Future of Your Home's Breaker Box for Electrification

Between new regulatory requirements for all-electric homes, the desire to have at-home EV charging, and/or more efficient appliances, pressure is placed on builders to accommodate higher loads, resulting in 320/400A services for homes. These increased service sizes pose challenges not only to a per-house basis but also to the neighborhood and utility electrical infrastructure.
Learn how to avoid building larger and unnecessary electrical services (320/400A) in new home construction and production builder lots by using Smart Panels and Energy Management Software.
The future of your electric panel is here.
