Battery Backup for Floyd Hill Homes
Battery storage for Floyd Hill: automatic backup, sized to your home.
Battery Storage for Floyd Hill homes
Floyd Hill is CORE territory, so Xcel's battery rebates don't apply, but the case for backup on a windy foothill ridge still holds. We serve Floyd Hill from the same crews that work in Idaho Springs and Blackhawk.
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. Floyd Hill installs carry our 10-year workmanship warranty.
