Enhancing Electrical Systems for Single and Multifamily Homes

In the realm of renewable energies, stand by power, and increasing electrification, it can be difficult for developers and builders to predict future electrical demands of their customers. Solar, EV charging, generators, and battery storage systems demand increased capacity for traditional loads, coupled with the integration of smart app technology. The Leviton Load Center with Smart Breakers is a scalable, safe, and easy-to-install solution that can adapt to rapidly changing energy demands.

An Integrated Whole-Home Energy Management Solution

The versatility of the Leviton Load Center is noteworthy, particularly its scalability within homes. The Smart Breakers can be seamlessly integrated into the load center after occupancy. As homeowners look to integrate solar, battery storage, or backup generators, Leviton’s standard breakers can be upgraded to Smart Breakers along with Leviton's Whole Home Energy Monitor (LWHEM). The combination empowers homeowners to view those Smart Breakers for consumption, set schedules, receive notifications when breakers trip, and manage essential loads when power is disrupted and switches over to the generator.

Leviton's Load Center with Smart Breaker/LWHEN option simplifies energy consumption knowledge and centralizes control for homeowners. After downloading the My Leviton app, homeowners can:

• Schedule time-of-day power requirements
• Monitor kWh usage of the whole load center or critical load circuits when a Smart Breaker is installed
• Integrate two alternate energy sources such as solar or battery storage
• Track energy distribution
• View battery wall activity
• Turn Smart Breakers off and on remotely
• Receive real-time updates when a circuit breaker trips
• Manage Decora Smart Wi-Fi lighting controls and EV chargers

Increased Safety and Faster Installation

As a leading manufacturer of safe electrical solutions, Leviton delivers the most stringent GFCI circuit breaker protection available. Their GFCI breakers are designed to trip when they detect a ground fault and cannot be reset, ensuring that homeowners stay safe until the system can be properly inspected by an electrical contractor.

Additionally, electricians will appreciate Leviton’s plug-on design, which speeds up installation by roughly 25%, saving valuable time and increasing productivity. Breakers simply snap in and out, requiring no wiring to circuit breakers up to 60 amps.

In an era where energy efficiency and savings are critical, Leviton Load Centers enable property managers and homeowners to make more informed decisions about their energy use. As a distributor of Leviton solutions, Wesco is ready to assist builders, prefab manufacturers, and developers with incorporating the Smart Breaker option into their single and multifamily projects.
