FAQ: Smart Questions With Quick Answers
Still unsure about smart panels? Brda’s got your back.
What is a smart electrical panel, and how does it work?-+
Smart panels are an internet-enabled replacement to traditional breaker panels, offering built-in monitoring and energy management features that connect to an app. Smart panels balance power loads in real time, prioritizing energy based on your use and keeping each circuit within safety limits. Users can customize how and when their smart panel prioritizes power.
How does load balancing help prevent tripped breakers or outages?-+
Load balancing spreads power demand across circuits and limits the maximum power output. When a peak is detected, smart panels can temporarily shut off lower-priority loads instead of letting a breaker overload and trip.
Can a smart panel help me manage energy use or reduce utility bills?-+
Yes, especially if you use the data and control it provides. Studies of smart load management suggest that automated controls can cut energy waste, utility costs, and grid strain.
Do I need to replace my entire panel to install a smart system?-+
In many homes, the smart system replaces the main panel, allowing every circuit to be monitored and controlled in one place. Some homes may also use add-on smart load controllers for specific circuits, but those offer limited functionality. Brda Electric can inspect your system and recommend equipment to match your needs.
Are smart panels compatible with solar, generators, or EV chargers?-+
Many smart panels are designed to work with solar inverters, home batteries, automated backup systems, or EV chargers. Integration compatibility varies based on the model. Brda Electric can help you weigh your options.
How long does installation take, and will my power be shut off?-+
Most smart panel installations are completed in about a day, but more complex projects can take longer. The permitting process also adds waiting time. Your power will be shut off for part of the installation, but we’ll plan around your schedule to minimize any inconvenience.
Upgrade to a Smarter, Safer Panel
Smart panels are the backbone of modern home energy technology. Especially if you’re already planning your next upgrade, repair, or renovation, now is the perfect time to switch.
