Managing Your Home’s Energy Effortlessly

Savant is a luxury home automation platform known for its customization and the ability to scale up for large luxury estates. In 2021, it came out with Savant Power and changed the face of smart home energy systems.

The Savant Power System is the ultimate smart energy management solution for your Chicago, IL, home. While several of these systems are on the market, Savant Power has given homeowners control at the circuit level and, as Savant does, created scenes that let homeowners direct their energy at the touch of a button. Let’s explore what this means and why it places Savant at the top of the pack.

Managing the Power Grid

Numerous systems, like Savant, offer solar power and battery storage. As the sun creates energy, it’s stored in batteries, enabling homeowners to use its power when it best suits them. Green energy becomes available 24/7, accessed with the tap of an icon on a smartphone app.

Controlling Your Home’s Energy Usage

Savant goes a step further by using sensors and controllers built into smart modules that are inserted into your home’s existing circuit breaker. Via the Savant app, you can see which circuits use the most energy, including how much each appliance uses, and turn them on and off from anywhere.

The app also shows you how much energy comes from batteries, the solar panels, and the grid. In essence, you take complete control of your home’s energy, selecting the power source, what circuits receive it, and when. Many homeowners switch to solar or battery power during peak energy usage when rates are typically higher.

Scenes and Modes

Another feature that sets Savant Power apart is their modes and scenes. These customized settings let you manage your home’s power quickly and effortlessly. With the press of a button, the energy goes where you want it to. For instance, the “Storm Watch” mode determines when a storm is approaching and ensures the system directs solar power to battery storage to keep them fully charged in case of a power outage.

“Power Outage” mode keeps the essentials, like your refrigerator, operating. You can also create scenes that cut off all the nonessential circuits during the summer months and optimize energy usage in the winter.

Charging Your Electric Vehicle

The Savant Power storage and the electrical panel with Savant Power Modules also integrate with a Savant Level 2 EV Charger. These systems work together, managing when you charge your vehicle and the power source. It provides rapid at-home charging, automatically powering down high-current devices when charging while avoiding peak utility rates.

Savant Power is the only smart home and energy solution managed by a single award-winning app. By integrating this solution into your smart home, you experience reduced dependency on the grid and seamless power management during an unplanned outage and every day of the year.
