In order to reduce their energy consumption homeowners need to be informed of how much energy they’re consuming, and the Wiser Energy Smart Home Monitor – Schneider Electric’s home energy monitoring system – is the perfect tool for the job.

“I instantly fell in love with the Wiser Energy Smart Home Monitor. I’ve installed it in my own home,” says Rinomato. “It gives you so much information at your fingertips.”

With that information, it’s easy to make little modifications, such as turning off lights, unplugging items that don’t need to be plugged in, and setting up zoned heating and cooling, that can have a big impact.

“It’s all about getting people to be a little more conscious. Imagine if we all just turned the temperature down one degree, the massive impact that would have. And it’s so easy to do,” says McBurney.

“That’s the beautiful thing about the Wiser Energy Smart Home Monitor system is that it allows for consumer awareness. That’s really the first step of behavioural changes,” says Rinomato.

Beyond user awareness, the Wiser Energy Smart Home Monitor gives Country Homes’ clients – the homeowners – 24-hour a day monitoring of household appliances, their HVAC system, and any other electronic devices connected to their electrical panel, giving them real-time energy consumption data and security alerts. In short, peace of mind that they’re doing their part while protecting their biggest asset.

Additionally, the Wiser Approved Installer Program was created specifically for electricians to help them learn more about the Wiser Energy Smart Home Monitor and how to install and use the system. It includes training, discounts, and promotions.

For Country Homes, innovation and forward-thinking are key. “We’re trying to future-proof our homes. It’s a lot easier for us to do it now than for a homeowner to do it later,” Rinomato. That’s why electric vehicle rough-ins have been standard in all Country Homes since 2018. “Solar energy, battery storage, EV chargers, those are all elements of our community design plans going forward,” says Rinomato.
