Homes in Walmer, Summerstrand and Lorraine ask for inverters with lithium banks, while flats in Central and Humewood often choose plug-in units. Component suppliers to the automotive industry in Markman and Struandale ask for factory UPS and office backup, and there is steady work in shops and clinics in Newton Park.
