Home battery backup for Houston homeowners
CenterPoint outages hit Houston harder than almost any metro in the country. Eos Backup and Battery installs automatic home battery systems 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, outages are a recurring reality that a home battery addresses permanently.
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.

Common questions from Houston homeowners
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 eight hours. A 36 kWh Ultimate system extends that to 32 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.
Pricing and financing for Houston homeowners
