Power outages never wait until it’s convenient for you, and traditional whole-home backup generators come with complicated installation, permits, noise, maintenance, and constant refueling to keep your home running.
Modern whole-home battery backup systems change that equation by delivering power in a plug-and-play solution; no electricians or installation needed. They’re also ultra-quiet, emission-free, and safe for use indoors. Let’s learn more about what dependable whole-home backup really looks like!
Why Traditional Whole-Home Backup Feels Complicated
When choosing how to back up their home, homeowners sometimes feel overwhelmed by the cost and complexity of a whole-home system. However, gone are the days of using traditional whole-home backup generators, which typically required permits and an electrician to install and posed serious safety risks due to their toxic emissions.
Additional problems with traditional systems include their noisy operation, which may be unsuitable for some neighborhoods; they require oil and filter changes along with other regular maintenance; they require fuel purchases and storage (adding to their cost and safety issues); and they are more difficult to set up as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect your sensitive electronics and appliances.
On the other hand, new battery backup systems, like the EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra, operate almost silently, produce zero emissions, are safe for indoor use, seldom require an electrician or a permit, and can provide automatic switchover in 20 ms. That’s fast enough to protect your sensitive electronics from brownouts or blackouts.
For instance, EcoFlow battery backups power more than 5 million households worldwide, and since 2021, the flagship EcoFlow DELTA Pro Series has delivered reliable home backup to over 100,000 families. Since battery systems require no fuel or maintenance and tend to last longer than most fossil fuel generators, the cost of battery backup systems is much less than traditional models in the long run.
No Installation Means No Drilling, No Electrician, No Wall Mounting
Traditional whole-home generators often required electricians, special permits, and other work to have them installed, adding both to the complexity and the total cost.
With new homes, people often don’t want to drill into or mount onto their walls, or sometimes homeowners lack the skills or confidence to do it themselves. Another issue for renters is that they may want household backup but don’t want to pay for a permanent installation that they can't take with them when they move.
No matter what your issues with whole-home generators have been in the past, setting up your battery backup system couldn’t be easier. Depending on how you have your system set up, it could be as easy as any other plug-and-play device. Simply set it in place wherever you need it, plug in your appliances, and use it. If it isn’t connected to your electrical panel, you won’t need an electrician.
Stack, Plug In, and Power Up in Minutes
Battery-operated whole-home generators like the EcoFlow DELTA Pro Series are incredibly easy to use. You can literally set it up and have it running within minutes.
The batteries typically sit on the floor, and if you want to expand your capacity, they are stackable, so they take up little space. Just connect your devices to the numerous output ports it provides, and you're ready to go.
Flexible Placement Throughout Your Home
Battery-operated backup solutions also have the advantage of being usable indoors. You can bring a portable battery into your otherwise unpowered garage, shed, or barn so you can run power tools without an extension cord.
You could also place one in your basement or utility room to run your sump pump during a storm, or to run your washing machine when you don’t want to run it on grid power during peak electricity rates.
You can also have a dedicated battery backup for essential appliances, like keeping your work computer plugged into one to protect your hardware and your work. Or you might have a family member with medical devices that need constant power. Batteries give you flexible options.
Quiet, Safe Power Compared to Traditional Generators
Perhaps one of the best features of battery-operated systems like the EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra is that they are perfectly safe for indoor use, as they use no fossil fuels. This means there’s no risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, which kills 400 people every year in the U.S. And newer models like the EcoFlow DELTA Pro Series use lithium-iron-phosphate battery chemistry, which is much more stable and no longer prone to the thermal runaway that plagued older lithium-ion batteries.
Finally, if you dislike listening to your neighbor’s fossil fuel generator running outdoors, you’re not alone. Residential neighborhoods often complain about the noise, and they are frequently banned nowadays in campgrounds for that very reason. With battery-powered options, they operate at just above a whisper, so there's no need to worry about disturbing anyone. You can even use it in your bedroom while you sleep!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can You Really Power a Home Without Installing Anything?
Yes, using portable battery-powered backup systems, you can power your entire home without hiring an electrician to install it; simply plug your appliances into it and use it. However, if you want it tied to your home’s electrical panel, you may need an electrician for that step.
Is No-Installation Home Backup Safe To Use Indoors?
No-installation home backup systems are perfectly safe to use indoors only if they are battery-operated. Never bring a traditional fossil fuel generator inside because of the toxic emissions, which can lead to hospitalization or death from carbon monoxide poisoning, among other health concerns.
