WAUKESHA, Wis., March 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Power outages from
coast to coast have created a growing demand for home standby
generators. With electric utility bills also on the
rise1, the challenge of protecting the home from outages
while protecting the bank account from outrageous electric bills is
uniquely solved with the new energy-monitoring PWRview™ Automatic
Transfer Switch (ATS) from GeneracⓇ Power
Systems (NYSE: GNRC).
With the launch of the PWRview ATS, Generac is the first to
offer a Home Energy Monitoring System (HEMS) built into the switch.
The PWRview ATS allows any home that is being equipped with a home
standby generator to immediately access powerful, money-saving
insights about the home's energy consumption.
Because the PWRview monitor is already built into the transfer
switch that is required for the generator, PWRview insights are
available as soon as the generator system is installed. Homeowners
can download the PWRview app to any smartphone to easily monitor
their home's energy use from anywhere in the world, and unlock
never-before-seen information that can help lower energy bills by
up to 20 percent2.
The PWRview app gives homeowners access to their energy usage
with a real time display and 24/7 remote access to their
electricity consumption. Live dashboards provide deep insights to
inform homeowners when they are wasting electricity and where their
electricity is being used. Detailed bill tracking and consumption
forecasts educate homeowners on energy habits to eliminate
surprises on their monthly bill.
"The PWRview transfer switch makes saving energy and money
easy," said Russ Minick, Chief
Marketing Officer for Generac. "Making HEMS an integral part of the
transfer switch means generator owners can save enough money over
time through more efficient energy consumption to offset a
significant portion of the cost of the home standby system, while
enjoying all the safety and security of a backup power
solution."
