Kingwood, TX
Home battery backup for the Livable Forest
Kingwood's heavy tree canopy is the reason most homeowners moved here, and it is also why even moderate thunderstorms can drop branches across CenterPoint distribution lines. Eos installs automatic battery systems that ride out tree-related outages without any action from you.
Why Kingwood is a battery-first community
Kingwood is one of the most densely tree-canopied master-planned communities in the Houston metro. The trees define the neighborhood character, but they also sit directly above the overhead CenterPoint distribution lines that feed the area. Even a typical summer thunderstorm can take a branch down across a feeder and leave several blocks dark for hours.
Major weather events compound the problem. Hurricane Beryl in July 2024 left Kingwood addresses without power for 4 to 8 days as crews worked through the queue. Hurricane Harvey in 2017 flooded large parts of 77339 and 77345 along the West Fork of the San Jacinto, complicating restoration.
A home battery sidesteps the entire restoration timeline. The moment the grid trips, your home isolates and runs on battery, including the AC, the fridge, the Wi-Fi, and any medical devices. CenterPoint can take as long as it needs to find the bad pole.
How the system works
Switches in milliseconds
When the grid drops, the battery takes over in under 20 milliseconds. Your AC keeps running through the transition.
Sized for AC load
Most Kingwood homes need at least 23 kW of continuous output for a single 4-ton AC plus essentials. We size each install to your specific home.

We file with the City of Houston, coordinate inspector access, and submit the CenterPoint interconnection notification on your behalf.

Common questions from Kingwood homeowners
Why do Kingwood neighborhoods lose power so often?
Kingwood is marketed as the Livable Forest, and the heavy tree canopy that makes it attractive also makes its CenterPoint feeders highly tree-vulnerable. Even moderate thunderstorms can drop branches across distribution lines and trigger localized outages. Major events like Hurricane Beryl in 2024 caused multi-day outages across Forest Cove, Kings River Estates, and Trailwood.
Can a battery handle the AC load on a typical Kingwood home?
Yes. Most Kingwood homes have either single 4-ton or dual-zone AC. Our 11.5 kW Sigenergy controllers handle a single 4-ton compressor startup; the 23 kW dual-controller systems handle two compressor startups simultaneously. Kingwood homes commonly land in the Pro or Premium tier for full-home backup.
Did Hurricane Harvey flooding affect Kingwood battery installations?
Yes. The 2017 Harvey flooding hit parts of Kingwood near the West Fork of the San Jacinto River and along Lake Houston, particularly in 77339 and 77345. For homes in flood-prone zones, we place batteries above finished floor elevation per FEMA guidance. The smart panel and controller can be wall-mounted in elevated garage or interior space.
Kingwood is part of Houston, so does the City of Houston issue the permit?
Yes. Kingwood was annexed by the City of Houston in 1996, so residential electrical permits go through the City of Houston Department of Public Works at 611 Walker Street. Our team handles the submission, the inspector coordination, and the CenterPoint interconnection notification.
