Learn moreWhy Orem homes are going backup-first
Orem's housing stock spans 1960s ranchers to newer UVU-area builds. The mix of older 100-amp panels and newer 200-amp service means every backup install starts with an honest panel assessment. UVU faculty, Geneva Road businesses, and the east-bench neighborhoods are frequent stops.
BYOP Electric designs battery and generator systems around the actual loads in your house, not a brochure’s “typical home.” We walk the property, read your bill, look at your panel, and ask what you actually want running when the grid is out. The result is a system that covers what matters and nothing you don’t need to pay for.
For homes with existing solar — especially the 10kW+ systems installed over the last five years — we retrofit batteries that finally make those panels useful during an outage. Most grid-tied solar shuts off when the grid fails; a properly integrated battery keeps it running.
Whether you’re in a new-build on the east side or a legacy home downtown, BYOP gives you the same straight pricing and direct communication. You talk to the licensed electrician who does the install — not a sales rep, not a call center, not a dealer network.

Orem Backup Power FAQ
How much does a home battery backup cost in Orem, Utah?
A whole-home battery backup system in Orem typically runs $14,000 to $28,000 installed, depending on capacity and whether you need critical-loads only or full-home coverage. BYOP pairs the battery with a transfer switch and sizes the system to your actual outage needs — not a sales pitch. Rocky Mountain Power's Wattsmart Battery Program pays $2,000 per battery, applied directly to the install cost.
Battery or generator — which makes more sense for a Orem home?
For most Orem homes, a battery wins on quiet operation, zero fuel, and daily bill reduction. A standby generator wins on long-duration outages and heavy loads like a well pump or HVAC. Many of our Orem clients end up with both — a battery for the first 8 to 24 hours, a generator for anything longer. BYOP designs the system around your outage history and load profile, not a one-size-fits-all package.
Do I need a permit for a battery or generator install in Orem?
Yes. Orem requires electrical permits for battery storage, standby generators, and transfer switches. BYOP pulls every permit and schedules every inspection as part of the install — you never have to visit city hall. Permit costs are included in the quote, never surprise-billed.
What battery brands does BYOP install in Orem?
We install Tesla Powerwall, EG4, Anker SOLIX, Ecoflow, Lion Energy, and Ruxiu in Orem. Unlike a dealer who pushes one brand, we recommend the battery that actually fits your backup goals, load profile, and budget. Every Orem install includes the transfer switch, electrical integration, commissioning, and permitting — a single priced project.
Does Orem get enough power outages to justify backup?
Orem's grid is generally stable, but the occasional wind event off the Lake or ice storm from the Provo Canyon corridor will take blocks dark for hours. Homeowners with medical equipment, well pumps on older properties, or home offices are the most common backup customers. A free site visit tells you whether your specific address justifies the system — and how big to size it.
