In this episode of Inside Buzz recorded live at CEDIA Expo/CIX 2025, Joe Piccirilli, CEO and founder of Rosewater Energy, shares his 50+ year journey through the AV and custom integration industry — and the critical insight that led him to redefine residential energy resilience.
From his early days building Sound Advice and distributing Crestron and Lutron, Piccirilli explains how recurring system failures all traced back to one overlooked issue: poor power quality. He breaks down why voltage sags —not surges — are the real threat to today’s microprocessor-driven homes, and why uninterrupted, “perfect power” is now foundational to luxury residences, safe rooms, healthcare applications and aging-in-place solutions.
