I am impressed by Base's use of technology to manage our power and thereby save me money. Their app is very useful and will developed. Knowing that I have battery backup is a welcome addition - and the price is right. They have always responded to all comments in a timely fashion and their public announcements are very useful and informative. Fortunately I have not had - yet - had to rely on the battery, but that demonstrates to me that in spite of all the horrible weather we have had, I can rely on maintaining the poser I would need should it becomes necessary.

Switched to Base Power for backup power and energy provider in Magnolia, TX about 6 months ago and the whole experience has been affordable and seamless. Their home battery kicks in instantly during outages—no noisy generator and no interruption to daily life. The flat-rate energy plan gives us predictable, below-market electricity bills with no surprises Installation was fast and professional, and during a recent storm, the battery kept us powered for over 18 hours… complete peace of mind. Highly recommend Base Power for anyone in the Houston area wanting dependable backup power, transparent pricing and great customer service!

Great Install and Product Thanks….

We're happy to answer all your questions

Who is my energy provider?

If you receive your monthly energy service from Farmers, you will continue to do so with the installation of a Base battery.

Does my energy provider change when I get a Base battery?

No. Your energy provider does not change when you get a Base battery. If you see language about energy provider services on Base’s website, this is because Base also serves customers in competitive (deregulated) service areas of Texas. If you live in a competitive area, your zip code will return plans here.

How does grid-balancing work during an outage?

During an outage, the batteries automatically detect the loss of grid voltage and immediately disconnect your house from the grid. At that point, the battery supplies energy exclusively to your home—you are legally entitled to this energy, and our batteries will never discharge to the grid during an outage. Once the outage is over, your battery seamlessly reconnects your house to the grid and resumes normal operation.
