Power Outage

Backup Power Solutions in the West of Ireland

Living in the West of Ireland means unpredictable weather and frequent power cuts.
Atlantic storms can knock out electricity for hours or days.

Having a backup power system protects your home, business, and family during outages.


Why Backup Power Is Essential

Power cuts are becoming more common in rural Ireland.
Backup power keeps heating, lights, and appliances running during outages.
It also protects freezers, fridges, and essential electronics.
Medical devices and wifi stay operational with a reliable backup system.


Backup Power Options

1. Generators

Generators provide fast, reliable electricity during outages.
Modern generators are quiet, efficient, and can power your whole home or essentials.

2. Solar Power

Solar panels produce clean, renewable energy.
Paired with battery storage, they provide reliable backup during storm season.

3. Battery Storage Systems

Battery systems store electricity for off-grid or emergency use.
They can power lights, heating, and appliances during short or long outages.

4. Wind Turbines

Small wind turbines suit coastal and rural areas.
Combined with batteries, they create effective off-grid power solutions.


Considering Your Budget

Backup power systems fit all budgets.

Entry Level: Small generator and manual changeover switch for essentials.
Mid-Range: Larger generator with automatic or manual changeover switch.
Premium: Solar + battery + optional wind turbine for full off-grid capability.

Peter Burke Electrical Ltd helps choose the best solution for your budget and needs.


The Importance of a Changeover Switch

A changeover switch safely switches your home from ESB power to generator power.
It prevents dangerous back-feeding into ESB lines.
It also protects appliances from electrical surges.
Changeover switches make backup power safe, quick, and stress-free.
