Battery Backup for Cripple Creek Homes
Keep the essentials on in Cripple Creek when the grid goes down.
Battery Storage for Cripple Creek homes
Cripple Creek's high, sunny site is good for solar, and its winters make backup for heat a priority. Our Teller County crews already work nearby in Divide and Manitou Springs.
Backup only works if it's sized right. We check what your home draws, which circuits matter and how the battery will recharge, then design to that. Cripple Creek installs carry our 10-year workmanship warranty.
