Whole-Home Surge Protection
A whole-home surge protective device (SPD) helps protect your home's electrical equipment from voltage surges. While surge protectors are not designed to protect from direct lightning strikes, they can provide protection from surges caused by nearby storms, utility switching, and other events. It's an optional upgrade worth considering, especially in areas prone to thunderstorms.
Load Calculation & Panel Capacity
Before installing an EV charger, it's important to determine whether your home's electrical system can handle the additional demand. A load calculation estimates your home's electrical needs and compares them with your service capacity to help determine whether your existing system can support the charger or if another solution is needed.
Whole-Home Energy Monitoring
A whole-home energy monitor tracks your home's electricity usage in real time. VES uses Emporia products, including the Vue 3, to help evaluate actual energy demand and identify opportunities to avoid unnecessary electrical upgrades. Monitoring can provide valuable insight beyond a traditional load calculation.
EV Charger Load Management
If your home's electrical service has limited capacity, load management may let you add an EV charger without upgrading your service or panel. Compatible systems monitor electrical demand or adjust charging power to help keep total usage within available capacity. VES can help determine whether this is a practical option for your home.
