CLIPSAL C-BUS ENERGY MANAGEMENT & METERING
Clipsal C-Bus is one of the smartest ways to see and cut the energy your home or building uses. DUKE Electrical Group set up C-Bus energy management and metering for Melbourne properties – measuring consumption, automating efficiency, and helping you make the most of solar and off-peak power.
C-Bus already saves energy through smart lighting and climate control, but with metering it goes further: measuring what you use, showing where it goes, and managing loads so you avoid waste and peak-demand costs. For homes with solar, batteries or EV charging, C-Bus can help coordinate high-draw loads to run when energy is cheapest and greenest. As long-time C-Bus and electrical specialists, we build it all into one system you can actually see and control.
What C-Bus energy management delivers
Visibility. Metering shows where your energy actually goes, so you can target waste instead of guessing.
Automatic efficiency. Lighting, climate and loads coordinate to cut consumption, and unnecessary loads switch off when spaces are empty.
Solar & EV smarts. Coordinate high-draw loads like hot water and EV charging to run on cheap or self-generated power.
See and cut your energy use with Clipsal C-Bus. Call DUKE Electrical Group on 1300 003 853 to set up C-Bus energy management and metering for your Melbourne home or building.

LOAD MANAGEMENT
C-Bus schedules and sheds non-essential loads to avoid waste and peak-demand costs – particularly valuable for larger homes and commercial sites.
SOLAR & EV COORDINATION
Coordinate hot water, pool pumps and EV charging to run on cheap off-peak or self-generated solar power, making the most of what you produce.
EFFICIENCY AT HOME & WORK
From family homes to commercial buildings, C-Bus turns energy from an invisible cost into something you can see, understand and reduce.
FAQ
What is Clipsal C-Bus energy management?
It uses C-Bus metering and automation to measure and reduce how a home or building uses energy. C-Bus shows where power goes, coordinates lighting and climate for efficiency, manages loads to avoid peak-demand costs, and can work with solar and EV charging.
Can C-Bus meter my energy use?
Yes. C-Bus can meter and monitor electricity use and present clear data, so you understand exactly where energy is going across your property and can act on it.
How does C-Bus reduce my energy bills?
Through smart lighting and climate control, load scheduling, and switching off unnecessary loads in empty spaces. With metering, you can see the impact and target the biggest savings.
Can C-Bus work with my solar and EV charger?
Yes. C-Bus can coordinate high-draw loads like hot water, pool pumps and EV charging to run on cheap off-peak or self-generated solar power, helping you make the most of what you produce.
Is energy management useful for commercial buildings?
Very. Commercial sites benefit most from load management, peak-demand control and detailed monitoring. See our C-Bus commercial page for building-scale control.
Do I need a switchboard upgrade for C-Bus metering?
Some projects benefit from switchboard work to add metering and control, others don’t. As licensed electricians and C-Bus specialists, we assess your existing setup and advise what’s actually needed.
Can I see my energy use on my phone?
With a Wiser gateway and the right setup, energy information and control can be available in the app alongside the rest of your C-Bus system.
Do you handle both the electrical and the C-Bus side?
Yes. DUKE Electrical Group are licensed electricians (REC 35838) and C-Bus specialists, so metering, load control and the electrical work are delivered by one accountable team.
