Most backup systems protect a handful of critical circuits — your refrigerator, a few lights, maybe a phone charger. That is not whole-home backup. Whole home backup power means your heating system, water heater, well pump, kitchen appliances, HVAC, and every other circuit in your house stays fully operational the moment the grid goes down — exactly as if nothing happened. No load shedding, no manually switching between protected and unprotected circuits, no compromises.
BiG Energy engineers and installs whole house backup power systems for residential properties across Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, and New Jersey. We assess your home’s complete electrical load, size battery capacity around your full panel draw, and configure automatic transfer systems that engage in milliseconds — delivering genuine, total-home power protection that performs without any input from you.
Larger homes with multiple HVAC zones, electric water heaters, and high ambient loads require oversized battery capacity to maintain whole-home coverage through extended outages. BiG Energy sizes whole home backup power systems specifically around your verified panel load data — not generic estimates.
Properties running heat pumps, electric furnaces, or electric baseboard heating face their greatest outage risk in winter. A whole house battery backup system sized for your heating load keeps your home warm and functional through the Northeast's most dangerous storm outages.
Rural homes relying on electric well pumps for water supply need backup systems capable of handling motor startup currents and sustained pump draw. Our whole home battery system configurations account for well pump loads within the full-panel backup specification.
Households with family members dependent on electrically powered medical devices — oxygen concentrators, CPAP machines, infusion pumps — require uninterrupted power across all circuits, not just selected ones. Total-home backup eliminates the risk of accidentally losing power to any critical device.
Custom homes with complex electrical configurations, smart home systems, EV chargers, and distributed HVAC equipment require detailed load analysis before selecting backup hardware. BiG Energy engineers whole house backup power systems that account for every load in your specific property.
Combining whole-home battery backup with a rooftop solar array creates a self-sustaining residential energy platform. During extended outages, your solar panels continuously recharge your battery — providing indefinite backup capability as long as sunlight is available.
