What it is

How does home battery storage work?

A home battery stores electricity (from the grid, from your solar panels, or both) and releases it when you need it. When the grid goes down, it automatically keeps your essential circuits running: fridge, heat, lights, medical equipment, internet. No generator, no gas, no noise.

Installing one is more than mounting a box on the wall. It ties into your electrical panel through a transfer switch or backup gateway, needs correctly-sized wiring and overcurrent protection, and must be configured to power the right circuits safely, which is why it's core electrical work, not a plug-and-play appliance: done wrong, it can backfeed the grid and endanger utility crews.

At Heliotek, battery storage is core electrical work. We're licensed electricians first. We size the system to what you actually want to back up, integrate it with your panel (and your solar, if you have it), and commission it to run safely for years.

What we sort out before install day

  • What you want to back up: whole home or essentials
  • The best location for the battery and gateway
  • Whether your panel needs work to integrate the battery
  • How it ties into existing or planned solar
  • Permit requirements and any local utility storage programs

What affects your price?

Every home is different. What moves the price: how much you want to back up, the number of batteries, your battery and gateway hardware, whether it integrates with existing or new solar, your panel's condition, and municipal permit fees ($100–$500). Your written quote includes everything: materials, labor, permits, and inspection. You're paying for licensed electricians, one in-house crew with no subcontractors, and a job that's permitted, inspected, and signed off by our master electrician.

Why Heliotek

Why homeowners choose Heliotek

Most battery quotes come from a solar-panel sales outfit that subcontracts the wiring. Here's what a licensed electrical contractor does differently.

🛡️

Master-electrician approved

Every battery install is done by licensed electricians and signed off by our master electrician. A battery is a high-current device wired straight into your service: done by an unlicensed installer, it can backfeed the grid, void your warranty, and put your home at risk. We do it to code, every time.

👷

One crew: panel to battery

No subcontractors, no handoffs. If your panel needs work to integrate the battery, the same crew handles it: one permit, one team, one visit. We can add or upgrade solar at the same time, too.

Engineered for what's next

We size your system for what you want to back up today and where you're headed. Adding solar, a second battery, or an EV charger later? We'll plan the capacity now so you're not paying to redo it.

FAQ

Battery storage, answered

Why does a proper install cost more than the cheapest quote?
Because a battery is a high-current device wired straight into your home's electrical service, not an appliance you plug in. Every Heliotek install is done by licensed electricians, signed off by our master electrician, permitted and inspected to code, and handled by one in-house crew, no subcontractors. That's what keeps your home safe, your warranty valid, and utility crews protected. A cheap install that fails inspection or backfeeds the grid costs far more than doing it right once.
How long does a battery install take?
Most single-battery installs are completed in one to two days. Whole-home systems with multiple batteries, panel work, or solar integration can take longer. We'll give you an exact timeline in your written quote before we start.
Do I need a permit, and will it pass inspection?
Yes. Battery storage installs require a municipal electrical permit and inspection, and often utility approval to interconnect. We pull all permits, handle the utility paperwork, and schedule inspections as part of every job, and we don't consider the work finished until it's signed off. Permit fees ($100–$500 depending on your town) are included in your quote.
Will the battery power my whole house?
It depends on how much you install. A single battery typically backs up essential circuits (fridge, heat, lights, internet) for many hours. Whole-home backup needs more capacity and often multiple batteries. During your assessment we'll help you decide what's worth backing up and size the system to match.
Do I need solar to get a battery?
No. A battery works on its own: it charges from the grid (often during cheaper off-peak hours) and powers your home during an outage. Pairing it with solar lets you store what you generate and rely less on the grid, and we can install both together or add a battery to a system you already have.
