Build higher-performing, fully electric homes.
Engineered and tested in New Zealand, the Basis smart panel delivers what buyers actually value in their homes: energy control, cost savings, and the safest electrical panel available.
Elevate your brand.
A genuine point of difference buyers can see, touch and talk about. Maximum safety as standard, an industry-beating product warranty, and local Basis support ensuring that every install has a premium experience.
Hundreds back in your customers' pocket. Every year.
Most homeowners overpay their power retailer every year without realising. Basis ends that. Real-time insights, smart load control, and electricity retail plan switching all return real value to the family living in the home you built.
Built for your business, not just your build.
Every panel is factory-assembled and tested before delivery. Your electrician installs faster and hands over a higher-quality job on every home. A built-in meter streamlines the connection, with solar, battery and EV readiness out of the box.
Defer the upgrade your build doesn't need.
Modern homes are demanding more power than ever: solar, EV charging, heat pumps, induction. Without smart load management, that demand can force a costly network supply upgrade. Basis's smart load control balances peak demand across the existing supply, deferring or avoiding the upgrade entirely, saving you upfront on the project.

Hot water, heating and EV charging shift automatically to the cheapest hours. No daily effort. Just lower bills, on autopilot.

The app ranks every electricity retail plan in New Zealand against the home's actual usage, and shows buyers exactly how much they'd save by switching. No spreadsheets, no guesswork.
Catch issues before they become repairs.
