Electrical circuits in homes have been protected with thermal breakers for generations. Emerging technology now allows us to control the flow of electricity using interactive technologies – some of which you can use while you’re not even in the home!
We’ll help you determine if these technologies are right for you by discussing the following:
- What’s required by the electrical code?
- How do “traditional” breakers work?
- How do smart breakers work?
- How could you use load management in your home?
- What tools are available to monitor electrical loads?
- How meters + apps differ from smart breakers?
These products have broad application: from homes with limited service to homes producing power on site. Join us to walk through some of the tools and how they may benefit your household.
As always, we welcome your questions and comments. Click the Enroll Now button to reserve your virtual seat now!
