Load-Shedding and Your Stay: What to Ask Before Booking

UPS, solar or generator? What backup power really means for AC and Wi-Fi in a rental, and the questions to ask before booking in Bahria Town.

By the TwinCity Appartments team · Updated

Furnished bedroom with split AC and decorative wall panelling, available daily or monthly

"Backup available" can mean very different things. Here is what each type of backup actually powers, so you can book the right room for your needs.

Generator

A building generator can power most appliances, often including AC. It is the best option for summer stays.

UPS / inverter

A UPS typically runs lights, fans, Wi-Fi and TV, but usually not AC. Fine for short outages and work calls.

Solar

Solar-assisted systems reduce outages during the day; capacity at night depends on batteries.

Questions to ask

Before you book:

  • Does the AC run on backup?
  • Is the Wi-Fi router on backup?
  • How long can the backup run?
  • Is there any extra charge?

At TwinCity Appartments

Every unit has backup. Tell us if AC on backup is essential, and we will place you in a generator-backed unit.
