The Electrical Industry

The electrical industry is evolving at an unprecedented pace, with innovative technology, automation and energy-efficient solutions reshaping how homes and businesses operate now and in the future.

Benefits of New Energy Technologies

From AI-driven smart panels to wireless power solutions, modern electrical innovations are designed to:

  • Enhance energy efficiency and lower electricity costs.
  • Improve safety, security and reliability with cutting-edge monitoring systems.
  • Integrate seamlessly with smart home and business automation.
  • AI-powered load management systems optimize power distribution, prioritizing essential circuits during outages and potentially reducing energy waste by up to 15% annually, according to Natural Resources Canada.
  • Smart lighting systems, including LED lights and dimmer switches, allow for remote control, dimming, colour adjustment, and automated scheduling, enhancing both ambiance and energy efficiency.
  • Smart outlets can turn any appliance into a smart device, enabling remote control and energy monitoring, with some models even including USB ports.
  • Rooftop solar panels provide a clean, cost-effective way to generate electricity. They can power your entire home or business, or specific appliances, depending on your setup. During the day, solar panels produce electricity that you can use right away — reducing your reliance on the grid. Any extra energy can be stored in a battery for use at night or during times of high demand.
  • Energy storage systems, such as batteries, can store excess solar energy for later use, further enhancing energy independence and reducing reliance on the grid and fluctuating electricity rates. View Load Displacement.
  • Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Systems also known as cogeneration, simultaneously produce electricity and useful heat from the same energy source, such as natural gas, biomass, coal, or oil. The electricity generated can be used for load displacement.
  • Smart thermostats and voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Home can be integrated to create a comprehensive smart home system for managing various aspects of home comfort and security.
  • Smart energy monitors, like PowerTag, provide real-time data on energy consumption, allowing homeowners to identify areas of high usage and make informed decisions about energy conservation.
  • Electric vehicle charging stations offer convenient at-home charging for electric vehicle owners.
