How a Load Management System Can Save You Money
Addressing Electric Vehicle Charging Challenges in Fraser Valley
Electric vehicles (EVs) are increasingly popular, prompting many residents in the Fraser Valley to seek our expertise for charger installations. However, a common hurdle arises due to electrical limitations in numerous households.
In the Fraser Valley, several homes lack the capacity to safely accommodate EV charging alongside existing appliances, such as heat pumps, hot tubs, or secondary suites. This constraint often necessitates a complete service upgrade, a financially burdensome option for many customers.
Introducing Load Management Solutions
A practical alternative to service upgrades is the integration of load management units. So, what exactly is a load management device? This device enables the operation of substantial electrical loads like EV chargers within the safe limits of the panel's capacity.
In this installation we used a Black Box. This device monitors the feeder of the panel insuring that the EV charger won’t over load the service. This installation saved the customer 70% in expenses compared to a service upgrade!
Diverse Solutions for Varied Needs
Various types of load management units are available, each tailored to specific scenarios. For instance, some cater to condominiums without exclusive parking spaces, while others cater to homes with fully occupied breaker panels.
The Benefits of Load Management
Regardless of the type, these units offer a unified advantage: facilitating safe EV charging without mandating a panel upgrade, resulting in considerable cost savings for customers. Given the evolving energy landscape in British Columbia, load management is poised to play a pivotal role in the ongoing energy transition.
