Why You Need A Smart Panel

If your home still relies on a traditional electrical panel, you may miss out on one of the most impactful upgrades in home energy management. With energy costs rising and smart home tech becoming the norm, there’s never been a better time to consider upgrading to a smart panel—and at High West Electric, we proudly install SPAN, the industry leader in intelligent electrical panels.

Here’s why homeowners across Colorado are making the switch.

Real-Time Energy Monitoring and Control

Traditional electrical panels don’t give you any insight into your energy use—but smart panels do. With a smart panel, you can monitor your energy consumption in real time—circuit by circuit—right from your smartphone. Whether you’re trying to cut costs, live more sustainably, or simply understand where your power is going, the visibility is game-changing.

Know what’s running. Control what matters.

Be Battery-Backup Ready

Thinking about adding a backup battery or solar? A smart panel like SPAN is designed with that in mind. It allows you to prioritize circuits in the event of a power outage, so your most important appliances stay on when it matters most.

Lights on. Food cold. Wi-Fi connected. Even when the grid goes down.

Future-Proof Your Home

Electric vehicles. Solar energy. Battery storage. Smart appliances. The future of home energy is already here—and your panel should be ready. Smart panels are designed to scale with your technology, offering the infrastructure needed to support your smart home as it evolves.

Don’t let an outdated panel hold your home back.

Smarter Load Management

A smart panel actively manages power usage to avoid overloading your system. It helps prevent trips, balances loads, and ensures your power is being used efficiently.

Efficiency means savings—and fewer surprises on your electric bill.

Cleaner, Greener Living

With better data comes better decisions. Smart panels allow homeowners to track and adjust energy usage, making it easier to reduce your carbon footprint. For environmentally conscious households, a smart panel is a step toward a more sustainable lifestyle.
