Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best backup power option for homes in snowy or remote areas?
Whole house batteries are the best options in most cases, as they can be located indoors away from the snow. However, if you often experience long outages for days instead of hours, a whole house backup generator would be necessary.
How do I choose the right home generator for emergency power outages?
New Tahoe Electric will evaluate your entire situation and come up with the best options for your home.
What causes power outages in the Truckee and Lake Tahoe area?
In this area, we are subject to severe winter storms that can blow down power lines and create extended outages. In the summer fire season, utility companies often shut down power, especially when fires break out.
How long can a home backup system power my house during an outage?
The duration depends on the type and size of your system. Whole-home generators can run as long as they have fuel, while battery backup systems typically last several hours to a full day depending on usage. We design systems based on your essential power needs to maximize runtime.
What’s the difference between a generator and a battery backup system?
Generators produce electricity using fuel like propane or natural gas and can run for extended periods. Battery backup systems store electricity and provide silent, instant power but have limited runtime. Many homeowners choose a combination of both for reliable, long-term backup.
