Battery Backup for
Leduc homes.
Leduc Battery Backup Installation
When the grid drops, the EP Cube takes over in under 20 milliseconds — automatically, even when your shift at YEG or in Nisku means nobody's home to start a generator. Installed by our in-house Red Seal Master Electrician, with the City of Leduc permit and inspection included. Sized for the west-end two-storeys and the Leduc County acreages alike.
What battery backup costs in Leduc.
An installed EP Cube battery backup in Leduc 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 Leduc permit and inspection. Feeding roughly 10 kWh of critical loads per day, that translates to 24 to 48 hours of runtime — with switchover happening automatically in under 20 milliseconds.
Every EP Cube size, priced all-in for Leduc.
Same fixed pricing in Leduc as everywhere we install — nothing added for the QEII. 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 Leduc electrical permit and inspection. No trip charge, no hidden line items.
| EP Cube 1.0 size | Typical fit in Leduc | Runtime @ ~10 kWh/day critical loads | Installed price (all-in) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9.9 kWh | Essentials: fridge, freezer, furnace fan, lights, Wi-Fi | ~24 hours | $19,381 |
| 13.3 kWh | Essentials plus sump pump and extra margin | ~32 hours | $21,578 |
| 16.6 kWh | Newer two-storeys in Southfork, West Haven, Windrose | ~40 hours | $22,942 |
| 19.9 kWh | Whole-home priority loads, Leduc County acreages, 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 stacks in 3.3 kWh increments, whichever size you start with can grow later — up to 19.9 kWh per unit. Ask about the newer EP Cube 2.0, modular from 5–40 kWh and priced on consultation. And a straight answer for Leduc shoppers: Alberta has zero battery rebates in 2026, whatever anyone else claims.

What each size keeps running, and for how long.
Every size in the lineup delivers the same 7.6 kW of continuous output, so your fridge, freezer, furnace fan, lights, sump pump and Wi-Fi can all draw at once — the kWh number only decides endurance.
| Load scenario | 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 line assumes fridge, freezer, furnace fan, lights, sump pump, Wi-Fi and phone charging all drawing at once; real-world runtime shifts with usage. Add rooftop solar and the battery tops itself up daily — turning fixed runtime into effectively open-ended outage coverage.
Why Leduc homes are adding battery backup.
Alberta's grid has already rehearsed the argument. The evening of January 13, 2024 brought an AESO grid alert, and at 6:44 p.m. an emergency alert buzzed every phone in the province asking Albertans to cut usage immediately. April 5, 2024 went a step further — real rotating outages, roughly 244 MW of firm load shed between 8:53 and 9:16 a.m. Day to day, FortisAlberta customers — Leduc's wires utility — average under 1.3 hours of outage a year in town, while Leduc County acreages on rural feeders typically wait longer for restoration than the city core. Short and rare, but always unannounced — and in a town that works airport and Nisku shifts, often when nobody's home.
Nobody home to hit a switch
YEG and Nisku rotations don't pause for outages. A generator only helps if someone is there to start it; the EP Cube switches over in under 20 milliseconds on its own, keeps the furnace fan, fridge, freezer and sump pump running, and notifies your phone — whether you're mid-shift or asleep.
City of Leduc permit
Battery permits in Leduc go through the City of Leduc, not the City of Edmonton. Our in-house Red Seal Master Electrician pulls the permit and the inspection is coordinated for you — both included in the installed price. Battery-only installs don't need a FortisAlberta meter swap.
Alberta math, told straight
With no residential time-of-use rates in Alberta, rate arbitrage is off the table — what a Leduc battery buys is resilience plus better use of your own solar. On its own it won't cut your bill, and we'll say so plainly. What it does is keep the furnace fan, sump pump and fridge going when the grid goes down.
“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 job run by the Stellar Upgrades crew under our Red Seal Master Electrician — 550+ installs on the books since 2018.
Four steps. Typically 4–6 weeks.
Free assessment
We look over your panel and the garage wall where the unit will hang, sort out together which circuits matter most, size the right EP Cube for those loads, and lock in your exact all-in price. No obligation, and we schedule around shift rotations.
Engineering & permit
Our team prepares the drawings and our in-house Red Seal Master Electrician pulls the City of Leduc electrical permit — Leduc's actual permit authority, not the City of Edmonton.
One-day install
The unit goes on the wall, gets wired into your panel, and the automatic switchover is configured — one day on site, start to finish. Battery-only projects also skip the FortisAlberta meter swap entirely.
Inspection & commissioning
City inspection, commissioning, and EP Cube app setup on your phone. From signed agreement to a commissioned battery normally takes 4–6 weeks.
Every Leduc permit carries a Red Seal Master Electrician's name.
Because a home battery ties into the main panel and reconfigures how the house takes power, the law requires its 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 the City of Leduc and everywhere else we work. Nothing gets farmed out — the same crew that prices your battery is the one that installs it. Batteries are wall-mounted in the attached garage in most Leduc 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.
On our payroll, in-house
Salaried, certified electricians working under our Master Electrician of record — never a subcontractor on any residential job.
