Inverters are devices that convert DC power to AC power. You might have seen one before in the form of a grid-tied solar system or an RV battery charger. Inverters are also used to run appliances and other electronics when there’s no grid power available, such as during load shedding or camping trips. An inverter may not be something you think about every day, but it’s important for anyone who wants peace of mind during an emergency situation.

Below are things to consider before purchasing an inverter:

How long will you be using it?

How long you want to use the inverter is an important consideration when making your purchase. If you are only going to use it occasionally, then a smaller capacity model may be sufficient. On the other hand, if you are planning on using it quite often and/or need to run high-power devices such as refrigerators, microwaves, or washing machines (when there is no power in your home), then go for a larger inverter with a higher wattage output capacity that can handle more load before needing to recharge its battery.

What power do you need?

Deciding what size of inverter you need is a matter of identifying the devices you want to power, and then choosing an inverter that can handle their combined power demand.

There are two components when it comes to generating electricity: the generator and the battery. If you only need to power a few devices, such as lights or a laptop computer, then you may be able to get away with using a smaller inverter with lower wattage than if your goal was to run more powerful appliances like televisions or refrigerators.

How long is the warranty?

You should also check the warranty on the inverter. The length of a warranty is often an indicator of how well it has been designed and manufactured, so a long warranty can be an indication that you’ll get more use out of your investment.
