Schneider Electric, a global leader in energy management, is bringing its Square D brand to The Home Depot: safe, reliable, future-ready electrical products backed by real, visible sustainability.

Through the Eco Actions platform, Schneider Electric and The Home Depot are partnering to bring those products, and the sustainability story behind them, to homeowners and Pros alike.

The Foundation of an Energy-Efficient Home

Today’s homes rely on more electrical equipment than ever, from multiple HVAC systems and smart home devices to the growing list of connected devices that keep a household running. It all starts at the electrical panel.

That’s why Square D load centers play a key role in an energy-efficient home, with surge protection adding an extra layer of safety for everything connected to it. Together, they protect the equipment homeowners already rely on and enable a home’s electrical infrastructure for what comes next: EV charging, solar, battery storage, heat pumps and backup power.

Square D whole-home surge protection helps protect major appliances, HVAC systems and electronics from damaging surges that standard power strips don’t cover, helping homeowners avoid the cost and waste of premature replacement. Plug-on neutral surge devices install directly into compatible Square D load centers, giving homeowners whole-home protection that works once installed. These products are UL 1449 listed, the safety standard for surge protective devices, and meet current NEC (National Electrical Code) requirements, giving Pros a code-ready, high-value recommendation.

As more homeowners make the shift to electric vehicles, Square D’s level 2 EV charger makes it easier to power that transition at home. With Smart Amp Load Management, the charger automatically works within a home’s existing electrical capacity, so homeowners can charge efficiently without overloading the panel, another way Square D helps homes stay ready for a more sustainable future.

A Foundation Built on Sustainability

The commitment to sustainability goes beyond the products. Schneider Electric’s sustainability strategy is guided by Impact 2030, the company’s roadmap connecting strategy, governance, culture and product decisions across their business. Today, Schneider Electric operates 195 Zero-CO2 sites and runs on 99 percent renewable electricity across its operations.

Sustainability on the Shelf

For Square D, sustainability shows up before a product ever reaches the shelf, starting with the packaging itself. Schneider Electric’s Whole Home Surge Protection Device packaging transitioned to recycled cardboard, eliminating more than 14 tons of single-use plastic and simplifying the retail assortment. The new packaging also uses a minimum of 50 percent recycled cardboard content in the U.S.

These are proof points homeowners can see on the shelf. For homeowners, it’s protection for the equipment they already own. For Pros, it’s a higher-value recommendation on every panel upgrade, remodel and EV charger install. For The Home Depot, it’s another way to offer customers sustainable product choices that support its circular economy goals.

A Legacy of Impact

Since 2018, Schneider Electric solutions and services have helped customers worldwide save and avoid 862 million tons of CO2, a legacy that starts in the same place every home does: the electrical panel. Partnering with The Home Depot through Eco Actions brings that legacy to homeowners and Pros alike, pairing safer, more reliable electrical products with a sustainability commitment that goes beyond the shelf.
