Know Where Your Power Is Going

Power Monitoring That Finds Waste, Problems & Opportunities

ESCOUT monitors hot water, refrigeration, HVAC, pumps, solar and other major electrical loads. This gives businesses and farms a clear picture of where their power is being used.

What ESCOUT Monitors

We Monitor Your Power. You See What's Really Happening.

ESCOUT is installed at your main switchboard and on the loads that matter, so you see what each part of your operation is actually using, not just a monthly total on your power bill.

Total Site Power

Your whole supply tracked hour by hour, including peak demand and overnight base load.

Hot Water

When your cylinder heats, how long it runs and what it actually costs you.

Refrigeration

Run hours, cycling behaviour and performance drift in vats, chillers and cool rooms.

HVAC

How hard your heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems are working.

Pumps

Whether vacuum, irrigation, water and process pumps are running when they should, and when they shouldn't.

Solar Generation & Export

What your system generates, what you use on site and what you're giving away to the grid.

Plant & Equipment

Individual machines monitored separately, so you can see each one's behaviour.

Measured with real monitoring hardware on your electrical system, not estimated from a monthly power bill.

How It Works

Simple, From Day One

01

Monitor

We install monitoring on your main supply and important electrical loads.

02

Analyse

ESCOUT tracks when equipment runs, how much power it uses and how its performance changes.

03

Identify

We identify unnecessary operation, unusual consumption, peak demand, poor solar utilisation and potential equipment problems.

04

Improve

Because ESCOUT is backed by 2E Electrical, we can recommend practical electrical changes rather than simply handing over another dashboard.

The Detail That Costs You Money

Problems ESCOUT Can Find

Power monitoring surfaces the things that quietly push your bill up, and gives you the evidence to do something about them.

Equipment Running When It Shouldn't

Loads left on overnight, between shifts or over weekends that nobody planned for.

Excessive Hot-Water Energy Use

Cylinders reheating outside their schedule, or heating harder than they need to.

Refrigeration Operating Inefficiently

Long run hours, excessive cycling or performance drifting over time.

Unexpected Overnight Loads

A 3am base load that shouldn't be there, and nobody noticing.

High Peak Demand

Loads stacking up at the same time and driving up your demand charges.

Poor Solar Self-Consumption

Exporting your solar cheaply while buying power back at retail rates.

Solar Exporting While Loads Could Run

Sending solar to the grid while hot water or pumps could be using it for free.

Equipment Cycling Excessively

Short-cycling plant that wastes energy and wears out faster.

Changes In Power Consumption

Equipment drawing more than it used to, often the first sign of a developing problem.

Unbalanced Or Unusual Loads

Phases loaded unevenly, or electrical behaviour that isn't normal for your site.

Load-Shifting Opportunities

Loads that could run in cheaper or solar-rich periods with no downside.

Power monitoring identifies unusual behaviour and opportunities for investigation. It doesn't automatically diagnose every electrical or mechanical fault. When something needs a closer look, 2E Electrical can investigate on site.

Who We Help

Power Monitoring For New Zealand Businesses

Different operations, one service. ESCOUT monitors where your power goes, and 2E Electrical helps you do something about it.

Dairy Farms

Cut waste in hot water, cooling and pumps. Use real data to back smarter spending.

Childcare & Education

Track room temps, humidity and HVAC performance. Keep kids comfortable and cut energy you don't need.

Aged Care Facilities

Keep conditions steady for residents. Watch energy across care and operational areas.

Commercial Buildings

See where power goes. Understand HVAC performance and how efficiently your building runs.

Industrial Sites

Watch your high-demand gear. Find inefficiencies and back maintenance calls with real data.

See Where the Power Is Going

ESCOUT records site and circuit-level energy use throughout the day. This lets us see when demand occurs, identify peak loads and compare how equipment operates over time.

Monitor More Than Just Power

ESCOUT can monitor hot-water temperatures alongside electrical consumption. This shows when stored water temperature falls, how quickly the system recovers and whether heating is occurring at the right time.

By comparing temperature and power data, we can better understand how the hot-water system is actually operating and identify opportunities to improve control and energy use.

The ESCOUT Difference

More Than an Energy Dashboard

ESCOUT combines energy monitoring with real electrical knowledge.

Data is reviewed in the context of how the equipment and electrical system actually operate. When we identify an issue, 2E Electrical can investigate and provide practical solutions.

We aren't simply providing customers with software and expecting them to interpret the data themselves.

Data Reviewed With Electrical Knowledge

Your loads are interpreted by people who understand how the equipment actually works.

Issues Investigated On Site

When monitoring flags something, 2E Electrical can send an electrician to check it out.

Practical Changes, Not Just Reports

Recommendations that a registered electrician can actually implement.

Who's Behind ESCOUT

ESCOUT Energy Monitoring by 2E Electrical

Data Is Only Part of the Picture

ESCOUT combines detailed monitoring with practical electrical knowledge. When the data shows something unusual, our electricians can investigate the electrical system, equipment and controls to understand what is actually happening.

From monitoring to practical solutions

ESCOUT is developed and supported by 2E Electrical. That means we can go beyond identifying an opportunity. Where electrical changes are required, we have the people and experience to implement them.

Get Started

Request a Power Monitoring Assessment

Every site is different.

An ESCOUT power monitoring assessment shows where your power is going, where waste is hiding and where you can improve. From there, continuous monitoring helps you make better day-to-day decisions. Whether you run a farm, childcare centre, commercial building or industrial site, ESCOUT gives you the numbers to decide.
