A Game-Changer in Home Electrification Revealed
ABB 's latest innovation, the ReliaHome™ Smart Panel with PanelGuard technology, was front and center at the NAHB International Builders' Show® in Las Vegas.
This is not a product launch—it's a sincere reaction to the growing pains of homeowners dealing with electrification. With electricity driving 44% of US residential energy use (and poised to increase 22% by 2050), the necessity for smart, adaptable solutions has never been greater. Bringing home the LSC Spark Award only adds to its significance—a testament to ABB 's drive to revolutionize how we power our homes.
Smarter Load Management, Simplified Living
What sets the ReliaHome™ Smart Panel apart is its PanelGuard technology—an intelligent load management algorithm that feels like having a personal energy assistant. Seamlessly integrating with EV chargers, solar systems, or heavy-duty appliances like heat pumps, it ensures your home stays within its electrical limits. Whether it's a new build or a retrofit, this panel adapts effort. Gone are the days of dreadlessly costly service upgrades— ABB has created a solution with simplicity and efficiency in mind, so homeowners can electrify with confidence.
Empowerment Through the App
The magic truly unfolds with the ReliaHome™ Smart Panel app. To have real-time insight into your energy usage at your fingertips—it's empowering and, quite frankly, a little addictive. From setting peak hour adjustments to tracking historical data, it puts homeowners in control. It is not just about technology; it is about bringing a sense of harmony between people and their dwellings so that the management of energy doesn't feel like a task and more like a partnership.
A Builder's Dream and a Homeowner's Relief
For builders and contractors, this panel is a dream come true. Pre-wired, clearly labeled, and fast to install, it's as if ABB dreamed up every aggravation on the job site. But beyond the technical benefits, there's a deeper story: relief for the 48 million homeowners staring down expensive upgrades to go all-electric. This is not just innovation—this is compassion engineered into every circuit.
