Battery Backup for Blue Valley Homes
Keep the essentials on in Blue Valley when the grid goes down.
Battery Storage for Blue Valley homes
Blue Valley homes are near I-70 but still on mountain lines, so we plan backup around winter loads like heat and freeze protection. Our Clear Creek County crews already work nearby in Idaho Springs and Blackhawk.
We list the loads you need during an outage, such as heat, refrigeration, lights, internet and any well pump, check your panel and where a battery can go, and size the system to match. Every Blue Valley install carries our 10-year workmanship warranty.

What's different about battery backup in Blue Valley
- We haven't confirmed which utility serves every Blue Valley address, so confirm your utility from your bill. We don't count any rebate until it's confirmed.
- Batteries can store daytime solar for evening use, not just sit waiting for an outage.
- If your home is on a well, we measure the pump's startup draw before sizing, since it is often the biggest backup load.
