Action Items

  • Collaboration team: Engage with modular home builders to discuss Leviton Load Center integration opportunities.
  • Product team: Collect and review feedback from builders and homeowners regarding usability and installation experiences.
  • Marketing: Prepare outreach materials and case studies tailored to the modular home industry.
  • Technical support: Create troubleshooting guidelines for remote diagnostics using indicator lights and app controls.

Leviton Load Center Product Overview

  • The Leviton Load Center, launched in 2018, addresses longstanding industry needs around efficiency, scalability, and consumer safety.
  • It is available in multiple circuit configurations (20, 30, 42, 66 circuits) and is solar-ready with a 225-amp bus rating, reducing the need for panel changes when solar is added.
  • Installation is streamlined, with all wiring landed on terminal strips rather than directly to breakers, enabling fast trim-out and easy breaker snap-in.
  • Three types of breakers are available: traditional, electronic (with enhanced safety and GFI self-testing), and smart (with energy monitoring capabilities).
  • The system allows easy upgrades by swapping standard breakers for smart units.

Smart Home Integration & Energy Management

  • The system supports whole-home energy monitoring through a hub that communicates with smart breakers via Bluetooth and with home Wi-Fi for remote control and analytics.
  • Additional current transformers (CTs) allow monitoring of solar inputs and battery walls, providing a full picture of consumption and production.
  • Integration with generators removes the need for separate subpanels; the system automatically manages essential and non-essential loads via remote control through the app and low-voltage wiring.
  • Remote breaker management and scheduling via the My Leviton app allow homeowners control over circuits (e.g., for pools, heat tape), improving energy efficiency and safety.

Consumer Experience & Support

  • The white panel design is intended to be more approachable and less intimidating for homeowners.
  • Remote diagnostics are supported: homeowners or electricians can reference indicator lights for troubleshooting, minimizing service calls.
  • The system is designed for modular factories and field electricians, simplifying installation and post-move-in scalability.

Decisions

  • Adopt Leviton Load Center for modular home market outreach — Based on its advanced features, safety, and compatibility, the team agreed to promote and implement the Load Center within the modular home segment.

Open Questions / Follow-Ups

  • How quickly can updated marketing collateral be distributed to modular builder prospects?
  • Are there additional training needs for electricians unfamiliar with terminal strip installation or remote diagnostics?
  • What is the anticipated feedback cycle timeline from initial modular builder partners?
