Why Today’s Homes Need Smarter Electrical Panels
If you’re installing EV chargers, solar panels, or batteries, a traditional “dumb” panel just won’t cut it. Modern homes require panels that are future-ready, safe, and smart. At Santiban Services Group, we specialize in upgrading residential electrical panels and integrating smart panels like Span and Eaton, along with options like EcoFlow. We also offer energy-monitoring add-ons from Sense, Wiser, and Emporia Vue for homeowners who prefer cost-effective upgrades.
Why Upgrade Your Panel?
• Safety first: Old panels may not handle today’s energy load (80% continuous rule).
• Smart control: Smart panels deliver circuit-level insights, remote switching, and integration with EV, solar, and batteries.
• Reliability: Modern systems like Span and Eaton’s intelligent panels ensure uptime and optimize usage.
• Savings: Paired with a battery or EV charger, these panels can enroll in time-of-use savings and qualify for 30% federal tax credits.

Budget-Friendly Energy Monitors
Prefer to keep your current panel? These are great add-ons:
• Sense – Learns device-level usage over time
• Wiser – Schneider Electric-based monitoring
• Emporia Vue – Economic, accurate per-circuit tracking

These systems offer transparency but lack circuit control and dynamic load management.
How We Upgrade Your Panel — Step-by-Step
1. Load analysis & design
We perform NEC-compliant load calculations and engineer stamped plan sets for structural and electrical integration.
2. Smart panel selection
We help you choose based on your home’s needs—from fully integrated Span/Eaton, to hybrid EcoFlow, or monitoring-only solutions.
3. Permits & interconnection
We file stamped permits, coordinate with your utility (CenterPoint, Entergy, TNMP), and prepare documentation for rebates.
4. Upgrading and installation
Licensed pros install the smart panel, reroute circuits, connect backup/EV systems, and
add surge protection—all backed by our $1M+ insurance.
5. Commissioning & training
We test every feature, train you on app control, and hand over inspection-ready
documentation for your records and tax credits.
