Installing a Basis Smart Panel? Check out Steph’s top tip that’s guaranteed to set you up for success. 👏⚡️

She recently had the Basis Smart Panel installed and prepped her home beforehand by mapping out her circuits… making life easier for the sparky and speeding up the install. 🛠️🏡⚡️

Speaking of labelling circuits, with the Basis Smart Panel, you can clearly map every circuit AND assign device labels to each one using the Basis Home app.

So, you’ll know exactly what powers what, and if something plays up, you can pinpoint it instantly. 🔎📲

Compare that to a traditional switchboard… you can’t. There’s no comparison.

The Basis Smart Panel gives you a whole new level of visibility and confidence 🤔🔌

Let’s go!

Gold medals demand performance. So do renos. 🏅🏠

When started renovating his home, he wasn’t just chasing a good-looking space… he wanted a home that actually performs.

Basis Smart Panels fit the brief.

⚡ Real-time electricity insight
🛠️ Around a 1-hour install

You’re upgrading the finishes.

First Basis Smart Panel install ✅⚡️

Matt from just ticked off his first one. Installed for his neighbour… who also happens to work at Basis 👀

No pressure at all 😂

It couldn’t have gone any smoother.

The online training translated properly on-site.
Landing the cables was straightforward.
Configuring everything in the Trade App was easy.

You’re not designing everything physically inside the board anymore.

Just land the cables ➡️ Open the app ➡️ Configure the circuits.

More flexibility.
Less friction.
Way smarter workflow.

First one down. Confidence up.

Next installs loading. 🔥⚡️

“The switchboard’s always been something that’s been missed… a standard switchboard looks pretty archaic.”

Yeah… fair call, Jacob.

Switchboards haven’t exactly moved with the times. Same old box, same old look, quietly doing its thing in the background.

The Basis Smart Panel changes that. It’s modern, considered, and designed to look good whether the lid’s on or off. Something you don’t have to hide, and something electricians are proud to install.

Took long enough. ️🙄

Pretty good feeling installing something you helped build. 🏠⚡️

Matt, one of our Mechanical Engineers, just installed a Basis Smart Panel in his place in Orewa. He has a young family and a full house, so knowing the switchboard’s doing what it should matters.

Now he can see what’s happening with his electricity in real time, and every circuit’s protected. Simple. Solid. 💪🏻

“As a design engineer, it’s a real privilege to see things I’ve designed out in the market. Having this in my own home feels like a real milestone.”

We’ll check back in with Matt in a month and see how it’s stacking up. 📱📊

Nothing like faults that only show up when you’re not on site 😅

The legend, Jacob from , knows a thing or two about them.

He yarned to us about hard-to-find, recurring faults, the hours lost trying to recreate them, and how the Basis Smart Panel gives you the visibility to find and diagnose them instantly.

No more chasing ghosts 👻

Big week for us.

First-ever install in Cambridge, and we couldn’t have picked a better home than the legend ’s 🏡⚡️

Extra special because it was Butch from Bo & Co Electrical’s first install, and we were there to catch the whole thing on camera.

Full story landing next week. Trust us, it’s a good one. 👀

Most people love to sit on new tech like:

“lemme see it everywhere first” 😅
“prove it works” 🤨
“you go first” 👉

Blake’s not most people. ⚡️

As a sparky and owner of , he knows switchboards better than most. He knows that they:

✅ do the basics
❌ give you zero visibility
❌ are not built for modern homes 🧠🏠

So the second he could, he installed a Basis Smart Panel in his own home. 🔧✨

Not because what he had was broken… but because he knew how the panel would forever change the way he managed electricity in his home.

Now he’s got:

📊 real visibility into where the electricity’s going
🛡️ continuous monitoring for faults (not just “trip after the fact”)
🚗⚡️ a home that’s ready for EV charging, hot water and whatever comes next

This is not a gadget for Blake. It’s a meaningful upgrade. 🤝⚡️

You install rooftop solar and feel very good about life… as you should! You’re helping the planet.

But most people ask the same question “where is my power actually go?” 😅

That’s the part most solar apps don’t really answer. They’ll give you an overview, but they won’t give you a detailed view of how electricity is being consumed inside your home.

In our latest Basis Story, our very own Fleur shares how she uses solar and the Basis Board to maximise her energy efficiency.

Why Basis + solar is the duo you want:

⚡️ See what’s really going on
Basis shows circuit-level insights, so you can spot the sneaky power-hungry stuff fast.

📲 Turn solar into a plan
Set routines for the big loads (like hot water) and match them to when solar is pumping, and what the weather’s doing.

🔋 Stay steady when the grid isn’t
If outages are a thing where you live, solar + battery + smart management helps keep your home running smoothly and efficiently.

💸 Get more out of every kWh
Once you can see your home’s “heartbeat,” you can shift usage, cut waste, and make your solar investment work harder.

Solar generates the power. Basis helps you master it 💪🏻

Tim’s camping fridge was a savage 🧟

For months, it was chewing through power… and he had no clue.

When he hooked up the Basis Smart Panel, the insights on his app showed that his garage was burning way too much energy. A quick chat with his sparky, Theo from 🔧 and the culprit was found: the fridge he’d left plugged in after his son’s birthday 🎂… 6 months ago.

By unplugging the fridge, he’s saving around $600 on his power bill 💸🙌

That’s the power of knowing where your energy is going.
