Load-shedding

Quotes
Not everyone wants to commit to a roof full of panels straight away — but almost everyone in Durban is tired of load-shedding. An inverter-and-battery backup is the middle ground: it stores power and switches over the moment the grid drops, so your lights stay on, the Wi-Fi keeps working and the fridge keeps cold. No panels required — and you can always add solar to it later.
What a backup system covers
The essentials
Lights, plugs, Wi-Fi, the TV and the fridge — the things that make load-shedding bearable — kept running.
Seamless switchover
A good system flips to battery fast enough that you barely notice the grid went out.
Right-sized runtime
Enough battery to ride out the typical slots, without paying for capacity you'll never use.
Safely wired in
Backed-up circuits split out at the DB board and clearly labelled — done by a registered electrician.
Sizing it right
The two numbers that matter are how much you draw at once and how long you need to last. Get them wrong and the system either trips under load or runs flat too early. We work out your actual load and the runtime you want, then match the inverter and battery to it — no overselling, no undershooting. If part of your goal is also cutting the bill, we'll point you toward adding solar panels and choose an inverter that's ready for them.
Wired in properly and certified
Tying a backup system into your DB board is electrical work — it needs a registered electrician and a Certificate of Compliance. We label your backed-up circuits, fit it neatly, and sign it off.
We fit backup systems across the metro — from Westville out west to the northern suburbs — and we'll be honest about what your budget will and won't keep running.
