Energy & EV charging
Whole-home energy monitoring, EV charger scheduling and load control that follow your utility's rates, such as Hydro-Québec winter peak events or Ontario time-of-use pricing, run from the controller in your house.

What we install
- Whole-home and per-circuit monitoring at the panel, with history you can read yourself
- EV charger scheduling: charge overnight, off peak, and be full by the time you leave
- Load control for the water heater, baseboards and the charger during peak events or on-peak hours
- Solar and battery integration where the equipment allows it
- Standby-power detection for the things that draw power all day
- Rules you can read and change, with no utility cloud deciding for you unless you opt in
How it stays local
Monitoring and load rules run on the controller. Peak-event schedules are fetched ahead of time, so the house sheds the loads you chose, in the order you chose, even if the connection drops during the event.
Good to know
Anything inside the electrical panel, including the monitoring clamps and the charger circuit, is installed by a licensed electrician. We design the system, choose the hardware and commission it; the panel work is done by a licensed master electrician.
What people ask before they book.
Who does the work inside the electrical panel?
A licensed electrician. Anything inside the electrical panel, including the monitoring clamps and the circuit for a charger, is panel work and is installed by one. We design the system, choose the hardware and commission it. What belongs to the electrician is identified and explained before anything is ordered.
Can the car charge off peak without me remembering the right hour?
Yes. The charger is scheduled on the controller: it charges overnight, off peak, and is full by the time you leave. You plug in when you get home and the house decides when the current flows. The schedule is one you can read and change yourself.
What does the house do during a winter peak event?
It sheds the loads you chose, in the order you chose. The water heater, the baseboards and the charger are the usual candidates. Peak-event schedules are fetched ahead of time, so the shedding still happens if the connection drops mid-event. It follows your utility's pricing, such as Hydro-Québec peak events or Ontario time-of-use hours.
Can I see which circuits are using the power?
Yes. Monitoring at the panel covers the whole house and individual circuits, with history you read yourself rather than a monthly summary from someone else. Standby-power detection picks out the things drawing power all day. Solar and a battery can be integrated where the equipment allows it.
