Best Battery Backup Sump Pump

What You Get With Professional Installation

Your battery backup system includes proper sizing calculations based on your home’s specific requirements. We don’t guess – we measure your pump’s power draw and calculate runtime needs based on typical storm durations in the Hanover Park area.

The installation includes all necessary wiring, automatic switching components, and battery charging systems. We use marine-grade batteries designed for deep discharge cycles. These aren’t car batteries that fail after a few uses – they’re built for repeated backup duty.

You also get clear instructions for the simple annual maintenance. Most homeowners can handle battery replacement themselves, but we’re always available for service calls. We keep detailed records of your system specifications so replacement parts and service are straightforward.

A properly sized battery backup system typically runs 8-12 hours during a power outage, depending on how often the pump needs to cycle. We calculate battery capacity based on your pump’s power requirements and average rainfall patterns in the Hanover Park area. Heavy spring storms might require more frequent pumping, while light rain allows longer runtime. Most power outages in our area last 2-6 hours, so a well-designed system provides plenty of protection. We always size batteries with extra capacity to handle extended outages or unusually heavy rainfall.
Your battery backup system will continue running as long as the battery has power, but it’s not designed to replace a failed primary pump long-term. The backup provides emergency protection while you arrange for primary pump repair or replacement. If your primary pump fails during business hours, we can usually respond the same day. During after-hours emergencies, the backup system buys you time until we can get there. We recommend annual maintenance on both primary and backup systems to prevent unexpected failures during storm season.
Most sump pump backup batteries need replacement every 3-5 years, depending on usage and maintenance. We use deep-cycle marine batteries that handle repeated discharge cycles better than standard batteries. The charging system maintains the battery automatically, but extreme temperatures in unheated basements can shorten battery life. We recommend annual testing before storm season to check battery capacity. Signs that replacement is needed include shorter runtime during tests or the charging system indicating low capacity. We keep your system specifications on file to ensure you get the correct replacement battery.
Most existing sump pumps can accommodate a battery backup system, but compatibility depends on your pump’s power requirements and electrical setup. We evaluate your current system to determine the best backup configuration. Some older pumps draw too much power for standard battery systems, requiring pump upgrades for effective backup protection. The electrical connection needs proper switching components to seamlessly transfer between AC and DC power. We handle all the technical requirements during installation, ensuring your backup system integrates properly with your existing setup.
Battery backup systems need minimal maintenance – mainly annual battery testing and replacement every 3-5 years. We recommend testing the system before each storm season by disconnecting power to your primary pump and verifying the backup activates properly. Keep battery terminals clean and check that the charging system shows proper voltage. The backup pump itself requires the same maintenance as your primary pump – periodic cleaning and inspection. We provide detailed maintenance instructions and can handle annual service if you prefer professional maintenance.
Battery backup system costs vary based on your pump’s power requirements, battery capacity needed, and installation complexity. Basic systems for standard sump pumps typically start around $800-1200 installed, while high-capacity systems for larger pumps cost more. The investment usually pays for itself by preventing even one basement flooding incident. We provide upfront pricing after evaluating your specific setup – no surprises or hidden fees. Consider the cost compared to water damage repair, which often runs thousands of dollars plus the hassle of cleanup and insurance claims.
