In this episode of the Build Show, Jake is joined by Ross Trethewey to explore the Span smart electrical panel, a modern evolution of the traditional breaker box. Unlike standard panels, Span offers advanced energy monitoring and load management, allowing homeowners to see power usage on a circuit-by-circuit basis and control priorities through a mobile app. Ross explains how this system enhances efficiency—especially in homes with solar, battery storage, or generators—by intelligently managing loads to prevent overuse and extend backup power.

The conversation covers practical benefits, from optimizing limited electrical service to diagnosing unusual energy spikes that could indicate equipment issues. With its blend of familiar hardware and cutting-edge tech, the Span panel brings visibility, control, and smarter energy use to residential power systems, packaged in a clean, modern design that reimagines what an electrical panel can do.
