Battery backup for Houston homes and businesses
CenterPoint outages hit Houston harder than almost any metro in the country. Eos Backup and Battery installs automatic battery systems for homes and businesses that keep your power on, silently and without any action from you.
Houston has a power outage problem
Houston homeowners experience more power outages per year than nearly any major city in the United States. CenterPoint Energy, which serves most of the Houston metro, has faced repeated scrutiny over aging infrastructure and slow restoration times.
Hurricane Beryl in July 2024 left over two million CenterPoint customers without power for days. The February 2021 winter storm knocked out power for a week or more across large swaths of the city. Summer heat events routinely push the ERCOT grid to emergency conditions, triggering planned and unplanned outages.
These are not rare events. For Houston homeowners and business operators alike, outages are a recurring reality that a battery system addresses permanently. Restaurants lose perishable inventory, medical offices reschedule patients, and offices send staff home, all while the grid catches up.
Automatic protection, no action required
When the grid goes down, your Eos battery system detects the outage within milliseconds and switches to battery power automatically. There is no switch to flip, no generator to start, no fuel to store. Your lights, refrigerator, Wi-Fi, and AC keep running.
No generator noise
Battery systems run silently. No engine noise, no exhaust, no HOA complaints.
Works in any weather
Hurricanes, heat waves, winter freezes. The system performs regardless of conditions outside.
Remote monitoring
Track your battery status and power usage from your phone. Our team monitors system health remotely.
We install across the Houston metro
Our team serves all Houston neighborhoods and surrounding communities, with scheduling typically available within two weeks.
Battery backup for Houston businesses
Houston is the fourth-largest city in the United States and one of its largest commercial markets. Energy Corridor offices, downtown skyscrapers, hospitals and clinics around the Texas Medical Center, restaurants across the inner loop, and tenant spaces in mid-rise buildings all share the same CenterPoint feeders that fail during major weather events.
Offices and data closets
Keep servers, network gear, payment systems, and HVAC online so staff can keep working when the grid blinks. Silent, automatic switchover within milliseconds.
Healthcare and clinics
Protect imaging equipment, sterilizers, refrigerated medications, and electronic health records during grid disturbances. No noisy generator outside the lobby.
Retail and restaurants
Keep refrigeration, point of sale, and lighting running through outages so you do not lose perishable inventory or have to close mid-shift.
Houston zip codes we install in
Houston spans hundreds of zip codes across several counties. Here are the ones our team installs in most often, with a note on the neighborhoods and grid conditions we see.
77002
Downtown and EaDo. Loft buildings and mid-rises, typically requiring HOA and property management coordination before a panel tap.
77007
The Heights and Rice Military. Older bungalows often on 100A panels; many installs require a panel upgrade to 200A before the battery.
77019
River Oaks and Upper Kirby. Larger homes with 3 to 5 ton AC loads. Whole-home backup usually requires a 45 kWh configuration.
77024
Memorial. Large lots, mature trees, frequent storm-driven outages. Primary battery buyers in the inner loop.
77056
Galleria and Uptown. Mix of mid-century homes and newer builds; installation access depends on garage layout.
77077
Energy Corridor. Post-Beryl demand is elevated. Many homes have existing solar that we retrofit with storage.
77005
West University and Rice Village. Tight lots require compact placement; Sigenergy fits garage walls without a dedicated closet.
77035
Meyerland. Flood-prone area; batteries placed above finished floor elevation (FFE) per FEMA guidance.

Common questions from Houston homes and businesses
Do you serve all Houston neighborhoods, including inside the loop?
Yes. We install throughout the Houston metro, including inner-loop neighborhoods like Montrose, The Heights, River Oaks, and Meyerland, as well as the outer suburbs. Houston is one of the largest single-family home markets in the country, and our team schedules installations across the entire CenterPoint service territory.
How long does CenterPoint permitting take for a battery installation in Houston?
For most Houston-area installations, the permit process involves both the City of Houston (or Harris County for unincorporated areas) and a CenterPoint interconnection notification. Combined, this typically takes two to four weeks. Our team manages all of this on your behalf, including submitting the paperwork and following up with the respective offices.
Can a battery system run my Houston home during a multi-day summer outage?
It depends on the system size and your load management. A 9 kWh Essential system covers lights, refrigerator, Wi-Fi, and medical devices for up to six hours. A 45 kWh Ultimate system extends that to 30 hours on essentials. For Houston summer conditions where outages can last multiple days, we typically recommend sizing for comfort mode and using the smart panel to prioritize which circuits run during a long event.
Is a home battery worth it in Houston specifically?
Houston homeowners experience more outage hours per year than almost any major metro in the country. CenterPoint has faced repeated criticism for slow restoration times. For homeowners with refrigerated medications, medical devices, home offices, or children, the value of automatic backup power is straightforward. The monthly financing cost is often less than one dinner out.
Do you install battery systems for businesses in Houston?
Yes. We install commercial battery storage across the Houston metro for offices in Energy Corridor and downtown, healthcare facilities and clinics around the Texas Medical Center, restaurants and retail throughout the inner loop, and server rooms or data closets in mid-rise buildings. Commercial systems are sized to the building load profile and quoted per project. See our commercial solutions page for details on monitoring, peak shaving, and continuity engineering.
Residential pricing and financing in Houston
Home systems range from $9,915 to $23,030 installed, depending on capacity. In-house financing is available from $87.45/month with no impact to your credit score to check eligibility.
