Published On: June 30, 2016|Categories: Blog, Home Improvements|

Why stop at your phone when it comes to smart technology? Smart home features are making life easier and more enjoyable for homeowners every year. Whether you’ve decided to update your new home or are looking for ways to impress prospective homebuyers, look to these high-tech home solutions to modernize your day-to-day living.

Smart Thermostats

Aside from just being really cool, smart thermostats are also a great way to reduce your carbon footprint and save on heating and cooling costs. Programmable thermostats are handy, but they have their limits. By remotely controlling your thermostat with your smartphone, you can come home to cool comfort without wastefully cooling or heating an empty home.

Unexpected overnight trip? Set your thermostat to an energy saving temperature until a couple hours before you plan to arrive at home. Leaving work at lunch? Reprogram the timer on your air conditioning so the house will be comfortable when you get there.

Touchless Kitchen and Bath Faucets

Touchless faucets never fail to impress prospective homebuyers. Imagine being able to wash your germy hands without leaving raw chicken juice on the faucet handle. The health benefits and simple convenience of touch-free faucets can’t be overstated.

Smart Surveillance Systems

From home security to video doorbells, home surveillance has never been more inexpensive or easy to install. An array of security and surveillance options awaits homeowners today, and many offer full smartphone integration. You can see who is at the door now, who stopped by in your absence, or even check on the family pets while you’re at work.
