Take Control of Your Home’s Energy Every Day and During Outages
End Your Reliance on the Grid and Create a Greener Home with a Power Management System
Managing your home’s energy. That concept was rarely considered except by those homeowners who went all-in on solar power or another form of sustainable energy. Today’s changing environment and the increasingly unreliable power grids have changed that.
Now, people are looking at how to create a sustainable future for our children and decrease their dependence on the electrical grid. The answer lies in a power management system. Let’s explore what these systems offer homes in Utah County, UT.

Utah’s Electrical System
From failing transformers to wildfires and potential cybersecurity threats, Utah’s electrical grid faces rising uncertainties. Last year, in 2022, a Grid Resilience Committee was formed to identify the threats and possible actions. The issues are many, including continuing supply chain challenges, security, extreme weather that’s increasing demand, and wildfires.
As more people experience power loss, whether from rolling blackouts or natural disasters, they’re turning to renewable energy, home energy monitoring, and energy storage systems. When combined with home automation systems that manage HVAC, motorized shades, and lighting, they experience unprecedented energy management and conservation.
Power Management Systems for a Sustainable Future
Homeowners are taking control of their power, increasing the use of green energy while reducing their reliance on power grids. They’re accomplishing this by installing power management systems.
These systems use the sun’s energy and other renewable energy sources to reduce a home’s carbon footprint while providing it with sustainable energy. In the past, this green energy was only available when the sun was out, leaving peak energy usage periods, such as dinner time, reliant on the power grid.
Battery-based energy storage systems changed that. Now, the energy can be stored and used when you need it the most, and thanks to power management systems, you can power up your entire home or just one area with backup energy with one touch. Use the energy to reduce costs by going green during peak energy demand times, or use the system to ensure you have power during an outage.
Leveraging the Power of Home Automation
An integrated software application lets you monitor your home’s energy usage and control which circuits use solar, battery backup, or grid energy. You also receive energy alerts via text message, informing you of an impending storm or grid failure.
Should you be away from home during a power outage, the system automatically sends stored energy to essential circuits, and circuit breakers shut down non-essential systems to save energy. At the same time, the system may turn off all audio-video equipment, adjust the temperature, and dim the lights to conserve energy further. It's remarkable technology and one we’re proud to be a part of at AMT Integration.
