Smart Panel Evolution: Is a SPAN or Leviton Smart Panel Right for Your New England Home?

Your electrical panel is the control center for your electrical system, and newer smart panels are changing how homeowners monitor and manage that power. For New England homeowners considering an electrical panel replacement or upgrade, SPAN and Leviton offer smart panel solutions with advanced features that go beyond what a traditional breaker panel can provide.

But is a smart panel right for your home? Understanding how these systems work and what SPAN and Leviton offer can help you decide whether smart panel technology makes sense for your electrical needs.

What Is a Smart Electrical Panel?

A smart panel performs the same basic function as a traditional electrical panel, but it adds technology that allows you to monitor and manage your home's electricity. Depending on the system, you may be able to track energy consumption, control individual circuits, receive alerts, and prioritize certain electrical loads.

This added visibility can be particularly useful as homes become more dependent on electricity. EV chargers, heat pumps, solar panel systems, battery storage, and other high-demand equipment can place new demands on a home's electrical system. A smart panel can give you more information about how that power is being used.

SPAN Panel

The SPAN Panel is designed with a strong emphasis on circuit-level control and energy management. Through the SPAN app, you can monitor individual circuits and control which parts of your home receive power. This level of control can be particularly useful if you have solar panels, battery storage, or plans to add backup power to your home.

A SPAN Panel may be worth considering if you want detailed control over your electrical loads or are building a more advanced home energy management system. For example, if you lose utility power and are relying on a battery system, the ability to prioritize certain circuits can help you direct available power toward essential parts of your home.

Leviton Smart Load Center

The Leviton Smart Load Center combines Leviton's established load center equipment with smart monitoring and connected features. The system works with the My Leviton app, giving you access to information about your home's electrical usage from your phone.

A Leviton system can be a great option if you already use compatible Leviton smart devices in your home. Rather than introducing a completely separate smart home system, the Smart Load Center can work alongside other Leviton products you already use.
