George notes on ups & portable power
George has many retirees, and a fair share of UPS questions come from people using oxygen concentrators or other home medical devices in Heatherlands and Kingswood; ask the supplier to size a unit for the device's watts and the hours needed, and keep a manual backup plan. Pharmacies on York Street protect computers and fridges. Holiday homes in Wilderness keep a portable power station, and families in Thembalethu often start with a router UPS.
Backing up in George
George is the business and service centre of the Garden Route, and George Municipality supplies the town while Eskom serves some farms and outlying areas. Outages come from storms, wind, cable theft and faults on long lines along the coast and into the mountains. Retirees in Heatherlands and Blanco ask for simple inverter systems to run lights, TV, wifi and the fridge, and some for home medical devices. Dairy farms and hops and berry growers inland ask about backup for milking parlours, pumps and cold rooms. Rain falls year-round, humidity is high near the coast, and the Outeniqua mountains attract lightning, so ask about dry placement and surge protection.

- Farms and smallholdings: electric fence energiser batteries and backed up cameras at the gates and stores
