Build Show Live 2026 Registration

CJ Nielsen discusses the Leviton Smart Panel, explaining how smart electrical panels fit into modern home energy management and where this system stands among competing options. He outlines common smart panel features, including energy monitoring, circuit control, scheduling, and load management, while noting that capabilities vary by manufacturer.

Nielsen focuses on Leviton’s modular approach, where homeowners can add smart functionality over time through compatible breakers and a separate hub rather than replacing the entire electrical panel. He also highlights the installation process, upgrade flexibility, pricing, and current software limitations, particularly around automated load shedding and advanced whole-home energy management.
