Leviton Load Center
The Leviton Load Center is a renowned residential electrical circuit breaker panel that offers contractors a safe, easy-to-install product and homeowners a user-friendly solution for home energy management. “Representing the heart of the home for powering devices, the Leviton Load Center is extremely approachable and helps homeowners understand what’s happening with their breaker boxes, such as if a GFCI has tripped, etc.,” shared Greg Rhoades, Leviton’s Director of Marketing for Smart and New Technology Products, who noted that the system is up to 25% faster for contractors to install than competing products.
“The Leviton Load Center’s modularity is one of its greatest features because it allows homeowners to start with traditional breakers, smart breakers, or a mix of both as they desire,” added Sydney Cheatham, Leviton’s Residential Marketing Specialist. “It’s a panel that homeowners can install and upgrade over time if they want to, so there’s no huge up-front investment. And this fall, Leviton is excited to introduce its new 400-amp Load Center, which is ideal for new- |

construction homes over 4,000 square feet and will support all of the standard and custom needs associated with the ongoing electrification movement.”
Leviton Smart Dimmers and Devices
“Whether a homeowner wants to install a timer or smart switch on their front porch so they can come home to a well-lit entryway or install our new electronic low-voltage dimmer for undercabinet, toe kick, accent, tape, recessed, track, or another residential lighting application, Leviton has it all,” Rhoades said. Among the company’s extensive array of solutions, “our new Decora Smart Outdoor Plug offers control of outdoor lighting and other loads around exterior spaces like yards, patios, and pool areas to safely and conveniently enable control of holiday string lights, inflatable decorations, and more.”
Electric Vehicle Charging
“Unlike many EV charging manufacturers in the market today which offer EV products only, Leviton offers robust EV charging products as well as a host of smart home offerings – all of which complement each other and can be readily integrated within and accessed via the My Leviton App to create a one-stop smart home ecosystem,” shared Will Lammey, Product Manager for Leviton’s EV Charging and Power Pedestal lines. “In addition to recently introducing the ability to schedule EV charging times (similar to scheduling the operation of lights across the home) through our EV Series Smart Home Plug-In, we now also have the ability to scale down amperage at the device at any point with the simple click of a button,” he said. “This feature allows homeowners to manage their power consumption and prevent breaker overload when using other appliances while charging.”
Lighting Controls
“Leviton’s broad range of dimmers, occupancy sensors, vacancy sensors, and timers do everything from controlling lights based on human occupancy to automatically switching
| an exhaust fan on or off in a bathroom based on humidity levels (via our Decora Humidity Sensor),” shared Jana Alvino, Leviton’s Senior Marketing Manager for Lighting Controls and Smart Products. “Our new DOS15 15-amp occupancy sensor can be used in a 3-way application with another DOS15 sensor -- an ideal configuration in spaces where two sensors are needed for the coverage area, such as an ‘L-shaped’ room where occupants want to trigger lights from multiple locations. And our newest line of countdown timers is available in 11 different models with 15-amp and 20-amp options, the latter of which can support two countdown timers in a 3-way application, allowing homeowners to control an exhaust fan in a bathroom from two different locations,” she said. “This line reduces installation time and cost and is ideal for homeowners who want the convenience of automation but aren’t ready to step up to smart devices.” |

Leviton Safety and Core Devices
Leviton’s extensive range of high-performing AFCIs and GFCIs provide fire and shock prevention for the home and family. “These devices are safety code requirements, but Leviton’s wide variety of solutions also incorporate the convenience of guidelights, audible alerts, and many other convenient and easy-to-use safety features,” said Janice Colmone, Leviton’s Marketing Specialist for Residential Safety Products. “Our GFCI with guidelight includes two LEDs, which provide a beneficial level of orientation lighting without using up an outlet in the bathroom or kitchen, while Leviton’s WiFi GFCI sends notifications directly to the user’s smart phone via the My Leviton app if their GFCI has tripped so that they can immediately address the situation, wherever they are.”
Leviton Structured Media
“Leviton’s Structured Media™ products house the cabling and data networks distributed to a house and represent the nerve center of the connected home,” said Nate Hull, Marketing Manager of Leviton’s Connected Home Networking Solutions. “We offer a variety of enclosure sizes to address users’ needs and these can be mounted in a number of locations to distribute internet, AV connectivity, security system connectivity, and more. Our systems represent an easy way to centralize all of the cabling and keep it neat, organized, and aesthetically pleasing,” he said. “In addition, our broad range of brackets, splitters for co-axial cables, distribution modules, and power supplies help manage items in the enclosures, and we continue to update products to meet the market’s evolving needs.”
The Overall Value Proposition for Distributors
The experts at Leviton confirm that the company’s whole-home innovations represent a great investment for end users, contractors, and distributors alike.
For example, “our sensors with ‘Green Sleeve’ circuitry can be installed with or without a neutral wire, offering contractors the ability to carry and install just one device regardless of the application they encounter at the home,” Alvino noted. “This translates to fewer SKUs that a distributor needs to carry because they can sell one device for two different applications. And whether homeowners use Leviton’s Smart EV Charger, Decora Smart products, Load Center products, or any other of our company’s smart solutions, they all tie together simply and seamlessly through the My Leviton App.”
In addition to the company’s high-performing and thoughtfully designed products tailored to the market and channel’s needs, Leviton has long taken great pride in investing in its distributor partners.
“Distributors love Leviton because we value strategic relationships with customers,” Rhoades confirmed. “We listen to distributors, design products for them, and build out a comprehensive and user-friendly product range focused on innovations that perform reliably, meet codes, and support contractors in the field. We also provide outstanding customer and technical support as well as step-by-step guides, but distributors and contractors can also always call or facetime us for in-person assistance,” he said. “Our accessibility goes a long way and channel members know that Leviton has their back.”
