The GE Appliances EcoBalance System will work
with Tantalus’ TRUSense Gateway™ to reduce peak energy usage of
home appliances, HVAC and water heaters
GE Appliances, a Haier company, and Tantalus Systems (TSX:GRID)
today announce a partnership that will revolutionize the way home
appliances, HVAC systems and water heaters use real-time data to
manage energy delivery and consumption. The industry-first GE
Appliances EcoBalance System in partnership with Savant will
integrate with Tantalus’ TRUSense Gateway to cycle individual home
appliances, including air and water heating products, to support
grid modernization initiatives.

GE Appliances EcoBalance System in partnership with Savant
provides market-leading capabilities allowing consumers to control
their energy management of home appliances, HVAC systems and water
heaters. Tantalus’ TRUSense Gateway is installed between existing
meters and meter sockets, eliminating the costly and
labor-intensive process of replacing all the meters in a utility
service area.
“We helped electrify America, and with our portfolio of
innovative smart products and the technology of Tantalus, we can
use our shared capabilities to help save consumers money and help
save the country’s electrical grid,” said Kevin Nolan, president
and CEO of GE Appliances, a Haier company. “GE Appliances products
are currently in half of all U.S. homes, and we have an install
base of 26 million connectable appliances – so we have the capacity
to work with demand management systems to make a significant impact
on saving electricity.”
GE Appliances is America’s number one appliance company, the
first choice for builders and the first to offer suites of
connected appliances. Tantalus helps more than 285 utilities and
energy providers modernize their distribution grids by harnessing
the power of data across devices and systems deployed from the
substation to home appliances, water heaters, HVAC systems, or
electric vehicle chargers. By adding Tantalus to the GE Appliances
EcoBalance System, products will be able to “communicate” with
energy companies. For example, refrigerator defrost or ice cycles
can run during off-peak hours, water heaters can be charged with
energy for use later in the day, and HVAC systems can be adjusted a
few degrees to save energy and reduce peak demand.
These capabilities can be leveraged to help utilities reduce
their carbon footprint and balance energy load profiles - without
sacrificing performance or style. In addition, the technology is
useful when utilities are planning for natural disasters. Certain
items, like water heaters, can be charged with electricity in
advance of an incoming storm and used as a thermal storage device
if power is disrupted.
“In partnership with GE Appliances and Savant, Tantalus’ new
TRUSense Gateway will provide utilities with the visibility,
command and control they need over the distribution grid and allow
them to better serve customers as a wider range of smart appliances
and electric vehicles are adopted. By harnessing the power of data
from devices located behind the meter, we can further accelerate
grid modernization efforts,” said Peter Londa, President & CEO
of Tantalus Systems. “We are honored to join GE Appliances
EcoBalance System and work alongside their team to improve a
utilities’ resiliency, reliability and sustainability.”
The combined capabilities of GE Appliances’ EcoBalance System in
partnership with Savant and Tantalus’ TRUSense Gateway will be
displayed at the 2024 International Builders Show, DISTRIBUTECH
International and TechAdvantage It will also be incorporated into
upcoming field trials with utilities.
