Energy Sentry Expands to Georgia: 47 Years of Proven Energy Savings Meet the Future of Smart Power Management
Introducing Energy Sentry: 47 Years of Smarter Energy Management
For nearly five decades, Energy Sentry has quietly led the charge in energy efficiency and demand management innovation. Since 1978, this American-made company has helped homeowners and businesses save on electricity costs through its revolutionary Demand Automation Computer (DAC) — a system designed to automatically control and optimize energy use.
Today, after 47 years of proven success, Energy Sentry proudly announces its official expansion into the state of Georgia, bringing the same trusted technology that has transformed energy management in the Southwest and Southeast to Georgia Power customers statewide.
With over 25,000 installations in Arizona and 10,000 more across Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, the company’s impact is widespread — saving consumers 10–30% on average while helping utilities balance demand more efficiently.
Why Georgia, and Why Now?
Georgia Power customers have faced a 31% increase in electric rates over the past five years, creating the perfect moment for Energy Sentry’s expansion. Rising energy costs, coupled with the state’s shift toward Time-of-Use and Demand-based rate structures, have made intelligent demand management not just beneficial — but essential.
Fortunately, Georgia Power’s Super Saver Rate Plan (TOU-D) aligns perfectly with the Energy Sentry Demand Automation Computer.
After extensive testing across Georgia homes, Energy Sentry confirmed that when paired with the Super Saver TOU-D plan, the DAC consistently delivers impressive bill reductions — optimizing energy use during off-peak hours while preventing costly spikes during peak times.
How the Demand Automation Computer (DAC) Works
At its core, the Demand Automation Computer is a smart, automated demand management system. Instead of relying on manual adjustments or single-device controls, the DAC uses real-time monitoring and intelligent sequencing to limit peak energy demand automatically.
Here’s how it works:
- The DAC monitors your home’s electrical usage second by second.
- When high-demand loads (like air conditioning, heat pumps, water heaters, or clothes dryers) begin to overlap, the DAC briefly staggers them — ensuring total demand stays below your set threshold.
- This prevents the demand “spikes” that lead to higher utility bills under Time-of-Use and Demand-based rate plans.
Unlike conventional smart thermostats or home energy apps, the DAC takes a whole-home approach — managing multiple systems seamlessly in the background. The result: consistent comfort, lower costs, and hands-free savings.
Perfect for Georgia’s Energy Environment
Georgia’s landscape presents a unique challenge for renewable energy adoption. While solar energy has grown in popularity nationwide, Atlanta’s dense pine canopy and widespread shading have limited rooftop solar opportunities for many homeowners.
That’s why the DAC is a game-changer for Georgia. It delivers energy savings independent of solar power — allowing every homeowner, regardless of roof orientation or tree cover, to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
Pairing the DAC with the Super Saver TOU-D plan lets Georgia residents:
- Automatically reduce power use during expensive peak hours
- Shift loads to off-peak times for lower-cost energy
- Avoid demand spikes that trigger higher rates
- Enjoy comfort and control with zero manual effort
The result? Real, measurable savings month after month — even without solar panels.
A Proven Track Record You Can Trust
Energy Sentry’s 47-year history speaks for itself. With decades of innovation, field-proven results, and a steadfast commitment to quality, the company has become the nation’s leading provider of demand management systems for residential and small commercial use.
By the numbers:
- 47 years of continuous innovation and American manufacturing
- 35,000+ systems installed nationwide
- 25,000+ Arizona installs saving under APS and SRP demand plans
- 10,000+ installs across Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina
- Thousands of customers saving 10–30% on monthly energy costs
These results are backed by decades of engineering excellence, customer satisfaction, and proven reliability — not speculation or marketing hype.
Georgia Power + Energy Sentry: The Perfect Partnership
The Georgia Power Super Saver TOU-D plan rewards customers who use less energy during peak hours. But to truly maximize its potential, customers need precision — and that’s exactly what the Demand Automation Computerprovides.
The DAC ensures your home automatically adapts to Georgia Power’s rate schedule, keeping demand low when rates are highest. This synergy turns the Super Saver plan into a powerful savings tool — one that requires no manual intervention once installed.
In testing, Energy Sentry found that Georgia Power customers experienced some of the highest percentage savings yet, thanks to the DAC’s ability to maintain comfort while minimizing demand charges.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the Demand Automation Computer (DAC)?
The DAC is an intelligent energy management system that automatically limits peak electricity demand by controlling large electrical loads in real-time.
Q2: How does it work with Georgia Power’s Super Saver plan?
The DAC optimizes when your appliances run, helping you stay within low-demand periods defined by the Super Saver TOU-D plan — reducing your electric bill without any daily effort.
