Getting a UPS is on the list of things to get, we're also going to get some security cameras at some point, so will want to keep those running when the power is out.

It would also be handy to keep the fridge and freezer running during an outage.

You’ll be looking at a high capacity UPS for fridge/freezer if the outage is more than an hour or so, plus the complicated fitting of it into the power system. What we did was fit plug-in spike suppressors on ours after one outage splatted our kitchen fridge/freezer.
