About Guard My Power
Hi, I’m Alex — founder of GuardMyPower.com.
Stay Ready. Stay Powered.
When I moved from the Midwest to Southwest Florida, I had no idea what to expect when it came to hurricanes, torrential rain, and sudden power outages. In the Midwest, storms usually meant snow or wind — but here, I quickly learned that losing power wasn’t rare. It was something you had to be ready for.
The first time the power went out during a storm, I was completely unprepared. No lights. No internet. No way to keep food cold or devices charged. I realized I needed reliable backup power — fast. But when I started searching, it got overwhelming: gas vs. solar? Wattage? Inverters? Hookups?
That’s when I decided to create GuardMyPower.com — to help people like me (and maybe like you) understand backup power in simple, practical terms.

My Mission
I believe backup power should be simple to understand, easy to set up, and affordable to maintain. My goal is to cut through the jargon and marketing hype so you can make confident, informed decisions that protect your family, your home, and your peace of mind.
Why Guard My Power Is Different
There are plenty of generator review sites out there, but here’s what makes Guard My Power unique:
- No fluff, no hype — just straightforward reviews and comparisons.
- Real-world perspective — I write as someone who’s lived through outages and learned by doing.
