Cutting the Energy Waste in Highland Park's Largest Homes
A 10,000-square-foot Highland Park estate with multiple HVAC zones, a pool, an outdoor kitchen, and a detached guest house can run a utility bill that looks more like a small commercial building than a home. Most homeowners never see where the energy actually goes. We install Savant Power monitoring at your panel and put circuit-level data in real time on the same touch panel that runs your lights, your music, your security. Once you can see it, you can curb it. Automated load management cuts the waste without ever cutting the comfort.
Preston Hollow's newer estates increasingly carry solar arrays and battery storage, and EVs are now the rule rather than the exception across Highland Park and University Park. These systems earn their value only when they are intelligently woven together. We connect solar inverters, Powerwalls, and Level 2 chargers into your automation so charging schedules, storage priorities, and grid-export decisions move on their own — based on time-of-use rates and what the sun is doing at noon. A home as thoughtful about energy as it is about light.
How We Do It in Park Cities
A Look at the Numbers — We review 12 months of your utility bills, walk your panels, your HVAC equipment, and your major loads, and identify where the savings actually live.
Designing the Visibility — We specify Savant Power modules for every panel, map circuits to zones and appliances, and design the dashboard that will give you complete sight of the estate's energy life.
The Electrical Work — Current transformers and monitoring modules are installed at each panel by licensed electricians. EV circuits, solar disconnects, and battery interconnections are wired to code.
Bringing It Into Your Home — Energy data feeds Savant. We build the automations — HVAC setbacks, off-peak EV charging, pool pump optimization, solar priority routing — and the waste falls away on its own.
Dashboards and Alerts — Live energy dashboards on your touch panels and your phone. Alerts when a compressor is drawing too much, when a circuit was left on in the guest house, when solar drops below where it should be.
Quarterly Together — We review your data quarterly, refine the automations as the seasons turn, and find the next opportunity as your real life evolves.
Who We Help in Park Cities
- You see a utility bill north of $1,500 every month and you want a real way to bring it down
- You are building or renovating in Preston Hollow and weaving solar and battery storage into the home
- You drive an EV and you want smart Level 2 charging that lives within your home's electrical capacity
- You care about consumption and you want a real-time dashboard, not a quarterly summary
- You own a home with a pool house, a guest quarters, or a detached garage adding loads you cannot see
The Frustrations We Hear Most
- A bill over $2,000 a month with no breakdown of where the energy is actually going
- HVAC zones running heating and cooling against each other on poorly programmed thermostats
- Solar panels installed without ever being woven into the rest of the home
- EV charging pulling maximum amperage during peak hours and triggering rate penalties
- Pool pumps, landscape lighting, and irrigation running on rigid schedules that ignore the weather
Licensed, Insured, Quietly Compliant
- Licensed and insured in Texas with all electrical work performed by licensed electricians
- NEC-compliant panel modifications, EV charger installations, and solar interconnections
- Savant Power module manufacturer warranties and certified installer requirements
- Coordination with Highland Park building permits for electrical panel upgrades
- Our 2-year labor warranty on every energy management installation
The Questions People Actually Ask.
How much can energy monitoring actually reduce my Highland Park utility bill?
Most homeowners see 15 to 25 percent reductions in the first year — HVAC zones running when nobody is home, pool pumps cycling at peak rates, lights left on in the rooms nobody is using. Visibility makes the waste obvious, and the system pays for itself by making it actionable.
Can you integrate solar panels I already have installed?
Yes. We connect your existing inverter to the Savant Power platform so production, consumption, and storage all live in one dashboard. The integration also unlocks automations that route solar to the high-draw circuits during peak production.
What EV chargers do you recommend for Highland Park homes?
Smart Level 2 chargers from Wall Connector, ChargePoint, and Wallbox. The right one depends on your vehicle, your panel capacity, and whether load management is needed to keep your service amperage honest at peak demand.
Do I need a panel upgrade to add energy monitoring and EV charging?
Not always. We do a real load calculation during the audit. Many Highland Park homes already carry 400-amp service that has room for what you want to add. If an upgrade is needed, we coordinate with Oncor and a licensed electrician and walk it through with you.
Can my HVAC systems be automated to reduce energy waste?
Yes. Smart thermostats and HVAC controls weave into the automation. Schedules, occupancy sensing, and geofencing condition zones only when they should be conditioned. We also catch the cases where heating and cooling are quietly fighting each other and end the war.
