Backup Power in
Standby generators and home battery backup for North Conway, Conway Village, Intervale, Kearsarge and the rest of the Mount Washington Valley.
Get a Generator QuoteConway is a mountain town of seven villages along the Saco and Swift rivers, with the White Mountain National Forest to the west and north. North Conway is a year-round resort, and about 2,126 of the town's 7,151 housing units are seasonal.
Boston Backup Power is a division of Boston Automations in Norwood. We design and install RoseWater Energy systems, Savant Power and Generac and Kohler standby generators, and licensed electricians and gas fitters make the connections.

Storms and outages in North Conway
On the evening of January 31, 2022, a failure at the Perkins Corner substation on Eastman Road left parts of North Conway without power for nearly two hours, 459 Co-op customers and 150 Eversource customers, with the traffic signals out on White Mountain Highway.
Ice on January 23, 2018 left 1,200 Eversource customers in Conway without power. In late November 2018, yet another fall snowstorm brought trees down across roads in the valley and caused outages throughout the region, according to the Conway Daily Sun.
Who supplies the power
Conway is split between Eversource and the New Hampshire Electric Cooperative, which serves limited areas. Both serve parts of North Conway's commercial strip. Your bill shows which one is yours, and that is who reviews a solar and battery interconnection.
Which system fits a North Conway home?
We install all three, so we can recommend the one that suits the house and the budget.
RoseWater Energy
For a ski house with lighting control and a full network, a RoseWater HUB in a heated room carries everything with zero transfer time while a propane generator covers the long nights.
Whole-home battery backup with zero transfer time and power conditioning, for large homes where nothing can blink. Most projects run $125,000 to $1,000,000.
Savant Power
Savant Power adds battery backup in a heated room, and a hardwired generator can recharge Savant Power Storage, so a short substation failure like January 2022 never reaches the house.
Relay modules in your existing panel and Savant Power Storage batteries, so you choose which circuits get backup power and see your usage in the Savant app. Modules typically run $2,000 to $10,000, and battery backup $10,000 to more than $100,000.
Where the equipment goes in North Conway
Mountain winters shape where the equipment goes. A battery cabinet belongs in a heated space, since the Savant PS20 is rated down to 32 degrees Fahrenheit. A generator pad needs to stay clear of snow sliding off the roof and of drifts, with the manufacturer's clearance from windows and doors.
For a ski house or a second home that sits closed between visits, the system has to start, run and report on its own.
How to start
For a RoseWater system, start with the Power Plan. For Savant Power, use the Savant quote form. For a standby generator, use the generator quote form. If you are not sure which one fits, use the contact form or call (781) 333-8003 and we will talk it through. We reply within one business day.
Questions about backup power in North Conway
Will a generator start in a North Conway winter?
Will a generator start in a North Conway winter?
A standby generator runs a short exercise on its own schedule, so a problem shows up before you need it, and the manufacturer's app reports any fault. The bigger risk is snow and ice around the unit, so we place it away from roof slides and drifts.
We use the house for ski weekends. Can we watch it from home?
We use the house for ski weekends. Can we watch it from home?
Yes. A standby generator's app reports its status, and the Savant app shows your circuits and power use from anywhere.

Do you travel to the Mount Washington Valley?
Yes. The Lakes and White Mountains are part of our New Hampshire service area, and we coordinate New Hampshire licensed electricians and gas fitters for the work.
