Power, with backup built in.
Here's how it works.

Base Power is more than just affordable power. Backup batteries protect Texans from blackouts and keep your family protected.

Running on grid
A Base home running on the grid

When the grid's up, you're saving money.

Base gives you a low fixed rate locked in for 3 years.

On renewal, your rate's legally guaranteed to be below market average.
/kWh + delivery fees

So, what happens next?

  1. A Base team member opening the lid of a Base battery

    See if Base is a fit for your home.

    You can talk with one of our energy advisors, or take your time exploring (you're already in the right place).

    When you're ready, enter your zip code to check your home's eligibility and next steps.
  2. A Base engineer reviewing a home's setup

    We'll review your setup.

    Our engineers will confirm whether your home qualifies — and if so, for how many batteries (0, 1, or 2).

    From there, we'll handle all the paperwork and logistics.
  3. A Base technician on installation day

    Installation. We've got it covered.

    Your install happens in two visits. On the first, we install the electrical equipment and get your home ready for the battery.

    Within three weeks we're back to install the battery outside near your meter. No one needs to be home, and your power stays on.

    After that, your home is backed up, connected, and ready for whatever comes next.

I have been interested in Base for a while. My area has frequent power outages. Not long ones but enough. My past power provider wanted me to renew with a 4 year contract without any price reduction. Base had them beat. In doing the math this was the obvious choice, for power and a power back-up. Other options were exceedingly costly, monthly payments, maintenance payments, apparently for up to 9 years.... That alone made Base my choice. Getting set up was smooth. Excellent professional installers arrived on time with all the necessary equipment to do it right.

I just passed my one year anniversary and I love BASE. When I first started with BASE I knew that this would be one of my greatest decisions ever as a homeowner or a terrible decision. I am on cloud nine and couldn’t be happier with the entire BASE experience. I have 100% Peace of Mind as a homeowner. I live in Houston Texas and I have experienced every hurricane here since 1980. I highly recommend BASE to everyone.

Angelo V

Team just left our house after installation. The entire process has been so seamless and communication was fantastic! They have made it as easy as possible. The team were a great group of young men, worked so hard in the heat. So appreciative of everything so far and for the peace of mind as hurricane season starts. Highly recommend!

Cat

I recommend switching to BASE power. It is better and more cost effective than a standby generator. This cost is the same or lower than most providers, and you get eight to twenty hours of standby power, plus the option to add a generator port to charge the battery and extend the time (which I did), so you get the best of both worlds. The installation was awesome, their techs know the NEC and know what they are doing. They handle your HOA and everything. Glad I made the switch.

David Kalinec

I have nothing but great things to say about Base Power. Great bunch of people for starters. The system works super well. We have found out that power has failed because our neighbors asked if anyone else has lost power (we didn’t 😊). I 100% recommend this over any other backup option. We added a plug for our external generator in case there is a longer outage. When you do a cost/benefit analysis, this solution is unbeatable. Give it a try!

Carlos Contreras

Great company to deal with, the install went smooth. There is a long vetting process to ensure their battery systems are a good fit for your location next to your electrical panel. I have had savings soon on my electrical bill, the app is great shows you what your daily power spending is. I had a generator connection to allow you to charge the system during the day and run on batteries at night on the event there is a long outage. Highly recommend this company.

R B

I researched Tesla solar battery power, generac, and base power. I think base wins due to no maintenance and way lower cost. It looks great outside and no noise. Professional installation.

Eliseo Navarrete

We added base power to our home for added security that we will not lose power. Their communication and service has been exceptional. I was amazed at the tidiness of their work when they installed the batteries. Initially, I was concerned about the decision but now that everything is installed I am confident it was a good idea. They have been a good company to deal with and I highly recommend them.

Ray Nannis

Everyone needs these battery systems! Help yourself and your neighbors at the same time. This is the future for power outages and costly expansion of power grids. Check it out and get approved asap. You will not regret doing this and you will sleep better knowing that you’ll have reliable power during your next outage. I ended up with two batteries, 50kWh of power. 100% confidence that my cpap machine will work all night!

Gordon RN

Totally satisfied with BASE. Great rate for energy, and the battery kicks in seamlessly when the grid goes down. No issues for me. And no generator noise!!

Jonathan Sullivan

Great company to work with so far. Smooth process, communicating was clear, and honest. Our system was installed yesterday, apparently there was a power outage today in the neighborhood and we really didn't even notice.

Michael Carpenter

This is a great deal as we travel a lot in our RV and with Base we can protect our freezer and home while we're away. Price is very competitive and great customer service.

Jim Goodman

I’ve had three outages in my area since my Base was installed (5 mos.) All three were barely noticeable other than my WiFi resetting itself afterwards. I highly recommend.

I'm an early adopter of BASE and love it. I enjoy the peace of mind of knowing a power outage is less of a worry, and the competitive pricing for electricity is the icing on the cake. I couldn't be happier!

Jeff Semler

Eugene and apprentice Cedric were great battery installers. Didn't mind at all as I asked questions during the installation. Area was left spotless after install. Almost rooting for a local power outage now that it won't affect me :).

Paperwork and power companies

We coordinate everything with your utility (CenterPoint) to make sure you're all squared away. We'll even switch you over from your current electricity provider and cover up to $250 in any cancellation fees.

A family at home

Built to be flexible, even if you move

Your energy rate is locked in for 3 years, and the battery agreement lasts 12. If the new homeowner signs up for Base, everything transfers easily. If not, we'll remove the system for a flat $500 — no matter when you move.
