Storm Season · 1 December to the end of February
Have power ready before the storm hits.
We deliver a fully charged power station to your home before winter and collect it at the end of February. If a storm takes your power out, it’s already there. You pay one price for the whole winter, and there are no daily charges.
From £345 for the whole winter (about £27 a week), plus delivery and collection.
Why keep one at home?
In a big storm, the hardest part is getting power to you
When thousands of homes lose power at once, fallen trees block roads and every hire company is busy. With Storm Season, your power station is already plugged in and charged before the first storm arrives.
- Delivered fully charged, with the extension leads you need
- Keep it plugged into a wall socket, so it stays full and ready
- Most units take over in milliseconds when the power goes off, so the fridge stays cold
- Use it as much as you need: there’s no extra charge for using it
- If a cut lasts longer than the battery, we’ll swap it for a fully charged one. Each swap costs £20, or £1 a mile from our Truro depot if you’re further than 20 miles away (for example Penzance £25, Bude £59), including the trip. You only pay it if you need one
- We collect it on the last day of February
A power station in each room
Every room gets its own power station
Nothing is wired into your home, so everything plugs into a power station with an extension lead. For safety, each room has its own power station, so no leads run under doors or across the stairs. We choose the cheapest one that runs everything in that room, and every extra power station is 20% off.
Kitchen
An Elite 200 V2 keeps a fridge-freezer cold for over a day, with a socket spare for the kettle.
Living room
An Elite 100 V2 runs the Wi-Fi router, lamps and TV, and charges phones on a 4-way lead.
Bedroom
An Elite 30 V2 or Elite 100 V2 runs a CPAP machine or electric blanket through the night.
Our finder works out the right size for each room from your own list.

Storm Season always ends on the last day of February. It isn’t a rolling contract, and it doesn’t renew. Each winter is a new booking.

Storm Season questions
What is Storm Season?
We deliver a fully charged power station to your home and leave it with you from 1 December until the last day of February. If a storm cuts your power, it’s already there. You pay one price for the whole winter, however much you use it.
Why does it end in February?
Cornwall’s worst recent storms have all hit between December and February. Storm Season always ends on the last day of February, so the hire never runs longer than 3 months and never renews by itself. You can book again the next winter.
Can I start later than 1 December?
Yes. You can start any day up to 31 January. If you start after December, you pay for each month or part-month instead, and never more than the winter price.
Do I need to keep it charged?
Keep it plugged into a wall socket and it stays full. Most of our units take over within milliseconds if the power goes off, so the fridge and Wi-Fi stay on. Check the display once a month, and call us if anything looks wrong.
What if a power cut lasts longer than the battery?
Call us when the battery gets to about 20% and we’ll swap it for a fully charged one as soon as the roads are safe. Each swap costs £1 a mile from our Truro depot, at least £20 (for example Penzance £25, Bude £59), including the trip, on top of your daily hire, which carries on as normal. We size the power station to last up to about 3 days on one charge, so most cuts need no swap at all.
Can I have one in each room?
Yes, and we always do: for safety, each room gets its own power station, so no extension leads run between rooms. Every power station after the first is 20% off.
What if I don’t have a power cut?
The price pays for having power ready all winter, so it’s the same whether or not the power goes off. If the power station develops a fault, we’ll replace it.
