Energy Management

More Than a Smart Meter

Savant Power replaces standard circuit breakers with intelligent ones.

Every circuit becomes individually monitored and individually controllable — the pool heater, the EV charger, the hot tub — visible and adjustable from anywhere. The foundation for solar, batteries, and a generator that all behave like one system.

Intelligent Smart Breakers

Every circuit individually monitored and controllable — visibility, automation, and orchestration on one platform.

Visibility

Per-Circuit Monitoring

  • Real-time draw on every breaker
  • Historical trends and cost data
  • Spot the expensive circuits at a glance

Control

Remote Circuit Switching

  • Kill any circuit from your phone
  • Vacation mode shuts non-essentials
  • Restore in any order, any time

Automation

Scheduled Load Shifting

  • EV charges on off-peak hours
  • Pool and hot tub run when rates dip
  • Rules adapt as utility pricing evolves

Outage Resilience

Generator Priority

  • Critical loads energize first
  • Non-essentials shed automatically
  • Right-size the generator you actually need

Production + Storage

Solar & Battery Ready

  • Single dashboard: produce, store, consume
  • Powerwall and Enphase compatible
  • Self-consumption optimized automatically

Integration

Control4 Dashboards

  • Energy data on every touchscreen
  • "Away" scenes shed non-essential loads
  • One interface for home + energy

An Intelligent Panel, In Place Of Yours

Savant smart breakers retrofit into most existing residential panels.

Same enclosure, same wiring, intelligent breakers in place of standard ones. Typically a half-day install with no panel swap required.

Nova Scotia Energy

Among the Highest Rates In Canada

Nova Scotia residential electricity is some of the most expensive in the country.

Electrification — EVs, heat pumps, second panels — keeps adding load. Smart energy management is no longer a luxury feature; it's a financial tool.

Top 3

The Rate

Nova Scotia consistently ranks among the three most expensive residential markets in Canada — and rates trend up, not down.

The Load

A modern home with an EV, heat pump, and second panel draws roughly twice what the same home did a decade ago.

10–20%

The Waste

Standby loads — devices "off" but quietly drawing — typically account for a tenth to a fifth of a monthly bill.

What Savant Reveals

  • The single highest-cost circuit in most homes
  • Standby loads quietly running 24/7
  • EV and hot tub overlap that trips the service
  • Where shifting hours pays the most

Where We Help

Wadden Electric is an Efficiency Nova Scotia preferred partner and SolarHomes approved installer.

We track rebate programs and rate structures so your system is sized for the way you'll actually use it — not the way the brochure suggests.

Backup + Production

Generator, Battery, Solar — One Strategy

Savant orchestrates the whole stack.

The generator covers extended outages, battery storage bridges the seconds before it starts and shaves peak draw, and solar production is tracked against consumption in real time. We don't install solar panels — we partner with certified solar installers and handle the electrical infrastructure, the battery, and the Savant integration.

Our Process

How Savant Power Gets Installed

Retrofit-friendly. Most homes don't need a panel swap.

01

Panel Assessment

We document every circuit, confirm compatibility, and identify which breakers get replaced. Most existing panels are fully compatible.

02

Smart Breaker Install

Standard breakers swapped for Savant smart breakers. Power module installed. Network connection established. Typically a half-day.

03

Configuration

Every circuit labeled. Automation rules set for load priority, scheduling, and generator coordination. Control4 dashboards configured.

04

30-Day Tuning

We review real consumption data after a month and refine the automation rules to match how your household actually behaves.

Common Questions

Energy Management Answers

What is Savant Power energy management?

Savant Power replaces traditional circuit breakers with intelligent ones. Every circuit becomes individually monitored and controllable from your phone or Control4 touchscreens — real-time consumption, historical trends, remote on/off, and automated rules for load shifting and outage priority. It's the foundation for solar, battery storage, and generator coordination in one system. Discuss your project →

Do I need to replace my entire electrical panel?

Usually no. Savant Power installs into most existing residential panels — standard breakers are swapped for Savant smart breakers in place. No new enclosure required, typically a half-day install. We confirm compatibility during a panel assessment before quoting.

Do you work with Efficiency Nova Scotia rebates?

Yes. Wadden Electric is an Efficiency Nova Scotia preferred partner and a SolarHomes approved installer. We guide you through rebate eligibility for EV chargers, heat pump wiring, lighting upgrades, and other efficiency improvements — and we stay current on the programs so you don't have to.

Does Wadden Electric install solar panels?

We don't install the panels themselves — we partner with certified solar installers. What we handle: the electrical infrastructure, battery storage installation, and the Savant Power integration that turns solar, batteries, and the grid into a single coordinated system. One team coordinates the strategy end to end.
