Practical guidance

Load reviews, phasing options, and management strategies tailored to current equipment and usage.

  • Electrification-ready: EV, heat pump, and appliance planning coordinated.
  • Phased approach: what to do now vs. later with clear triggers.
  • Operations-aware: recommendations reflect actual usage patterns.

Who benefits

Good fit for

Guidance for owners planning electrification while keeping existing infrastructure productive.

  • Homes adding EV charging, heat pumps, or electric hot water with limited panel space.
  • Shops or small businesses wanting a phased path instead of a single major upgrade.
  • Properties balancing peak usage with shared or constrained services.
  • Teams comparing control options before buying new load management gear.
  • Projects needing documented assumptions to align vendors and budgets.

Planning outputs

What you get

Deliverables that keep decisions practical and tied to current conditions.

  • Load review and electrification plan covering EV, heat pump, hot water, and cooking loads.
  • Phased upgrade strategy: what to tackle now, what to defer, and trigger points.
  • Load management options including controls, scheduling, and demand management where applicable.
  • Demand calculation support at a planning level to frame capacity and limits.
  • Recommendations tied to existing equipment, usage patterns, and realistic sequencing.
  • High-level coordination notes for contractors or vendors to price against.

Inputs

What we need from you

Clear inputs allow for right-sized recommendations without overbuilding.

  • Panel schedules, photos, and any recent load data or utility history.
  • Planned loads with timing (EVs, HVAC, appliances) and any seasonal shifts.
  • Constraints like service size, tenancy needs, or operational windows.
  • Preferences on phasing, budget ranges, or downtime tolerances.

Process

How it works

A streamlined path to align recommendations with your project schedule.

  1. Discovery: Share current loads, planned additions, and constraints.
  2. Recommendations: Receive phased upgrades, management options, and planning-level demand context.
  3. Next steps: Prioritized actions and coordination notes you can hand to contractors or vendors.
