Whole-home backup, built for Farmers members.

Base adds a whole-home backup battery that protects your home automatically when the grid goes down.

Running on grid
A Farmers member's home, still powered by the co-op

We added base power to our home for added security that we will not loose 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.

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!

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!

The entire process was extremely smooth. From the pre qualifying to the battery installation. Kyler and Willie came out to do the pre installation and wiring and did a fantastic job. They were early, did more than expected (I had not made room in the garage near the breaker box, which they ended up doing), installed the wiring perfectly straight and clean, and leaving the job site spotless. The very next day, the battery was installed and tested and is now up and running. I definitely recommend Base Power!

I have had a BASE Power battery in my home for over 2 months and it is working great. The installation was smoothly done, everybody on the team was very professional. We experienced an outrage and the battery started immediately. I am glad that I installed it.

Carlos Casillas

Installers did a great job and were able to put batteries in my preferred location. We had a 4 hour power outage about 2 weeks after installation and the batteries worked perfectly. Our microwave and oven clocks even stayed on. So far, Base Power has done everything they said they would and did a great job communicating with me throughout the process.

Vic Smart

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

Base has an easy and professional set up. They also put a soft start on my air conditioner. I’ve had Base for eight months now, love it! No more worries about power outages!

Monique Carbone

Love my Base battery, I run a non profit, so having puppies in the home needed heat our base battery kicked in without us even knowing there was a power outage

Carla Carroll

Extremely impressed with the Base team and the system they installed. The registration and installation process was incredibly easy and our battery backup has been an added peace of mind. The Base team is easy to contact if I have any questions.

Scott Lambert

Base power has kept my power on through 3 outages. It's a great company, and a great concept. I totally recommend signing up and getting this innovative battery backup system for your home.

Paul Ivory

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 :).

Ralph Coleman

Base Power has been a great decision for keeping our lights on during frequent outages and the peace of mind that comes with that is priceless.

Heidi Wind

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.
