Battery Backup for Sugarloaf Homes
Plan your Sugarloaf battery around the loads that matter most.
Battery Storage for Sugarloaf homes
Sugarloaf homes are a long way from the nearest substation, so a battery that carries the well, the furnace and the fridge through a shutoff is the main event here. We serve Sugarloaf from the same crews that work in Nederland and Jamestown.
Our first visit covers your panel, your service and the circuits you want backed up. From there we size a battery, or several, to cover them. Every install in Sugarloaf carries our 10-year workmanship warranty.
