Create a Greener Home with Today’s Home Energy Solutions

New England is prone to days-long electric outages, and Westport, CT, has not been immune. These outages are usually due to fierce storms and the resulting downed trees affecting power lines.

There are, however, other concerns, including having enough electricity to go around during the most extreme weather events, whether hot summer months or frigid winters. ISO New England, which oversees the entire grid, reported to Fox61 that extreme weather days will be a concern until more renewable energy sources are developed. 

The result may be similar to what people in Texas and California have experienced: planned rolling blackouts to keep the grid from failing.

Fortunately, there is a way to keep your home operating during our current energy crisis. Home energy solutions help you better manage your power through energy dashboards, storage and automation. 

Let's explore a few of the benefits and features of advanced home energy management solutions.

True Freedom from the Grid 

Savant Power brings a new approach to home energy management, offering personalized energy dashboards, smart power modules, and scalable renewable energy storage solutions. 

With Savant, you can monitor live consumption, battery and generator status, power flow throughout the home, and receive immediate alerts during outages or low battery levels. The user-friendly app allows you to control all your home's loads, view historical energy use, and even remotely shut off devices as needed.

The system's Eco Mode promotes efficient and cost-effective uses of energy sources, dipping into alternate power sources during peak cost hours to reduce monthly energy costs. You can also create custom Energy Scenes that prioritize specific loads based on unique circumstances or needs, ensuring that critical appliances and systems receive power during an outage.

Embrace Your Energy Goals 

Savant Power's energy dashboards are tailored to your needs, allowing you to view general energy status updates or in-depth usage metrics. You can track top consumers, summarize trends to the circuit level, and compare usage trends with overall production trends. This information helps you isolate issues and adjust your usage over time, becoming more efficient and avoiding extensive downtime in case of emergency. 

These home energy solutions also offer smart power modules that provide complete control over your electrical panel. These modules are electrician-friendly and designed to work with all major brands, providing flexibility during installation. With individual circuit control, choosing which devices get power is easy. 

A Better Approach to Renewable Energy

With Savant's scalable storage solutions, you can gain energy independence through solar panels and battery storage. These all-in-one solutions integrate seamlessly with grid power, allowing for comprehensive control and monitoring. You can even incorporate EV charging solutions that monitor consumption trends and schedule charges to avoid peak utility rates.

How to Resolve a Power Outage 

Our home energy solutions ensure that you never get left in the dark. During a power outage, the system activates an "Essentials" scene, eliminating power to non-essential loads. You can activate custom scenes like "Kitchen" or "Bedroom" to divert energy to specific areas as needed. Once the power in your area is back up, the system reverts to normal mode, and your generator or battery storage shuts down.
