Asked often.
Whole-home or partial backup?
Depends on your loads and budget. Partial (essential circuits) often delivers most of the value at a fraction of the cost — we model both so you choose with numbers.
How long will a battery run my house?
That’s exactly what duration modeling answers — it depends on which circuits and what’s running. You’ll see realistic scenarios before you buy.
Does a battery work without solar?
Yes — it charges from the grid and carries you through outages. Pairing with solar extends runtime indefinitely for sized loads.
Which brand is best?
The one that fits your home’s loads, panel, and goals. We’re certified on all three majors precisely so we don’t have to push one.
How long will a battery run my house?
It depends entirely on load — a right-sized essentials-only design can run a day or more per charge, and pairing with solar recharges it daily. We model it from your usage before quoting, so the answer is yours, not an average.
Which brands do you install?
We’re Enphase and FranklinWH certified, SPAN certified for smart-panel control, and we service existing systems including Tesla Powerwall. The recommendation follows your loads and goals — we’ll tell you when the cheaper option is the right one.
Whole-home, essentials-only, and the honest middle.
Battery design is three questions: what must stay on, for how long, and what does your panel allow. Essentials-only backup — refrigeration, internet, lights, a window of HVAC — costs less and covers most real outages. Whole-home backup is genuinely seamless but demands more capacity, and with a SPAN smart panel the middle path opens up: every circuit backed up, with the system shedding loads intelligently as an outage stretches.
We’re certified across Enphase, FranklinWH, and SPAN precisely so the recommendation can fit your house instead of a sales quota — and if you already own solar, we’ll design the battery to recharge from it daily, which turns a one-day backup into an indefinite one. Existing batteries are serviceable too, including Tesla Powerwall systems and batteries whose installer has disappeared.
Install day, and the days after.
A typical residential battery install is a one-to-two-day job: mounting and wiring the unit, integrating the backup circuits (or smart panel), commissioning, and walking you through the app before we leave. Then comes the part most installers skip explaining: the utility. The system interconnects through your utility’s review process, and final permission to operate arrives on the utility’s clock, not ours — we file everything, track it, and tell you honestly where it stands.
Monitoring goes in your name from day one, so you’re never dependent on us (or anyone) to see your own system. After commissioning: a written record of the install, your warranty paperwork organized in one place, and a ten-year workmanship warranty on everything we touched. What moves the price is capacity, whether panel work is needed, and smart-panel integration — all itemized before you commit.
Local, and provably so.
