive and hard to find right when you need them. Solar plus battery makes the generator a last resort instead of the main plan.

A low-pressure process with a clear recommendation at the end. You'll see the trade-offs before you spend anything.
Free consultation
A phone or video call about your priorities, what worries you and your budget range.
Home assessment
We visit to calculate your loads, inspect the electrical panel, and check roof, yard and generator placement.
2–3 tailored options
Side-by-side options showing upfront cost, fuel cost, runtime and maintenance for each.
Installation
Licensed electrical and solar partners install it. We order the equipment and coordinate every step.
Power on & training
We test the system with you, show you how it works, and set up an optional service plan.
Financing & service
Support before and after the install
Financing guidance
Help comparing payment options, including home equity lines and lender referrals, with the real payback math laid out plainly.
Annual maintenance plans
Yearly generator service and battery checks, so your system starts when you need it.

Start with Essentials and add solar or more battery later. Every system is designed to grow.
Realtors & builders
Backup power packages for listings, new construction and move-in buyers. Ask about partnering with us.
Emergency communications
Stay in touch when the phones go down
In a big storm, cell towers lose power or get overloaded. We help families write a PACE communications plan and set up the radios to back it up, powered by the same backup system that runs your home.
Primary
How you normally reach each other.
Cell calls and textsAlternate
Used when the primary is spotty or overloaded.
Messaging apps over home internet on backup powerContingency
Works with no cell service or internet at all.
GMRS radios at home, in the cars and with nearby familyEmergency
The last resort when everything else is down.
HAM radio, plus a set meeting place and check-in timesWhich radio is right for you?
| Service | License | Best for | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| FRS | None needed | Family members close by | Inexpensive handhelds. Range is short, often a mile or less in town. |
| GMRS | FCC license, no exam | Home, vehicles and the neighborhood | More power than FRS, and repeaters can extend range across town. One $35 license covers your immediate family for 10 years. |
| MURS | None needed | Acreage, farms and jobsites | Five VHF channels at up to 2 watts. Works well in open country. |
| HAM | FCC exam required | Across the region and beyond | The most capable option, with local emergency nets and long-distance bands. Most people start with the Technician license. |
PACE plan workshop
We sit down with your family and write a one-page plan: who to contact, how, when, and where to meet.
Radio selection & programming
Radios matched to your household, programmed with your channels and local repeaters.
GMRS license help
We walk you through the FCC's online application so your family can transmit legally.
HAM license prep
Study guidance and practice exams for the Technician license.
Antennas & base stations
Home and vehicle antenna installs for noticeably better range.
Radio backup power
Battery and solar charging so your radios keep working for days.
Emergency water supply
Safe water when the taps stop
During the February 2021 winter storm, millions of Texans lost water pressure or spent days under boil-water notices. We assess your household and property, then plan the storage, backup sources and filtration that fit your space and budget.
Water storage systems
From stackable jugs and 55-gallon barrels to large tanks and IBC totes, sized to your family and the space you have. We include a rotation schedule so stored water stays fresh.
Filtration & purification
Gravity filters, under-sink and whole-house systems, and UV treatment, matched to the water you'll actually be using. Plus a simple guide to boiling and disinfecting when nothing else is available.
Ponds & surface water
Turn a stock pond or creek into a dependable backup source. We plan the intake, pump and pre-filtering, and a full treatment chain, because untreated pond water is never safe to drink.
Rainwater harvesting
Gutter collection, first-flush diverters and cisterns, for garden and household backup use. Texas exempts rainwater harvesting equipment from state sales tax.
Wells on backup power
A well pump stops when the power does. We size your generator or battery for the pump's startup surge and add a pressure tank or storage buffer.
Family water plan
A one-page plan covering how much you have, where it is, how to treat it and how to shut off and protect your plumbing before a hard freeze.
How we make pond and rainwater drinkable
Settle
Let sediment drop out in a holding tank before the water goes any further.
Pre-filter
Screens and sediment filters remove debris that would clog the main filter.
Filter
A fine filter removes bacteria and parasites. Carbon helps with taste and some chemicals.
Disinfect
UV, boiling or measured chlorine as the final step before drinking.
