Home Automation

Home automation systems seem like a vision of the future yet these systems are being effectively installed today.  Industry estimations suggest that residential home automation will be as common in the year 2015 as indoor plumbing is today.

So, just exactly what is home automation and why would you want to install such a system.  Well, the second question is the easiest to answer.  Home automation systems certainly enhance the quality of life but the real deal is that these systems save money on costly recurring utilities thereby reducing your family's carbon footprint.

HVAC - Home automation systems can be as simple as a programmable thermostat.  Many folks have realized that a good programmable thermostat can significantly reduce the energy expenses associated with environmental control.  You can take that a step further!   By raising the temperature of your hot water at peak times and lowering at times when you are unlikely to need large quantities of hot water you can really save a lot.   An electric water heater accounts for approximately $50 per month on the average home owners electric bill.  A forty percent savings here translates to $240 a year and you will never even notice that your water has fallen to 130 degrees at three in the morning!

LIGHTING - Automated regulation of exterior night lighting can produce further savings.  Just how many times have you left that night light on all night anyhow?  Same goes for the kids.  I'm sure you have the typical difficulty in getting them to turn off the lights in rooms they have left.   A home automation system can do the job for them...... saving you money!  Simple restriction of the illumination level of incandescent lamps to 90% makes no apparent difference in the brightness of the room but by employing this plan home wide enables a home owner to reduce their carbon footprint the equivalent to not driving your car for one whole month out of the year. WOW, how is that for going green?

LOCKS - Did you ever forget to lock the front door?  Ever need to let the maid in?  With automation gear you can lock or unlock any door at any time from your computer at the office, from your cell phone or from any touch panel in your home.  Remember that time your son forgot to take his key with him to school?  With automation you don't have to leave work early just to let him in!

APPLIANCES - What about that freezer and refrigerator.  Turning these appliances off for a few hours a day will make no difference in the safety of your food but it will lower your electric bill.  There are many other areas that make a home automation system attractive and these are just a few simple examples.  For expert assistance in developing a plan to meet your needs just e-mail us or give us a call.

ENTERTAINMENT ELECTRONICS - It's no secret that many family members feel challenged when it comes to controlling their home theater system or even just the TV and the DVD player.  With automation technology even Grandma can operate your system when she's over baby sitting without having to read the rocket science manual.
