Keep Your Power On: Why Backup Power Systems Are a Smart Investment for Every Home and Business
When the lights go out, your comfort, safety, and productivity go with them. At Wicks Electric, we know how disruptive power outages can be — whether it’s a residential home losing heat in the winter or a commercial space suddenly shutting down operations. That’s why one of the most important parts of our 20-Point Electrical Service Checklist is checking for and recommending backup power systems.
Why You Need a Backup Power System
British Columbia’s weather and growing electrical demands have made power outages more common. Having a reliable backup generator isn’t just about convenience — it’s about protection and preparedness.
A professionally installed generator automatically powers essential systems during an outage, keeping your lights, appliances, and security systems running smoothly. Whether it’s a standby generator for your home or a commercial-grade unit for your business, backup power helps protect sensitive electronics, prevent costly downtime, and ensure peace of mind.
