Your second home should tell you when something changes.
Circuit-level monitoring shows when essential systems such as the furnace, well pump, sump pump, and freezer are drawing power. Dedicated temperature and water sensors confirm the conditions that matter most. When something breaks its normal pattern, an alert can be sent to you or to someone you trust.
Quiet is the goal. You hear from the home only when something changes.

A second home can develop problems quietly
A furnace stops cycling during a February cold snap. A sump pump fails before the spring thaw. A freezer loses power. A well pump begins running when no one is using water.
In a home occupied year-round, someone may notice. In a second home that sits unoccupied for months at a time, the first sign may not appear until the damage is visible.
Many of these conditions create a recognizable electrical or sensor pattern. SAF-Integration monitors those patterns so a meaningful change does not have to remain unnoticed until the next visit.
Know what is happening without watching another app
Monitor the systems that matter
Important circuits are tracked individually rather than reduced to one whole-home number. Depending on the property, that may include the furnace, well pump, sump pump, freezer, water heater, hot tub, dock, and other essential loads.
Confirm important conditions
Dedicated sensors provide direct confirmation where electrical activity alone is not enough, including indoor temperature, freezer temperature, and water leaks.
Alert the right person
You decide who receives each alert. That may be you, a spouse, property manager, caretaker, assistant, trusted neighbor, or another person positioned to respond.

Two changes worth catching early
01
The February question
It is 8°F in Petoskey, and you are several hours away. Instead of wondering whether the heat is still on, you can see that the furnace ran recently and the indoor temperature is holding steady.
02
Unexpected water use
A well pump cycling repeatedly in an unoccupied home may mean water is going somewhere it should not. A change in runtime or frequency can be flagged before the condition becomes visible during the next visit.
What an alert looks like
No charts to interpret. Just a clear explanation of what changed and why it matters.
Aria · Home alert · 6:05 a.m.
The indoor temperature has fallen from 55°F to 49°F. The furnace circuit has not operated for three hours.
Aria · Home alert · 2:37 a.m.
Well-pump activity is 3.2 times its normal level for an unoccupied home. The increased activity began at 2:14 a.m.
These are representative alerts. Your alerts are tuned to your home, equipment, and preferred thresholds.
An alert is useful only when someone can act on it
Alerts are written in plain English and routed according to your preferences. When something needs to be checked locally, you have one Petoskey-based point of contact who already understands the systems being monitored.
SAF-Integration does not automatically receive or respond to every alert. Alert recipients and response arrangements are selected by the homeowner.

These capabilities depend on the equipment and information available at the property. We confirm what can be provided during the site review.
How it works
01
Review the home
We review the property, electrical panels, essential systems, and the conditions you want to understand. The initial site review is complimentary.
02
Install and configure
Any required in-panel or line-voltage work is performed by a licensed electrical contractor. SAF-Integration handles the monitoring, integration, configuration, and commissioning.
03
Learn and refine
During the first few weeks, the system establishes the home’s normal operating patterns. We then refine the labels, thresholds, recipients, and alerts.
What it costs
Pricing includes a one-time installation charge and a month-to-month monitoring and support plan.
The installation price depends on the number of panels, buildings, monitored circuits, and dedicated sensors. After the property has been reviewed, you receive a clear installation price before work begins.
You own the installed hardware and may cancel monitoring and support at any time.
Clear boundaries
Energy monitoring is an awareness and convenience service. It is not an alarm, life-safety, or UL-listed monitoring service and does not replace protections required by your insurer.
Every installation includes UPS backup for Aria and essential network equipment. An outage alert can be delivered only while the equipment sending it remains powered and internet connectivity remains available.
