Is electrification your New Year’s Resolution? Make the most of it!

At this time of year, many of us are thinking about ways to improve our lives and homes. Maybe you’ve considered switching to an EV, installing a heat pump or upgrading to an induction stove. These changes can make a big impact on your comfort and air quality while reducing environmental impact.

However, many homeowners may need a new breaker panel and upgraded electrical service from their utility to accommodate these additions, which can be a major roadblock and cost upwards of $4,000 or more. Traditional “upgrade avoidance” solutions severely limit what appliances you can add and where they can go, forcing homeowners to compromise in ways they didn’t expect—or want.

At Lumin^®, we’ve been working on a smarter electrification solution that doesn’t make homeowners sacrifice what matters most to them. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Panel Guard, a pioneering innovation that eliminates the need for costly electrical panel and utility service upgrades while providing uncompromising energy transparency and control.

What Makes It Different?

Not all service upgrade avoidance solutions are created equal. Most only manage one or two appliances and are limited in what types of appliances those can be and where they can be installed. Panel Guard is built differently.

Panel Guard lets your appliances work together seamlessly and intelligently, deferring to your priorities without overloading your system. This means you can add appliances at any time—EV chargers, heat pumps, even a hot tub—anywhere in your home, with no costly upgrades required. This retrofit-ready solution works with any existing setup, saving you time and money.

With the new Lumin Energy app, you get unmatched visibility and control over your energy. Turn circuits on or off as needed, schedule appliances for off-peak hours to lower bills and track your energy use to find more ways to save.

And because every Lumin product is thoughtfully designed, engineered, and assembled in Charlottesville, Virginia, you can count on the reliability and performance that comes from a commitment to quality and local craftsmanship.
