Home Battery Systems

Add reliable backup power and smarter energy savings. Our home battery systems store energy for use at night, during grid outages, and when utility rates spike—keeping essentials running and reducing your bills. We design for critical loads or whole-home backup, with options to add more storage over time.

What’s Included in a Professional Battery Installation

  • Load calculation & backup priorities (critical circuits vs. whole-home)
  • Right-sizing battery capacity (kWh) and output (kW) for your goals
  • Energy storage/inverter selection and layout planning
  • Critical-loads subpanel or whole-home transfer solution
  • Permitting, code compliance (NEC/UL) & utility coordination
  • Clean, labeled installation with proper clearances & protection
  • Commissioning, outage simulation & app-based monitoring setup
  • Time-of-Use optimization: charge off-peak, discharge on-peak
  • Solar and generator integration options; future expansion ready
  • Workmanship & manufacturer warranties, plus ongoing service
From keeping your fridge, lights, Wi-Fi, and medical devices powered to running larger loads with whole-home backup—we’ll engineer a safe, code-compliant system that matches your budget and resilience needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a home battery backup system?

A home battery system stores electricity from solar panels or the grid and provides backup power when the grid goes down. It ensures critical systems stay powered during outages.

Do I need solar panels to install a battery backup?

No — batteries can charge from the grid alone. However, pairing batteries with solar panels provides more savings, independence, and longer backup duration during outages.

How long can a battery power my home?

Backup duration depends on the size of the battery, your energy usage, and whether you’re backing up the whole house or just critical circuits. Typically, one battery can power essentials for 8–12 hours.

Can I run my whole home on batteries?

Yes, but whole-home backup usually requires multiple batteries. Many homeowners choose to back up only essentials like HVAC, refrigerators, lights, and outlets for efficiency.

How long do batteries last?

Most lithium-ion home batteries last 10–15 years, with warranties typically covering 8–12 years. Lifespan depends on usage cycles and maintenance.

Will a battery save me money?

Batteries can reduce electric bills by storing energy during off-peak hours and using it when utility rates are higher. With solar, they maximize self-consumption and savings.

Do batteries work during blackouts?

Yes — batteries automatically switch on during an outage, keeping your selected circuits running until the grid returns or the battery is depleted.

What brands of batteries do you install?

We install trusted brands such as Tesla Powerwall, Enphase Encharge, and Generac PWRcell, each offering different capacities and features to fit your home’s needs.

How much does a home battery system cost?

Costs vary depending on capacity, brand, and installation complexity. Typical systems range from $8,000–$15,000 per battery before incentives. Federal tax credits may apply.

Is financing available for battery systems?

Yes. We offer financing options that let you pay monthly, making it easier to add backup protection and energy savings without large upfront costs.

Don and the rest of the crew did an excellent job upgrading our house HVAC systems. Don spent hours dialing in our project. His quotes were extremely thorough and fit our budget. Steve performed the technical walk-through and the actual removal and new install, with Ivan. These guys worked their behinds off on two of the hottest days this Summer in the attic of our house--without a complaint or hesitation. Impressive! Impressive too that the job they did was excellent. We're really happy with our new variable speed system--it has been keeping us comfortable since it came online. Thanks to all the folks at U.S. Energy Solutions. We'd recommend them highly to anyone for their integrity, competency and true commitment to excellence in their work.

Ivan Gretchen and Steven Salazar did a great job installing my mom’s hv/ac unit and heat pump hot water heater. They both were very professional and very knowledgeable on the products they were installing sticking around to make sure my mom and I understood this new technology “new to us”. They left no mess and cleaned up all the old equipment that came out of the house.

Our technician was JC and he was professional, and very knowledgeable. Our Generac generator had nothing on the screen and it ended up that we needed a new battery( after 6 years). He also reconnected us to our WiFi which we also lost. He got it up and running, did all the regular maintenance, oil change, filters , etc and we are now good to go. We will never use another company. US Energy Solutions are the very best!!
