Battery Backup for Matheson Homes
Battery storage for Matheson: automatic backup, sized to your home.
Battery Storage for Matheson homes
Matheson ranch homes depend on long MVEA lines, and a battery keeps the essentials going when a plains storm takes them down. Our Elbert County crews already work nearby in Simla and Kiowa.
A good battery plan for Matheson is specific: which circuits, for how long, and how it recharges. We work that out on site and stand behind the install with a 10-year workmanship warranty.

What's different about battery backup in Matheson
- Matheson is served by Mountain View Electric Association (MVEA), not Xcel Energy, so Xcel's battery programs don't apply. We check what your utility currently offers for batteries before we quote.

- 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.
