Optimize Your Home's Energy Usage with Savant's Smart Budget System

As homeowners increasingly adopt electric vehicles (EVs), smart appliances, and renewable energy sources, managing household energy consumption becomes more complex. Traditional electrical panels often struggle to accommodate the growing demand, leading to potential overloads and costly service upgrades. Savant's Smart Budget system offers an innovative solution, enabling intelligent energy management without the need for expensive electrical overhauls.​

What is Savant's Smart Budget System?

Savant's Smart Budget is a feature within the Savant Power System designed to optimize energy usage by integrating with existing electrical panels. It allows homeowners to monitor and control their home's power consumption in real-time, ensuring efficient distribution of electricity to various appliances and systems. ​

Example: ​With Smart Budget, you can schedule your EV charger to operate during off-peak hours, reducing strain on your electrical system and taking advantage of lower energy rates.

Key Features and Benefits

• Real-Time Monitoring: The system provides live data on energy consumption, allowing homeowners to identify high-usage appliances and adjust their habits accordingly. ​

• Automated Load Management: Smart Budget can automatically prioritize and control circuits, preventing overloads by temporarily shedding non-essential loads when necessary. ​

• Cost Savings: By optimizing energy distribution, homeowners can avoid expensive electrical service upgrades, which can cost tens of thousands of dollars. The Smart Budget system starts at $1,500 and requires professional installation, making it a cost-effective alternative. 

• Compatibility: The system is designed to work with most major electrical panels, ensuring ease of installation and scalability. 

Example: ​If you're running high-powered appliances during the day, Smart Budget can be set to charge your EV overnight, balancing the load and preventing potential overloads.​

Enhancing Sustainability and Resilience

In addition to managing energy loads, Savant's Smart Budget system contributes to a more sustainable and resilient home by:​

• Integrating Renewable Energy Sources: The system can coordinate power from solar panels, battery storage, and backup generators, reducing reliance on the grid and promoting the use of renewable energy. ​

• Preparing for Power Outages: With features like Storm Watch and Power Outage modes, the system reserves battery storage and ensures critical circuits remain powered during grid disruptions. ​

Example: ​During a power outage, Smart Budget can prioritize essential circuits like refrigeration and lighting, maintaining functionality until grid power is restored.

Savant's Smart Budget system offers a practical and intelligent approach to managing your home's energy consumption. By providing real-time monitoring, automated load management, and seamless integration with existing electrical panels, it empowers homeowners to optimize energy usage, reduce costs, and enhance sustainability. As our reliance on electricity continues to grow, solutions like Smart Budget are essential for creating efficient and resilient homes.​
