Can you introduce yourself?
So, your family was around in 2021 for the big storm. How did that go?
That storm was one of the most difficult moments in our lives. At the time, my wife and I were going through IVF, trying to conceive our first daughter.
The day of our embryo transfer was the same day the storm hit. We woke up to find the power out and the house freezing. It had dropped to 50 degrees inside overnight.
My wife was in the middle of treatment, taking medications and injections, and suddenly we had to make a choice. Do we stay in a house that was only getting colder, or do we leave and hope we could find power somewhere else?
We decided to leave, even though we did not know if the hotel we were going to would actually have electricity. If we had stayed, we might have lost the embryo. Even another twelve hours of power at home could have made all the difference.
What happened when you looked for a solution?
After that storm, I knew we needed something better. I started looking into backup systems, but the costs were overwhelming. The cheapest options were around five thousand dollars, and most were much higher. It just was not realistic for us.
That is when I started seeing Base online. At first, I ignored it because it seemed too good to be true. But eventually I clicked and decided to learn more. I spoke with Zach at Base, asked my questions, and realized it was the right fit. The installation could not have been easier. Everything was handled for us, and my only job was opening the garage door.
