As homes across North America, Central America, and the Caribbean transition to an increasingly electrified lifestyle, managing energy efficiently has never been more critical. ABB has introduced the ReliaHome™ Smart Panel with Panel Guard technology, a groundbreaking innovation designed to optimize home energy management seamlessly. This latest advancement not only makes all-electric homes more efficient but also eliminates the need for costly electrical panel upgrades.
Revolutionizing Home Energy Management
The ReliaHome™ Smart Panel was unveiled at the NAHB International Builders' Show® (IBS) in Las Vegas, the world's largest residential construction industry event. Recognized for its innovative approach to home electrification, the ReliaHome™ Smart Panel won the 9th annual LSC Spark Award, an accolade presented by the NAHB Leading Suppliers Council (LSC) to honor advancements in residential building technology.
With residential electricity consumption making up 44% of total U.S. energy use and projected to increase by up to 22% by 2050, the demand for intelligent, flexible energy solutions is on the rise. The ReliaHome™ Smart Panel provides circuit-level visibility and control, optimizing energy use while preventing overloads, making it an ideal solution for both new and existing home setups.
Smarter Load Management with Panel Guard Technology
One of the key features of the ReliaHome™ Smart Panel is Panel Guard technology, which ensures homes stay within their electrical capacity by dynamically managing energy loads. This eliminates the need for expensive service panel upgrades and allows homeowners to integrate high-demand appliances such as electric vehicle (EV) chargers, solar and storage systems, induction stoves, electric heat pumps, and water heaters without overloading their existing infrastructure.
For builders and contractors, the prewired, labeled design makes installation straightforward, ensuring quick commissioning and seamless integration with any manufacturer's load center. Whether it's a new single-family build or a renovation project, the ReliaHome™ Smart Panel delivers universal compatibility and efficiency.
A Smarter Approach to Home Energy Monitoring
The ReliaHome™ Smart Panel app offers homeowners a comprehensive view of their energy consumption, enabling them to monitor and control energy use remotely. With customizable settings, users can adjust their power consumption based on vacancies, peak hours, and load balancing needs. The app also provides real-time and historical data, helping homeowners make informed decisions to optimize energy efficiency and reduce costs.
Adam Mease, Business Line Leader, Energy Distribution NEMA at ABB, highlighted the impact of this innovation: “Recent studies estimate that 48 million homeowners may face costly panel upgrades to electrify their homes. The ReliaHome™ Smart Panel with Panel Guard technology offers a smarter alternative to these costly upgrades, enabling seamless integration of high-energy appliances while maintaining efficiency.”
