Battery Backup for
Beaumont families.
Beaumont Battery Backup Installation
Beaumont has been built around family life since the 1890s — and its newest neighbourhoods run on home offices, deep freezers and sump pumps. When the grid drops, the EP Cube takes over in under 20 milliseconds, silently and automatically, with no fuel. Installed by our in-house Red Seal Master Electrician, with the City of Beaumont permit and inspection included.
What battery backup costs in Beaumont.
An installed EP Cube battery backup in Beaumont costs $19,381 (9.9 kWh) to $24,723 (19.9 kWh) all-in — battery, hybrid inverter, Master Electrician install, engineering, and the City of Beaumont permit and inspection. Running roughly 10 kWh of critical loads per day, it carries a household for 24 to 48 hours — and the handoff from grid to battery happens automatically in under 20 milliseconds.
Every EP Cube size, priced all-in for Beaumont.
Beaumont gets the same fixed pricing as everywhere we install — no travel charge for a town fifteen minutes from our Edmonton shop. Every price below includes the EP Cube battery, its built-in hybrid inverter, installation by our Master Electrician–led crew, engineering, and the City of Beaumont electrical permit and inspection. No hidden line items.
| EP Cube 1.0 size | Typical fit in Beaumont | Runtime @ ~10 kWh/day critical loads | Installed price (all-in) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9.9 kWh | Essentials: fridge, freezer, furnace fan, lights, Wi-Fi, home office | ~24 hours | $19,381 |
| 13.3 kWh | Essentials plus the sump pump and deep freezer | ~32 hours | $21,578 |
| 16.6 kWh | Larger family homes in Dansereau Meadows and Montrose | ~40 hours | $22,942 |
| 19.9 kWh | Whole-home priority loads, Four Seasons two-storeys, solar pairing | ~48 hours | $24,723 |
Take $1,000 off any size when the battery is bundled with a new solar install (the bundle discount does not apply to battery-only retrofits). Because the EP Cube is built from 3.3 kWh modules, whichever size you start with can grow later — right up to 19.9 kWh. Ask us about the new EP Cube 2.0 (5–40 kWh modular), priced on consultation. And a straight answer for Beaumont: Alberta has no battery rebates in 2026, so treat any claim otherwise as guesswork. Full pricing breakdown →

What each size keeps running in a Beaumont home.
Every EP Cube size puts out the same 7.6 kW of continuous power, so the fridge, freezer, furnace fan, lights, sump pump and Wi-Fi can all stay on together. What capacity decides is how many hours that lasts.
| What's running | Draw | 9.9 kWh | 13.3 kWh | 16.6 kWh | 19.9 kWh |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fridge + freezer only | 150W | ~66 hrs | ~88 hrs | ~110 hrs | ~132 hrs |
| Furnace fan | 500W | ~20 hrs | ~26 hrs | ~33 hrs | ~40 hrs |
| Critical loads bundle* | ~10 kWh/day | ~24 hrs | ~32 hrs | ~40 hrs | ~48 hrs |
*The critical-loads bundle assumes a fridge, freezer, furnace fan, lights, sump pump, Wi-Fi and phone charging all drawing at once; real-world runtime depends on your usage. Add rooftop solar — or activate the rough-in your builder left — and daily recharging makes outage coverage effectively open-ended.
Why Beaumont families are adding battery backup.
Alberta's grid has already rehearsed the argument. The evening of January 13, 2024 made it concrete: with the AESO in a declared grid alert, a province-wide emergency alert reached every phone at 6:44 p.m., asking Albertans to cut usage immediately. Then April 5, 2024 brought the real thing — rotating outages that shed roughly 244 MW of firm load between 8:53 and 9:16 a.m. Day to day, FortisAlberta customers — Beaumont's wires utility — average under 1.3 hours of outage a year. Short and rare, but always unannounced — and in a town where the house is often also the office, the daycare and a freezer full of month-ahead meal prep, even a short one lands hard.
New builds, clean installs
Dansereau Meadows, Montrose and Four Seasons went up in the 200A era with attached garages — exactly what an EP Cube install wants. The battery wall-mounts steps from the panel with short, tidy wiring runs, and many builders even left solar rough-ins that make pairing panels later straightforward.
City of Beaumont permit
Battery permits in Beaumont go through the City of Beaumont — not Edmonton, not Leduc County. Our in-house Red Seal Master Electrician pulls the permit and the City inspection is coordinated for you, both included in the installed price, the same way we already run our Beaumont solar paperwork.
Straight math for Alberta
With no residential time-of-use rates in this province, rate arbitrage is off the table — what a battery buys you here is resilience plus better use of your own solar. So no, we won't claim a battery on its own lowers your bill; in Alberta it simply doesn't. It keeps the home office online, the sump pump pumping and the freezer frozen when the grid can't.
“Our solar was installed four years ago by a different company. When we asked them about adding battery backup, they said they couldn’t figure out the integration. Stellar got it done. The EP Cube ties into our existing solar and our Generac standby, and the system manages itself — solar by day, battery at night, generator as final backup. We don’t worry about outages anymore.”
Every project led by our Red Seal Master Electrician alongside the Stellar Upgrades crew — 550+ installs since 2018.
Four steps. Typically 4–6 weeks.
Free assessment
We inspect your panel and garage wall, walk through which circuits you want backed up — home office, sump pump, freezer — recommend the right EP Cube size, and confirm your exact all-in price. No obligation.
Engineering & permit
Our team prepares the drawings and our in-house Red Seal Master Electrician pulls the City of Beaumont electrical permit — the town's actual permit authority, not Edmonton or Leduc County.
One-day install
In a single working day the crew mounts the EP Cube, wires it into your panel and configures the automatic switchover. Going battery-only? Your FortisAlberta meter stays put — no swap needed.
Inspection & commissioning
City of Beaumont inspection, commissioning, and EP Cube app setup on your phone. From the day you sign to a commissioned battery is usually 4–6 weeks.
Your permit carries a Red Seal Master Electrician’s name.
Because a home battery ties into your main panel and changes how the whole house takes its power, the law requires the electrical permit to be pulled by a licensed electrical contractor. Stellar's in-house Red Seal Master Electrician is named on every permit we pull, in Beaumont and everywhere else we work. Nothing is subcontracted — the same crew that prices your battery is the one that shows up to install it. Batteries are wall-mounted in the attached garage in most Beaumont homes — the standard location under Alberta STANDATA Variance 21-ECV-064-900-ESS, with capacity capped at 20 kWh per unit and 40 kWh per dwelling by CEC Rule 64-918.
In-house, on payroll
Every certified electrician on your job works under our Master Electrician of record. No subcontractors on any residential install, ever.
