Home Smart Home

More homeowners are embracing technology to save energy, thus saving money. Lets look at smart homes. A smart home not only reduces energy costs; it greatly increases your family’s comfort and safety. Just imagine leaving your home in the evening. You place your system in "away" mode and your interior lights gradually turn off, your exterior lights automatically turn on to show you the way out and your thermostat is placed in conservation mode awaiting your return. Or imagine reviewing via the web who has been in your home, and when they arrived/departed (Having two teenaged daughters, I love this feature) You can monitor carbon monoxide, freezing, water leaks. Minimize your consumption of electricity and heating fuels, lights are automatically turned off when not needed. Be notified via page/email/phone when children arrive home. The possibilities are endless! I won’t get into the luxury & convenience the entertainment capabilities have to offer. The bottom line is, a smart home saves you money and enhances your lifestyle. Having to live through Alberta’s long cold winters I say… bring my home to life!
