Home Backup Power
in Dallas, TX
When a storm rolls through and the power goes out, a home backup system can take over automatically. Apex helps Dallas homeowners choose a battery or standby generator for the lights and appliances they want to keep running.
The right system starts with your household, not the equipment. A family that needs the refrigerator, internet and a few lights has a different plan from one that wants to keep central cooling on. That is why the conversation starts with your priorities, not a product.
Signs it is time to plan for backup power
- Losing power when a storm rolls through
- Worry about spoiled food or a house that heats up quickly during an outage
- Someone working from home who needs internet and devices to stay on
- No clear plan for what stays on, and for how long, when the grid goes down
- A portable generator you would rather not have to set up in bad weather
What we do
Home battery backup
A battery stores electricity for when the grid goes down. Ask how long it would run the appliances you care about most, and what assumptions sit behind that number.
Standby generators
A permanently installed generator that starts automatically when the power goes out.
Automatic switchover
Ask how the system switches to backup power when the grid goes down and which circuits it covers, so you know what stays on without you having to do anything.
A priority list before a size
Sort appliances into essential, useful and optional before talking about size. Then ask what the proposed system can keep running, and for how long.
Battery or generator, explained
Clear trade-offs between the two, including the upkeep each one needs, so the choice fits your household.
Planning for Dallas outages
Thunderstorms, high winds and summer heat can all bring outages, and losing power on a hot afternoon gets uncomfortable quickly. Planning backup power alongside insulation and cooling helps the house hold its temperature longer and makes the most of the backup system you choose.

Backup Power questions
Should I choose a battery or a standby generator?
It depends on what you want to keep running, for how long, and the upkeep you are comfortable with. We walk through both options against your priority list during the free home visit.
Will backup power run my whole house?
Some systems cover essential circuits, others cover more. Your proposal should state what it can keep running, including whether central cooling is included, so there are no surprises during an outage.
Does the switch to backup power happen automatically?
It can. A battery or standby generator set up with an automatic transfer switch takes over on its own when the power goes out. Ask any proposal to confirm how the switchover works and what it covers.
