Battery Backup for Divide Homes
Forest, open parks and long Teller County lines. Keep water and heat on when they trip.
Battery Storage for Divide homes
Divide and Florissant mix dense timber with wide mountain parks, and the power lines cross both. Wind sweeps the open stretches while the forest raises wildfire risk, so outages here come from more than one direction.
Most homes outside town rely on a well, so we size a battery for the pump along with the furnace blower, fridge and internet. Switchover is automatic, and our 10-year workmanship warranty covers the work.

Battery rebates in Divide

Why Divide loses power
CORE's wildfire mitigation presentation to Clear Creek County lists Woodland Park among its districts and describes alternate relay settings: a fast trip with a single reclose. A persistent fault can leave a line off; we confirm the service address in the Woodland Park district before planning your Divide project.
Between timber and open parks, Divide lines face both wildfire-season settings and high wind. A battery lets your essentials ride through either.

Divide battery backup FAQs
Can you add a battery to my existing solar in Divide?
Generally, yes. We look at the inverter, main panel and ownership, and check whether your well pump can join the backup circuits. If your system is leased, we'll review your lease terms.
Why does my Divide power cut out on dry, windy days?
CORE can set lines in risk areas to fast-trip with a single reclose. If a fault persists, crews have to check the line before power returns. A battery covers your selected circuits automatically meanwhile.
Can a battery run the well pump at my Divide or Florissant home?
Often, with proper sizing. Most developed Teller County lots rely on wells, as the Gazette has noted, and pumps surge on startup. We measure that surge on site and size the battery to handle it with your other loads.
Which battery brands do you install in Divide, and how do you size them?
Enphase, Tesla Powerwall, Franklin (FranklinWH) and EG4, all certified for us. We start with the pump and heat, then add the fridge and internet. Runtime depends on use. A 10-year workmanship warranty comes with every install.
