About PowerProof Home

Why we built PowerProof Home, how we research, and how we make money.

Keep the lights on. Spend less on power. PowerProof Home helps homeowners choose, size and safely use backup power, and cut the energy they pay for: home generators and transfer switches, home batteries and power stations, home solar, EV charging, outage preparedness and energy efficiency.

Our story

PowerProof Home was founded by Jeremy Jarvis to be the resource he wanted when comparing backup power: clear numbers, honest trade-offs, safety guidance from official sources, and calculators that show their work, instead of sales pages that push the biggest unit.

What we believe

  • Safety first. We follow CDC, CPSC, USDA and Ready.gov guidance and say clearly when a licensed electrician is required.
  • Right-size everything. The right generator or battery is the smallest one that reliably covers your real loads.
  • Honesty over hype. We separate fact from opinion, cite sources and say what we have and have not tested.
  • Helpful before commercial. Recommendations come from reader needs, never from commission rates.

How we make money
