At Bond Containers, sustainability isn’t just a feature—it’s the foundation of every home we build. From solar-powered systems to off-grid capabilities, our homes are designed to give homeowners more freedom, more efficiency, and more control. One of the most impactful tools we include in our homes is the Home Energy Monitoring System—a powerful technology that tracks your real-time energy usage and helps you reduce both your environmental footprint and your utility bills.
What Is a Home Energy Monitoring System?
A Home Energy Monitoring System (HEMS) provides real-time data on your home’s electricity usage, allowing you to see exactly how and where energy is being consumed. Whether it’s your HVAC system, lighting, appliances, or charging an electric vehicle, you’ll get instant insights into how each element is affecting your power consumption.
Optimize Energy Efficiency
The real power of HEMS lies in its ability to help you make informed decisions. By identifying which systems are using the most energy, you can take simple steps to improve efficiency—like adjusting thermostat settings, scheduling high-usage appliances during off-peak hours, or switching to low-energy devices.
With a Bond Containers home, this system pairs seamlessly with our solar and off-grid technology, allowing you to monitor not just how much energy you’re using—but also how much you’re producing and storing.
Lower Utility Costs
By monitoring and optimizing your energy use, many homeowners see a noticeable reduction in monthly utility bills. With rising energy costs, this kind of insight pays for itself quickly. Even small changes, informed by your system’s data, can lead to big savings over time.
Real-Time Alerts and Smart Integration
Our monitoring system can be connected to your smartphone, providing real-time alerts and usage summaries wherever you are. If usage suddenly spikes or your solar battery storage drops below a certain level, you’ll know instantly—giving you the tools to act quickly and stay in control.
Plus, it integrates with other smart home technologies, including thermostats, lighting systems, and appliances, to create a fully automated and energy-conscious home environment.
Take Advantage of Federal Tax Incentives
One of the biggest advantages? The Home Energy Monitoring System may qualify for federal tax incentives, especially when installed as part of a solar energy system. Through the Residential Clean Energy Credit, eligible homeowners can receive a 30% tax credit on qualified energy-efficient improvements—including monitoring systems used with solar installations.
This means that not only will the system help you save money month-to-month—it could also lower your upfront cost significantly through tax savings.
Built for a Smarter, Greener Future
At Bond Containers, we’re committed to building homes that are intelligent, efficient, and future-ready. Our Home Energy Monitoring System is one more way we empower our homeowners to live sustainably—while keeping more money in their pocket.
Whether you’re going off-grid, powering your home with solar, or just trying to reduce your energy use, this system is a key part of building a smarter home—and a smarter future.
