As electricians, we often get asked: “How can I better understand or manage the power I’m using at home?” While there’s no single answer for every home, we do have a few go-to apps we love sharing with our customers—because they genuinely make life easier, smarter, and safer.

Note: We’re not affiliated with these apps or their creators—we just think they’re smart tools for homeowners who want more control over their home’s electrical usage.

1. Sense Home Energy Monitor

Sense gives you real-time insight into your home’s energy usage. It identifies which appliances are using power and when, helping you reduce waste and understand your patterns better.

3. Ting by Whisker Labs

Ting detects electrical fire hazards before they become dangerous. It listens for micro-arcs and anomalies in your wiring, alerting you to risks you’d otherwise never know about. We have not seen this in action but this looks really cool.
