Why a Backup Home Power Generator Is Essential, And Why Power Stations Are the Smarter Choice.
In today's world, power outages aren’t just inconvenient—they can disrupt work, damage appliances, spoil food, and compromise safety. That’s why many Australian and New Zealand households are turning to backup home power generators to stay prepared. But not all backup systems are created equal.
At PowerGuard, we've spent over 40 years protecting Australian homes from power-related threats. Now, we’re bringing that same level of trust and innovation to the portable power market, with a cleaner, smarter, and more reliable alternative to traditional fuel-powered generators.
What Is a Backup Home Power Generator?
A backup home power generator is a device that provides electricity during a blackout or grid failure. Traditionally, these systems are fuel-powered (usually petrol or diesel), noisy, and require regular maintenance. While they do the job, they come with significant downsides—noise pollution, exhaust fumes, fuel storage risks, and high running costs.
Modern alternatives, like solar rechargeable portable power stations, are changing the landscape.
