"After making some renovations to our finished basement, I was increasingly concerned with the fact that there was no back-up system for the sump pump. If the pump failed or we lost power, there was a very strong possibility that we would flood.

After assessing the situation with our sump pump, David recommended that we not only install the Pro Series 2200 battery back-up system, but to replace the existing sump pump because of it's age. After working in tight quarters in our mechanical closet for several hours, David was able to install a new sump pump and the battery back-up system with a new shelf for the system's control panel. I was very pleased with the quality of the workmanship and David's ability to complete this project in a timely manner.

A true test of the new battery back-up system came several days later when our neighborhood lost power. My son called to tell me that the power was out and that he could hear some kind of an alarm. In the past, I would have rushed home from my office at the Pentagon to try and save the basement from flooding. This was not necessary this time however with the new sump pump back-up system in place. In the months since, we have had several heavy rains when the system provided immense peace of mind. Even though we didn't lose power each time, we weren't worried if we had because of the back-up system that was installed. And that's a good feeling.

It's hard to put a price on peace of mind, but it's safe to say that my investment has already more than paid for itself.

I'm very pleased with what Heffner and Associates has done for us and would recommend this battery back-up system to anyone that has a basement."
