Don't wait for the lights to go out (Again)!
We all breathed a sigh of relief last week. While the weather ended up being milder than predicted, the threat of outages was a wake-up call for many of us.
Our phones were ringing off the hook with customers concerned about the possibility of power outages.
You don't need to spend a fortune to be safe. At Innovative Electrical Systems (IES), we believe every home deserves a plan. We have put together a 2026 Power Security Guide featuring
options for every budget—from portable plug-in units to cutting-edge smart battery systems.
We have solutions for every need:
-Portable Power: We offer a full range of generators delivered to your door.
-The Professional Hookup: Safe, legal connections for back feeding your home.
-Automatic Gas Generators: Hands-free backup that runs on natural gas or propane.
-Battery & Solar Solutions: We offer Craftstrom, EcoFlow, EG4 and Sol-Ark systems. These provide silent, instant power and are Solar Ready—meaning you can add solar panels now or
later to charge them for free.
How to get started: We are scheduling specific consultations to review your home's electrical system and recommend the right fit. Give us a call or send us an email!
Don't wait for the next storm warning.
Let's get a plan in place today!
2026 POWER SECURITY PRICING GUIDE
At IES, we believe every home deserves a plan for when the lights go out. Whether you want a simple setup for your fridge or a fully automatic solar-ready battery system, we have a solution that fits your needs.

Shipping Note: Please allow for shipping times as we do not keep these units on site. We ship them directly from the manufacturer to your driveway.
PROFESSIONAL HOME CONNECTION
A generator is only useful if you can get the power inside safely. We install a dedicated Power Inlet Box on your home's exterior and a switching mechanism at your panel, allowing you to power your home with a single cord.
-Standard Generator Connection
Estimated Installed Range: $750 – $2,500
What We Do: We inspect your electrical service and install the safest, code-compliant connection method for your specific home.
Methods We Use: Depending on your panel age and type, we will install a Generator Interlock Kit, a Manual Transfer Switch, or a Select Circuit Sub-Panel.
The Result: No more running extension cords through windows. You simply plug the generator into the inlet box, flip the switch, and your home has power.
