Make room for right now
Keep essential services and your chosen comfort needs in view. Cooking dinner should not have to fit around an EV charger.
ENERGY COST OPTIMIZATION
A better energy plan.
Less for you to manage.
When should the car charge? Should home use solar now or save it? When is it worth making electricity and heat together? Endurous is designed to weigh those choices for you.
The aim: lower operating costs, with comfort, equipment limits and backup needs built into the plan.

One plan.
Updated as life changes.
Use now. Store for later.
Shift what can wait.
Schedule flexible useWithin the times you choose
Coordinate electricity and heatUse each where it helps most
Keep a backup marginFor the essentials you choose
A view of the intended system. Available actions depend on the equipment and services connected to your home.
LOOK AHEAD. MAKE A PLAN. KEEP CHECKING.
Tomorrow’s needs shape today’s decisions.
A load simply means something that uses energy, such as heating, cooking or charging a car. Some needs are immediate. Others have room to move.
- 01
Anticipate the day
Use available weather forecasts, expected solar output and household routines to estimate electricity and heat needs.
- 02
Compare the options
Plan when to buy, generate, use or store energy. Account for comfort, deadlines, reserves and equipment capacity.
- 03
Adjust to real life
Compare actual use and equipment response with the plan. Update it when the weather, prices or your needs change.
BALANCE THE WHOLE HOME
Everything does not need to run at once.
The plan is designed to coordinate flexible equipment, rather than letting each device follow its own schedule.
Move what can wait
Schedule compatible EV charging, water heating and other flexible loads within your deadlines. Stagger them where useful to avoid unnecessary peaks.
Respect the limits
Consider electrical service, inverter and device limits, battery charge levels and available heat storage. A plan must fit what the installed system can safely do.
Coordinated scheduling complements the installation’s electrical protection and safety controls. They remain in place as the foundation for safe operation.
YOUR ACTUAL RATE PLAN
Use the right price.
At the right time.
Endurous is designed to consider the cost of the whole decision, not just the cheapest hour on the bill.
Buy from the gridWhat will imported electricity cost?
Use or export solarWhat is the energy worth at home or on the grid?
Generate or storeWhat do fuel, losses and equipment use add?
If prices change by time of day
Move suitable tasks to lower-cost periods when the saving still makes sense after storage losses, extra heating or cooling, and equipment use. Your comfort limits and completion times stay part of the decision.
If you pay a flat electricity rate
Moving a task to another hour may not lower its cost. The opportunities may instead be reducing waste, matching use to solar production or coordinating equipment more efficiently.
If your bill includes demand charges
Some tariffs charge for the highest measured power draw over a billing interval. Where this applies, spreading flexible loads out may help reduce that peak. The exact tariff and measurement rules matter.
If you can export electricity
Compare the credit for exporting surplus electricity with its value for use at home, battery charging or heat storage. Export permissions, limits and settlement rules must be included. Using every unit of solar at home is not automatically the lowest-cost choice.
What else belongs in the cost?
Fuel, conversion and storage losses, battery wear, maintenance and start-up costs can change the best option. Fixed utility charges generally remain. Equipment purchases, installation and financing belong in the separate project-cost review.
ELECTRICITY AND USEFUL HEAT
Two forms of energy. One household plan.
Manage the electricityCompare grid use, solar, stored power and flexible charging. 
Prepare useful warmthCoordinate heat pumps and suitable thermal storage around demand. 
Bring it back to daily lifeMake choices around comfort, readiness and what the home needs next.
Concept illustrations show how equipment can work together. The setup for each home is developed around its needs.
ELECTRICITY AND HEAT, PLANNED TOGETHER
Make useful energy.
Give it a useful job.
Electricity and heat serve different needs. Endurous is designed to account for both, so a saving on one side does not create a bigger cost on the other.
Solar and stored electricity
Compare using solar directly, charging a battery or exporting it. Allow for expected production, battery losses, capacity and the reserve you want to keep.
Heating and stored warmth
Coordinate heat pumps, hot water and suitable thermal storage. A heat store holds warmth for later use. Account for weather, equipment efficiency, heat loss and comfort limits.
On-site generation
For a suitable installation, compare grid power with electricity from a generator, micro combined heat and power unit or fuel cell. Include fuel, maintenance and operating limits.
WHEN ONE SOURCE CAN DO TWO JOBS
Electricity for home.
Useful heat for water or rooms.
A micro combined heat and power unit (mCHP) produces electricity and captures heat for use on site. Some solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems can also provide recoverable heat.
ElectricitySupply household loads or suitable storage.
Recovered heatMeet a heating need or fill suitable thermal storage.
Running a unit is not automatically economical. The plan should count recovered heat only when it can be used or stored usefully. A full heat store, low heat demand, fuel cost or start-up constraints can change the decision. These technologies are optional and require a property-specific suitability review.
AN EXAMPLE DAY
The plan changes.
You get on with your day.
Imagine a home with solar, a battery, flexible EV charging and hot-water storage, on a rate plan with higher evening prices.
Morning
Prepare for the day
Meet breakfast and hot-water needs. Look ahead at expected sunshine, evening demand and the car’s next departure.
Midday
Put available solar to work
Compare serving current loads, charging a battery, preparing hot water or exporting surplus electricity.
Evening
Ease the expensive period
Where evening grid rates are higher, use suitable stored energy and defer flexible charging while keeping comfort and reserves in view.
Overnight
Get ready for tomorrow
Where overnight energy is cheaper, schedule remaining charging or heating if the full cost and next day’s needs make it worthwhile.
An illustrative sequence, not a simulation or a recommended schedule. Actual timing depends on your rate plan, equipment, weather and household needs.
Less sun than expected? Plans can change.
The intended system updates its forecast and schedule using available readings. It can reconsider charging, grid use or suitable on-site generation while protecting your chosen priorities.
YOUR PRIORITIES STILL COME FIRST
Lower costs.
A home that is ready.
You choose comfort ranges, when the car needs to be ready and which essentials matter during an interruption. The plan works within those boundaries.
What if an outage is more likely?
Where reliable information is available, the plan may preserve or prepare more electrical and thermal reserves. Better preparedness can mean buying extra energy or passing up a short-term saving. Your priorities help guide that tradeoff.
Can I change the plan?
The intended experience includes updating preferences and using supported manual overrides. If you need the car sooner or want a different temperature, the system should replan around the change.
How does it check equipment performance?
Compare measured energy use, heat response and equipment behavior with expected performance. Repeated differences can prompt an updated estimate or a notice to review the equipment. The goal is to spot signs of potential equipment failure early, alert you and help arrange a service call with your approval.
How much could my home save?
That needs your bills, tariff, equipment and a property-specific assessment. Validated simulation can compare candidate configurations and operating schedules before investment. Start with the Home Planner, explore an illustrative energy scenario and register interest in a future property-specific simulation.
