ABB introduces ReliaHome Smart Panel with PanelGuard technology

ABB has announced the launch of ReliaHome™ Smart Panel with Panel Guard technology, an innovative load management algorithm that ensures homes stay within their electrical capacity. Managed through a convenient mobile app, it makes all-electric homes more efficient and easier to achieve. Unveiled at the NAHB International Builders' Show^® (IBS) in Las Vegas – the world’s largest residential construction industry event – the ReliaHome™ Smart Panel has also been announced as the winner of the 9th annual LSC Spark Award by the NAHB LSC, for innovation in the residential building industry.

With electricity making up 44% of U.S. residential energy use - and set to rise by up to 22% by 2050 - demand for flexible energy management solutions is growing. The ReliaHome™ Smart Panel now integrates dynamic load management with circuit-level visibility and control through its intelligent energy management software, simplifying home electrification by optimizing energy use, and avoiding costly upgrades, on any new or existing setup.

Designed to seamlessly integrate any electrical load – such as electric vehicle (EV) chargers, solar and storage systems, or energy-intensive appliances like induction stoves, electric heat pumps, and water heaters – the ReliaHome™ Smart Panel prioritizes on-demand appliance use, eliminating the need for expensive panel replacements or utility service upgrades. Perfect for both new single-family builds and renovations, it offers universal compatibility, allowing installation alongside any manufacturer's load center. For builders and contractors, the pre-wired, labelled design and mounting options make installation and commissioning quick and easy.




The intuitive ReliaHome™ Smart Panel app gives homeowners energy insights and remote control. Settings can be customized to accommodate vacancies, peak hours, or load balancing. Real-time and historical data on energy consumption allow homeowners to make smarter decisions about their energy use, alerting them to high-demand appliances that may need to be replaced.

Backed by ABB’s expert technical support team and a 10-year warranty, the ReliaHome™ Smart Panel delivers long-term reliability.
