Backup Power Considerations in Bullhead City
Outages and the Local Grid
In September 2022, a windstorm with gusts near 60 mph knocked down about 50 power poles in Bullhead City. Mohave Electric Cooperative put the number without power at about 36,000, and most of the city's roughly 40,000 residents lost service.
Utilities
Mohave Electric Cooperative serves most of Bullhead City. UniSource Energy Services also serves a few areas, and the city's electrical permit forms cover both utilities. Your electric bill shows which one serves your home.
Climate and System Design
Highs reach 100 degrees on about 135 days a year, so size a backup system for air conditioning, not just lights and the refrigerator. Ask installers how the battery and inverter will stay cool, such as a shaded, ventilated spot out of direct sun, since high heat can limit battery output. Winters are mild, with January lows near 45 degrees, so cold is not the design issue.
Permits and Inspections
Inside Bullhead City limits, the city's Building Division handles permits for building and electrical work. It publishes handouts for emergency standby generators without storage batteries, solar PV systems and electrical load calculations, plus forms for replacing a main service on Mohave Electric or UniSource power. For a battery system, ask your installer how it will be permitted and inspected. Homes in nearby unincorporated areas such as Fort Mohave and Mohave Valley go through Mohave County instead.
Nearby Areas
Questions to Ask Before You Hire a Home Backup Installer
- Are you licensed for this work in Arizona? Ask for the license number and check it with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC).
- Will you pull the permits and schedule the inspections? Permitted work protects your insurance and resale value.
- Have you installed this type of system before? Ask about battery, generator or transfer-switch projects like yours, and which brands.
- Will you install equipment I buy myself? Many installers will. Some only install what they sell. Ask before you buy.
- What's included in the quote? Look for the equipment, panel work, transfer switch, permits, utility paperwork and haul-away.
- What warranty do you provide on your workmanship? It's separate from the manufacturer's equipment warranty.
- How will the system switch over in an outage? Automatic or manual, and which circuits will be backed up.
- Who services the system after installation? Ask who handles maintenance, repairs and warranty claims, and how quickly they respond.

Can a home battery run my air conditioner?
Many whole-home systems can run central AC if the battery and inverter are sized for its starting and running load. Your installer should confirm the AC unit's requirements during the site visit.
Can I buy my own equipment and hire a local installer?
Often, yes. Many installers will install customer-supplied equipment, but policies vary. Each listing in this directory shows whether the installer says they do. Confirm with the installer before you buy, and share the exact model so they can plan the installation.
Does Outbound Power install equipment?
