Home Backup Checklist
A compact checklist for lights, communication, routers, and essential small appliances during short outages.

A practical home backup setup starts with essential devices: phones, lights, router, medical accessories, and small appliances that support basic routines.
Check the wattage of each device and estimate runtime before an outage. This helps avoid oversizing the system while still protecting the essentials.
Keep the station charged, store cables in one place, and test the setup occasionally. A simple routine makes backup power easier to use when it is actually needed.
