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!

We're happy to answer all your questions

How does Base cut my power bill by up to 15%?

Before your install, we'll walk you through the energy plan you'd be switching to. If we installed today, that would mean ComEd's hourly pricing plan: Base uses the battery to automatically shift your consumption into lower-cost hours, helping you capture up to 15% savings. By the time we install for early access members, additional retail supply options may also be available that offer more predictable savings. You'll review and approve the plan before install — and if it's not right for you, we'll refund your deposit in full.

‍

What does early access timeline look like for an install?

Registering today reserves your spot in our install queue. Early access members who sign up now can expect their install in early summer. We'll be in touch along the way with updates on your timeline and anything we need to get your home ready.

‍

How does Base work with ComEd?

ComEd owns the lines and wires connecting your home to the grid — that never changes with Base. We're the battery and optimization layer on top of your existing setup. Think of it this way: ComEd keeps the power flowing from the grid. Base keeps it on when the grid doesn't.

‍

Is Base too good to be true?

Fair question. Here's the honest answer: Base makes money from the grid, not from you. When your battery isn't backing up your home, it's supporting grid stability — and utilities pay Base for that service. That revenue is what lets us offer installation, backup protection, and bill savings at a fraction of what a traditional home generator costs. Over 10,000 homeowners in Texas are already on the system. The model works because the battery works for two parties at once: you and the grid.

‍

What energy plan will I need to sign up for when I get the battery?

We will enroll you in a plan that allows Base to shift your energy consumption to lower priced hours and save you up to 15%. If we installed today, you would be placed on ComEd’s hourly pricing plan. Other retail supply plans may be available closer to your installation date — including fixed-price or alternative structures — that could provide additional or more predictable savings. We will present you with the best available plan prior to installation. If you don’t like it, you may request a refund of your deposit.
