Everything You Need to Survive Loadshedding

Survive the stress of power outages with loadshedding essentials. There is no doubt that loadshedding has had a massive impact on South Africans in almost every way. While businesses have the added advantage of high-powered generators, the average home does not have these resources. You don’t have to spend a fortune to keep the lights on when the power goes out. In this guide, we share some of the most important loadshedding essentials that will see you through power cuts.

Loadshedding Essentials for Your Home

Our top picks for loadshedding essentials include the following:

Gas stove

Changing from an electric hob to a gas stove will make a huge difference in many ways. Besides saving you a lot of electricity outside of loadshedding, gas also allows you to cook when there’s no power. A gas hob or stove uses very little gas, even if you use it daily.

Power bank

Another useful tool to have even when there is no loadshedding is a power bank. A solar charging power bank can be charged without the need for electricity. Once it’s charged, you will be able to use it to keep your phone or other gadgets charged. Some have LED torches as well, making them even more useful. 

UPS

A UPS is a must-have to power your IP cameras, cordless home phones and WiFi routers. Having WiFi during loadshedding will allow you to stay connected with the help of high-capacity batteries that keep devices running when there is no power. 

Solar lighting

Finally, solar lighting can also be extremely helpful during loadshedding. These lights can be used indoors or outdoors on patios or near front doors. Wall-mounted lights are best for outdoor areas. Solar lanterns are a versatile choice for indoors, as they are mobile and can be carried around the house.
