Battery backup in Sandy, Utah.

A whole-home battery backup system in Sandy 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.

For most Sandy 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 Sandy 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.

Yes. Sandy 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.

We install Tesla Powerwall, EG4, Anker SOLIX, Ecoflow, Lion Energy, and Ruxiu in Sandy. Unlike a dealer who pushes one brand, we recommend the battery that actually fits your backup goals, load profile, and budget. Every Sandy install includes the transfer switch, electrical integration, commissioning, and permitting — a single priced project.

Sandy sees wind events rolling down Little Cottonwood Canyon, and the east-bench homes are on the outer distribution lines — longer outages than SLC proper. Customers with well pumps in the foothills and large electric-HVAC homes make up most of our Sandy work.
