Backup Power in
Whole-home battery backup and standby generators for Moultonborough, from the Neck and Long Island to Moultonborough Bay and Squam Lake.
Build Your Power PlanMore than half of Moultonborough's houses are seasonal, a higher share than any of its neighbors, according to the town's own master plan. The census estimate today is about 2,564 of 4,975. That makes it a town of houses that have to look after themselves through the winter.
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 Moultonborough
In the April 4, 2024 nor'easter, the Co-op reported more than 4,200 customers without power in Moultonborough, the largest single-town figure in Patch's roundup that day.
Heavy snow on January 9, 2019 put Moultonborough among the three towns with the Co-op's largest remaining outages. In the October 2017 windstorm, the Co-op lost power to 52,300 members, more than the 49,000 it lost in the 2008 ice storm.
Who supplies the power
The New Hampshire Electric Cooperative serves Moultonborough without the limited-area restriction it has in neighboring towns, and Eversource does not list the town. A solar and battery interconnection goes to the Co-op.
Which system fits a Moultonborough home?
We install all three, so we can recommend the one that suits the house and the budget.
Savant Power
For a smaller seasonal house, Savant Power keeps the heat, freeze protection and network on from Savant Power Storage, and the Savant app shows you which circuits are running from home.
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.
Standby generator
A propane standby generator is the long-outage answer here. Paired with a battery, it means the house never sees the gap before it starts.
A Generac or Kohler standby generator on natural gas or propane that starts on its own when the power goes out. Most installs run $7,500 to $20,000.
Where the equipment goes in Moultonborough
Moultonborough Bay is an eight-mile arm of Winnipesaukee, the Neck is a peninsula, and Long Island, the lake's largest, connects to the Neck by a bridge. Squam Lake touches the northwest corner. On every one of those shores, the first 250 feet from the water is protected shoreland.
A HUB or battery cabinet inside the house avoids adding impervious area on the shoreland. A generator pad and propane tank are best placed farther back from the water where the lot allows.
Permits in Moultonborough
Moultonborough has no generator or battery permit page online that we found. Within 250 feet of the lakes, New Hampshire's shoreland law requires a state permit for construction or excavation, and local zoning approvals still apply alongside it.

Questions about backup power in Moultonborough
Our house on the Neck is closed from October to May. What should be on backup?
Our house on the Neck is closed from October to May. What should be on backup?
Heat and freeze protection first, then sump pumps, the well if you have one, security and the network so you can see the house. A battery covers short outages and a propane generator covers the long ones.
Is Long Island harder to serve?
Is Long Island harder to serve?
It connects to the Neck by a bridge, so equipment can be driven in. We plan deliveries and the propane tank location on the site visit.
What does a RoseWater system cost for a lake house?
What does a RoseWater system cost for a lake house?
RoseWater projects range from $125,000 to $1,000,000. Where a lake house lands depends on how much of it you protect, and a seasonal house that needs freeze protection and remote access protects fewer circuits than a full-time home.
