Which system fits a Bedford home?
We install all three, so we can recommend the one that suits the house and the budget.
RoseWater Energy
A RoseWater HUB suits the larger Bedford houses with a home office and a full network, carrying them through the April 2024 kind of outage with zero transfer time.
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.
Standby generator
A standby generator covers a multi-day New Hampshire outage like October 2017, on its own or recharging a battery system.
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 Bedford
Bedford houses usually have a basement or a garage where a Savant Power Storage cabinet or a RoseWater HUB fits. In an unheated garage, check the operating temperature range first. The Savant PS20 is rated from 32 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit.
A generator pad goes in the side or rear yard, clear of windows, doors and vents, with room for the gas line or the propane tank.
Permits in Bedford
We have not found a Bedford permit page for generators or home batteries. In New Hampshire the electrical work is done by a New Hampshire licensed electrician and the gas work by a licensed gas fitter, who pull the permits.

Can a battery cabinet go in an unheated New Hampshire garage?
It depends on the product. The Savant Power Storage 20 is rated for 32 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit, so a garage that drops below freezing is not the right spot for it. A basement or a heated space is the safer choice.
