Embracing Energy Management

How San Diego-based Lightworks is Supporting Savant's Vision for Smart Home Power

- Jeremy Glowacki

Since its founding in 2005, Savant has been primarily known as a home automation and control company specializing in smart home technology and integration that works seamlessly with Apple’s ecosystem. In recent years, however, the company has expanded its reach into the development of what it calls the “Ultimate Energy Management Solution.”

The Savant Power System monitors energy production and usage trends, controls circuits at the distribution panel, and manages solar, battery, or generator backup sources all via the Savant App. Savant systems scale to meet the needs of any size building from single-family homes to large installations. Savant Power Systems enable homeowners to offset peak utility rates, keep stored power flowing to where it’s needed during grid outages, and optimize overall energy usage.

Troy Dunnington, CEO of San Diego-based full-service design-build integration firm, Lightworks, is an example of a Savant dealer who fully embraces the brand’s entire power package. He’s so committed to Savant Power, in fact, that he has redesigned a room in his showroom to display the brand’s latest offerings in burgeoning CI category.

As a ProSource member HTA Certified dealer, Savant Ambassador Elite dealer, Lutron Black Diamond Dealer, and Hall Famer dealer, Lightworks is a highly respected and decorated member of the custom integration industry, which provides an added level of credibility to Dunnington’s enthusiasm for the burgeoning smart power category.

Lightworks is enthusiastic about enabling their clients’ visibility of energy production and consumption trends, helping manage weather power outages, onset peak utility rates when on the grid, and optimizing energy usage when off the grid.
