HOME IMPROVEMENT Top 5 Reasons to make your home a Smart Home, now! Your house is most likely one of the largest investments in your life. It’s where you put countless time and effort into creating your one-of-a-kind sanctuary. Your family lives together here and will naturally evolve together here. Your house should evolve with them, don’t you think!? Here at W. Danley Electrical, we want to share with you some top reasons why we believe it should and how we can deliver that experience to you. What will help bring all of this into focus for you is first defining what a Smart Home is. A “smart home” is a residence equipped with numerous and diverse devices that automate tasks normally handled by you. Those devices can be activated by your phone, touch, and/or by voice! And each year, fun features and new devices come to market to help keep your home growing - Growing in safety, growing in efficiency, and growing in value. Here they are! 1. Saving Energy = Saving Money We are going to take this far beyond just new windows. The takeaway here is to save energy and money with an automated heating and air conditioning system. There are two components: First is the Smart Thermostats! Installing a smart thermostat can help you maximize energy-efficiency and minimize the amount you waste on heating or cooling empty rooms. Second is the new ductless heating and air conditioning systems, commonly referred to as mini splits. You have a small condenser with a fan outside and you have several small wall mounted units placed strategically around the house giving you optimal control over a room or area’s temperature. That’s a key money saver! Remember to consider pets or plants that require certain temperatures, even when you’re away. 2. Smarter Security and Safety Look like you’re home, even when you’re not. Your home stores all your life’s most valuable possessions. It needs to be simple, fast and reliable. That’s why we have partnered with the good folks at Ring. With their expanding product line, and our expert technicians, we can help you design a system to cover your whole property with motion activated and video surveillance. It’s all connected and controlled by your device. 3. Simplifying Everyday Regular Tasks Next time you’re home imagine that your home will illuminate the hallway or entry way for you as you enter, rather than fumbling in the dark for a switch. Don’t be frightened, those are just your smart lights! These essential pieces are typically the first smart products to be installed. They are affordable, immediately effective and fun! Keep your walls looking neat and sophisticated with sleek smart switches, panels, and dimmers. The kids don’t need to be worried about walking in the dark. Watch out! Energy-efficiency is perhaps the driving reason more and more people are investing in smart lighting. Did you know electricity accounts for 19% of all energy used worldwide? How about the average American electricity bill is $100 a month? Wouldn’t you agree any savings in this area are great for your bank account? Maybe you’ll use those savings to light up your exterior. 4. Make Your Home More Entertaining! Effortlessly keep guests entertained in a softly lit, charming atmosphere. The next night set the drama for a family movie night with dimmed shades of violet, or any other color with the click of button. A new twist on traditional family moments. Wouldn’t you like to create and control your own environment? Keep your home on your schedule and keep the money in your account. These are cool, fascinating products that fit any lifestyle. We can help define yours. 5. Invest Back into Your Home Remember that first part where we talked about your home evolving? Evolving in value was part of that. Smart Home features installed in your home could increase your home’s value by as much as 15% according to real estate experts. It’s your home, your family. Invest and build it into a place you don’t want to leave - Ever. We hope this helps open the conversation for some great reasons to make your home a smart home!
