How to choose

Home & power: what to know

Most Canadian emergencies do not involve leaving. They involve a cold, dark house and a wait. Home systems cover that: light for every room, backup power sized honestly, stored water at the federal 4 L per person per day, and sanitation when the plumbing stops.

Start with the Blackout Kit and the Home Water Kit. Add a power station sized to what you need to run, and step up to Home Base 14 for a complete two-week system.

Common questions

What size power station do I need for a power outage?

About 300 Wh keeps phones, lights and a Wi-Fi router going. About 1,000 Wh adds a CPAP for roughly three nights or a fridge for most of a day. About 2,000 Wh with solar runs a fridge for about a day or more and recharges from the sun in summer.

Can I use a generator or camp stove indoors during an outage?

No. Fuel-burning generators, barbecues, camp stoves and outdoor heaters produce carbon monoxide and must never be used indoors or in a garage. Health Canada advises running a generator at least 6 metres from any building. Battery power stations are safe indoors.

How much water should a household store?

About 4 L per person per day: 2 L for drinking and 2 L for food preparation and hygiene. For four people that is 48 L for 72 hours and 224 L for two weeks.
