I'm a Tesla Certified Installer for Powerwall, Tesla's home battery system that keeps your essential circuits — or your whole house, depending on the setup — running during a utility outage. Paired with solar, it also lets you store power for later use. I handle the full electrical install: the Powerwall unit, the Backup Gateway, and tying it safely into your home's panel.
If a battery isn't the right fit for your budget or goals, I also install standby and portable generator transfer switches — a more traditional way to keep the power on when the grid goes down.
I review your panel, available wall/pad space, and which circuits you want backed up.

It depends on how many units you install and your home's total power draw. Many homeowners back up essential circuits (fridge, well pump, some lighting/outlets) with a single unit, and add a second for whole-home coverage. I'll walk through the math for your specific home.
No — a Powerwall can be installed as backup power on its own and charged from the grid. It's an even better value paired with solar, but it's not required.
Generators are often less expensive upfront and handle very large loads well, but need fuel and maintenance. Powerwall is silent, needs no fuel, and comes on instantly, but has a fixed storage capacity. I'll help you weigh the two for your situation.
"Nice young man. Arrived on time. Did a great job and cleaned up after. I highly recommend."
"Jason upgraded our panel and installed a Tesla charger same visit. Clean work, explained everything, fair price."
"Called about a tripped breaker that kept going out. He found the real problem instead of just resetting it. Honest guy."
