Battery backup and solar generators for New England homes, small offices and jobsites. No fuel to store, no exhaust, no pull cord at midnight in the snow — it runs indoors and it is silent. We size it around what you actually need to keep alive, then set it up.
We support the IT and cameras for a few hundred New England businesses. Every winter the same thing happens: a nor'easter takes out power for two or three days, and we spend the week fielding calls about dead recorders, spoiled inventory and offices that cannot take a phone call. A battery system solves all three, and unlike a generator it does not require anyone to go outside.
Heavy wet snow and coastal wind bring down limbs onto overhead lines across Worcester County and MetroWest every single winter. Rural NH and western MA restoration can run longer still.
Carbon monoxide poisoning during outages is a recurring New England tragedy, usually from a generator run in a garage or too near a window. A battery has no exhaust at all.
No noise means you can run it in a condo, a triple-decker, an office suite, or overnight without a neighbor complaint. Also means no fuel to stabilize or store.
An outage is exactly when you want coverage. Recorder, switch, modem and router together draw very little — a modest battery holds them up for days. See camera systems.
The single most common mistake is buying by sticker capacity instead of by load. Here is the honest math for a New England house. These are working estimates to frame the conversation — we confirm real draw during the assessment, because a well pump or electric heat changes everything.
| What you keep running | Rough draw | Per 24 h | Sensible system |
|---|---|---|---|
| Internet, phones, a few lights | 60–100 W | ~2 kWh | Compact power station, ~1 kWh |
| Above + refrigerator and freezer | 200–300 W avg | ~3–5 kWh | 3 kWh class unit |
| Above + gas furnace blower | 350–450 W avg | ~5–7 kWh | 3 kWh + expansion battery |
| Above + well pump (intermittent) | Surges to 2,000 W+ | ~7–9 kWh | Higher-output unit, 240V capable |
| Electric heat or central air | 3,000–5,000 W sustained | 40 kWh+ | Honestly: a standby generator |
Two things worth knowing. Surge matters as much as capacity — a well pump or compressor draws several times its running watts for a second at startup, and a unit that cannot deliver that surge will simply refuse the load. And solar recharging in a Massachusetts December is a fraction of the rated panel output, so we size the array on winter numbers rather than the number on the box.
As an authorized Bluetti dealer we source direct, register your warranty, and are still here when you have a question in year three.
Expandable LiFePO4 units that cover the essentials through a multi-day outage and scale later by adding battery modules rather than replacing the unit.
Power station bundled with panels so a long outage does not end when the battery does. Panels fold flat and store in a garage between storms.
For trades working where a gas generator is banned, impractical or just too loud — finished interiors, occupied buildings, early-morning starts.
Sized specifically to hold up a security system through an outage — recorder, PoE switch, modem and router — so coverage does not stop when the power does.
Sized smallest to largest, with what each one realistically covers in a New England outage. Match these against the load table above rather than buying by headline capacity. Prices are Bluetti MSRP as of August 2026; setup and load assessment are quoted separately.

Refrigerator plus internet and lighting for most of a day. The smallest unit we would call genuine outage coverage for a household.
Hardware from $499 MSRP · installation quoted separately
Fridge, freezer, internet, lights and a gas furnace blower — the essentials list — through a full day and into a second. The most common single-unit choice for a New England house.
Hardware from $899 MSRP · installation quoted separately
Same essentials list with real margin, or a longer outage. Portable, so it can move to where it is needed rather than living in one spot.
Hardware from $1,099 MSRP · installation quoted separately
The one we recommend when a well pump is on the list, or when you want a system that grows. 240 V output and high surge capacity are what separate it from the portables — and it takes expansion batteries.
Hardware from $1,899 MSRP · installation quoted separately
How a 2.7 kWh system becomes a multi-day one without replacing the unit. Buy the Apex first, add batteries when you know your real consumption.
Hardware from $1,199 MSRP · installation quoted separately
For when you are done running cords across the kitchen. Lets the unit feed selected circuits properly — this one involves an electrician, and we will tell you when you need one.

Matters more than it sounds in a storm. Grid comes back for four hours overnight, then goes out again — faster recharge means you actually use that window.

Authorized Bluetti dealer. We source direct, register the warranty in your name, and size the system against your actual measured load instead of a guess. If the honest answer is a standby generator rather than a battery, we will say so. Product images and specifications are Bluetti's; Bluetti is a trademark of its respective owner.
We would rather tell you now than sell you the wrong thing.
Sustained multi-kilowatt heating and cooling loads are simply outside what a battery system covers economically — you would be buying 40+ kWh of storage to do what a permanently installed propane or natural gas standby generator does for less. A battery is the right tool for keeping essentials alive: refrigeration, heat controls and blower, internet, medical equipment, lighting, phones and your camera system. If your list is longer than that, we will tell you to call an electrician instead, and we are happy to recommend one.
It depends entirely on what you insist on keeping alive. A fridge, internet, phones, a few lights and a gas furnace blower is roughly 2 to 3 kWh per day, so a 3 kWh unit covers a typical one-day outage and an expandable system covers a multi-day nor'easter. Electric heat, a well pump or central air changes the math completely. We do a load assessment first, because oversizing wastes thousands and undersizing means you find out at 2am in January.
Yes — that is the main advantage over a gas generator. LiFePO4 systems produce no exhaust, no carbon monoxide and almost no noise, so they run in a basement, a utility closet, or beside your desk.
A standby generator is wired to your panel, starts automatically and runs on gas or propane. It covers more load but costs far more and needs permitting, an electrician and annual service. A battery is portable, needs no permit or fuel, and covers what you plug into it. For most households wanting the essentials covered without a five-figure project, the battery wins.
They work, but slower — expect meaningfully less than rated output on a short overcast December day, and nothing under snow. Solar is what extends you through a multi-day outage, not what powers you day to day. We size the array on winter numbers.
Bluetti uses LiFePO4 cells rated for thousands of cycles before dropping to 80% of original capacity. For backup use, where you might cycle a handful of times a year, that is a very long service life — and it is a more thermally stable chemistry than laptop lithium-ion.
Yes, and it is the pairing we recommend most. Recorder, PoE switch, modem and router together are usually well under 150 watts, so even a modest battery keeps cameras recording and remotely viewable for days. Break-ins do not wait for the power to come back.
