Tips From The Top

Home energy management is on the minds of many of our clients. It’s on our minds, too.

After all, we rely more than ever on power to run the systems that make our homes comfortable, safe, and secure. We invest in top quality systems for our homes, but those systems can’t run effectively without a stable, dependable power system. That can be a huge concern and a real obstacle considering grid instability and uncertain – and rising – electricity costs.

A home battery backup system can make all the difference. While many people think they have to have solar power to supply a battery backup, the fact is that today, a home battery backup system can be used effectively with either solar or grid power. It can store power generated by solar systems or from the main traditional grid, or both. With it, our clients can ensure their homes run efficiently in the face of a power outage. They can also avoid peak power costs; higher end backup systems that we install for our clients can switch to battery energy during peak grid pricing, lowering the cost of the energy used. The awesome thing is that this change from the main power grid to backup power happens almost instantly.

That goes a long way to give our clients peace of mind about their home’s continuity of service.

Our premium home automation platform Savant excels at power management. Their battery backup smart energy storage system makes the most of available energy by coordinating the multiple sources – grid, battery backup, and solar when present – to keep everything running with the most efficient sources. This includes charging electric vehicles. Savant’s energy monitoring system gives our clients specifics on how much energy is being used in various parts of their homes and for what purposes, providing important insights for better home management and energy consumption. The Savant Power System is efficient and compact with the Savant Power Modules, Savant’s Hybrid Inverter, Savant Storage, and Savant’s Level 2 EV Charger. With the Savant app, our clients can monitor usage trends and production and make changes to the solar, battery, and generator backup sources.

What does a home battery backup system do best? It gives our clients peace of mind and a smart home running at optimal energy use – under all conditions.
