Savant Power Helps Homeowners Control Their Energy Usage and Reduce Their Carbon Footprint

In 2020, hundreds of thousands of Californians experienced rotating power outages during the hottest days of summer. In the fall of 2021, Beverly Hills, CA, residents and others in the surrounding areas were asked to reduce power usage to avoid rolling blackouts across the state. In May 2022, California energy officials warned that the state could experience rolling blackouts for the next three summers. The combination of excessive heat due to climate change, tight energy supply margins, and an aging power grid has left the state and those that live here vulnerable.  

There is a way to take control of your energy supply. Smart energy utilizes solar panels and other energy sources to create energy and stores it in batteries, protecting homeowners from power outages, lowering their electric bills, and helping them contribute to a greener world.

Let’s explore how to set up your smart energy system.

Savant Power 

At Beyond Home Theater, we create luxurious smart homes throughout Los Angeles County. These homes depend on a steady flow of electricity to keep all systems running and interacting with each other. It’s not just about ensuring you can watch the big game, keep your food cold, and power your air conditioner during oppressive heat waves; it’s also about maintaining your security. To create the best in smart homes and the energy that controls them, we partner with Savant, the leader in luxury smart home automation. 

In 2021, they acquired their sister company, Racepoint Energy, and changed how homeowners create and manage their own micro power grid. Called Savant Power, it revolutionized energy production and management, reducing homeowners’ dependence on a fragile energy grid.

Creating Your Microgrid

Using solar panels and backup generator power, your home creates its own energy, which is then stored in an integrated battery system. Savant Power’s Smart Electrical Panel monitors and controls every electrical circuit in your home. Their Flexible Load Management makes optimizing your home’s energy usage possible, keeping the power on when the grid fails and proactively disconnecting when you want clean, reliable energy. 

The Savant App

You control your smart home and power from the award-winning Savant App. Check your home’s energy consumption, viewing by the load, circuit, or time of day, and make adjustments to control energy costs. Choose ECO Mode to reduce time-of-use rates or tap Storm Watch to quickly store energy in the event of an outage. Off Grid allows you to power your home through renewable and stored energy during high-peak-power periods. Our certified technicians can configure energy scenes that activate during energy events, whether storms or excessive heat waves. We’ll prioritize the sources of power and how they’re controlled. 

Smart energy offers you your own microgrid and creates an eco-friendly home that allows you to produce green energy, control energy consumption, and reduce your home’s carbon footprint.
