Your Home, Intelligently
Wired from the Start
CMB Electric combines a SPAN smart electrical panel with Brilliant touchscreen controls into a single, code-compliant installation — one crew, one permit, one inspection.
Two Systems. One Complete Home.
Most smart home setups treat the electrical panel and wall controls as separate afterthoughts. CMB integrates them into a single engineered system from day one.
SPAN Smart Panel
Replaces your standard electrical panel with a fully intelligent hub. Every circuit is individually monitored, controllable from your phone, and ready for whatever you add next — EV charger, heat pump, backup battery.
- Circuit-level energy monitoring, real-time via SPAN Home App
- PowerUp load management — add major appliances without a service upgrade
- Configurable outage prioritization — keep the fridge and the EV running
- Compatible with Tesla Powerwall, FranklinWH, solar inverters
- UL 3141 certified — required under the 2026 NEC for Power Control Systems
- 10-year warranty (activated only through authorized installer)
Brilliant Smart Controls
Replaces standard light switches with touchscreen control panels that operate every smart system in your home — without an app, a hub, or any programming skills.
- Touchscreen panels in 1–4 gang sizes (fits any standard box, no rewiring)
- Built-in Alexa for voice control in every room
- Controls lighting, climate, locks, music, cameras, and scenes
- Integrates with Nest, Ring, Sonos, Philips Hue, Kwikset, Ecobee, and more
- Smart dimmer switches with motion detection and multi-way circuit support
- Full home configured in under an hour — no custom programming
Why the certification matters: The 2026 NEC requires UL 3141 certification for Power Control Systems like SPAN. As a Master Electrician and Mike Holt Platinum Certified NEC instructor, CMB Electric installs these systems to current code — not just manufacturer spec. Every job is permitted and inspected.
The CMB Smart Home Package
Everything handled under one contract. No coordinating separate contractors, no mismatched permits, no finger-pointing if something doesn't work.
Site Assessment
We evaluate your existing service, panel location, and load profile before recommending the right SPAN panel size and Brilliant layout for your home.
SPAN Panel Installation
Full panel swap, all circuits landed and labeled in the SPAN app, PowerUp configured. Typically 3–8 hours. Power restored same day.
Brilliant Control Install
Touchscreen panels swapped in at selected locations. Smart dimmers throughout. All devices paired and scenes configured before we leave.
EV Charger Ready
SPAN's PowerUp means your 100A or 150A service can support a Level 2 EV charger today — without a utility service upgrade. We stub-out the circuit during the panel install.
Permit & Inspection
We pull the permit, coordinate with the AHJ, and attend the inspection. Every SPAN install in Montana requires a licensed electrician — that's us.
App Setup & Walkthrough
We configure the SPAN Home App and Brilliant app on your devices and walk every household member through the system before we close the tailgate.
Stack the Savings
Federal tax credits significantly reduce the net cost of this installation. When combined with solar or battery storage, the math gets even better.
Federal tax credit for qualifying electrical panel upgrades. Applied directly against your federal tax bill — not a deduction.
When SPAN is installed as part of a solar or battery storage project, the entire installation qualifies for the 30% ITC — potentially thousands back.
Montana utility rebate programs continue to evolve. We stay current and document every project for maximum incentive capture.
* Tax credit eligibility depends on individual circumstances. Consult a qualified tax professional. CMB Electric provides documentation to support your filing.
Right for Your Project
New Construction
Building with Copper Mountain Builders or another local GC? Install SPAN and Brilliant at rough-in and finish — zero extra mobilization, and the home is fully smart on move-in day.
Panel Upgrade / Service Work
If your panel is aging out or you need to upgrade service for an addition or EV charger, replace it with SPAN instead of a standard panel for a fraction more cost and a generation more capability.
Solar + Battery Installs
SPAN is out-of-the-box compatible with major solar inverters and battery systems. If you're adding Powerwall or FranklinWH, SPAN is the panel that makes it work the way it should.
Smart Home Retrofits
Already have Nest, Ring, or Sonos scattered around the house and tired of three different apps? Brilliant unifies everything behind one touchscreen on every wall.
Why CMB Electric
We're not a smart home company that learned to pull permits. We're a licensed electrical contractor with deep NEC expertise that added smart home certification because our customers kept asking. That means every installation is engineered to code, not just to the instruction sheet — and it passes inspection the first time.
