We fit a dedicated rotary isolator, install new protective devices and run heavy-duty cabling neatly back to your distribution board. ### Testing and control setup After briefly turning off the main power to finish the consumer unit connections, we complete electrical safety checks, energise the system and configure the monitoring controls so you can track storage levels. ## Frequently asked questions about battery storage ### Can I install battery storage if I do not have solar panels? Yes. Standalone battery units can be charged from the mains during cheap off-peak periods, such as overnight electric vehicle or heat pump tariffs. The stored power then runs your home during peak price hours, cutting daily electricity costs without requiring solar panels on the roof. ### Where is the best place to put the battery unit? Batteries are usually positioned in an attached garage, a ground-floor utility room or outside against a sturdy external wall. The location requires adequate ventilation, clearance from heat sources and a straightforward cable path back to your consumer unit. ### How long does a standard battery installation take to complete? Most domestic installations take between one and two days. The exact duration depends on the cable distance between the battery pack and your fuse board. Your household power is only switched off for a short period while making the final connections into the main board. ### Do I need permission from the electricity network before the work starts? Systems rated up to 3.68kW on a single phase typically operate under G98 rules, meaning we notify Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks within 28 days of commissioning. Larger systems require advance G99 approval from the network operator, which we organise on your behalf. ### Will a home battery keep running during a grid power cut? Standard grid-tied battery systems automatically disconnect during an outage to protect engineers working on external power lines. If you require backup electricity during power cuts, a dedicated emergency power supply switch and separate backup circuit must be specified during installation. ## Other services in Canford Heath - [Electrician in Canford Heath](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/electrician-canford-heath): Electrical repairs, inspections and planned installation work across Canford Heath East, Canford Heath West and BH17. - [Battery storage installation (all areas)](https://mx2-electrical-ltd.co.uk/services/battery-storage-installation): Home and commercial battery storage installation in Poole, Bournemouth and Dorset by MX2 Electrical.
