Permits for backup power
Generators and batteries need a permit and inspection. Batteries add a utility interconnection application, approved at the utility's pace. We file it, line up gas work, and itemize the fees.

Backup power questions
Can a portable backup battery run my whole house?
No, it's for essentials. For the whole house, look at a standby generator or home battery.
Do you sell portable backup batteries?
Yes. We supply one or install the one you bought.
Do you charge for the quote?
No. An electrician looks at the job in person and quotes it, free.
