Looking to make the shift towards a more reliable home?
The future is about being resilient.
The Western home has always been at the forefront of energy efficiency, from the thick insulating walls of Southwestern adobes to the cooling shaded patios of California ranch houses. Today, in the evolving world of home energy management, the shift from analog to digital is radically transforming how we power our homes, with the all-electric house as the biggest paradigm shift we’ve ever seen. Homes equipped with solar power, tankless water heaters, heat pumps, automated smart home systems, and electric car chargers have set a high bar for affordability, sustainability, and ease. At the forefront of this revolution is Schneider Electric, which already helps manage the electricity in 40 percent of homes in the U.S. under their brand, Square D.

For homeowners looking to join this revolution, the company’s Schneider Home system provides the hardware, smart technology, and user-friendly simplicity that will match your lifestyle—whether you’re looking to convert your craftsman into an all-electric haven or are building from the ground up. Integration of Schneider Home will help make your home smarter, safer, more affordable to power, more energy-efficient, and resilient in response to a sometimes unreliable power grid. Here are five reasons to shift to the future with Schneider Home:
It’s Simple
Schneider Home consolidates control of your home’s energy resources with a single app, rather than the 4 to 6 apps you need today. It simplifies management and enhances efficiency. Whether optimizing solar usage, managing backup power, or integrating new appliances, Schneider Home puts everything at your fingertips in one simple app.
It’s Cost-Effective
Schneider Home can seamlessly manage time-of-use pricing and your batteries by automating energy savings and providing robust backup power. Schneider Home can accelerate the payback of going solar and investing in battery backup, in some areas by as much as 1 to 3 years faster. Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act and local utility and government rebates, the cost of going electric is drastically reduced, by thousands of dollars in many cases, making sustainable living both accessible and affordable.
It’s Energy-Efficient
The transition to a home powered by smart energy and Schneider Home not only enhances your living environment but can also help achieve greater sustainability and resilience. By optimizing energy use and reducing reliance on traditional power grids, homes equipped with Schneider Home can contribute to a reduction in overall carbon emissions, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change.
It Provides Peace of Mind
The resilience offered by improved backup power control ensures that your home remains operational even during outages, for longer than with some other battery systems, providing peace of mind in an era of increasing weather-related disruptions.
