Moving? Secure Your New Home (Or Take Us With You and Upgrade)
It’s the time of year where everyone’s deciding what to spend their tax refund on. This year the average refund is $1,949. That amount is down 8.7 percent from last year but still plenty of money to invest in your home. Before you purchase that new hot tub for your deck or new hardwood flooring, there’s a different home improvement trending now: smart home technology.
What is Smart Home Technology?
A smart home system is much more than a security system, although security is a primary component. Smart home security technology allows us to connect our smart devices to our home. This technology allows you to make your home more efficient, protect your family and belongings, save money, and control everything with just one app.
Many home insurance companies offer discounts for security systems that are professionally monitored. These insurance companies understand that the best smart home security systems work on a complex platform that detects security breaches and deters intruders.
With a smart home system, you can do things such as:
- Turn on the lights in your house while you are still in your car, so you’ll never have to enter a dark home again.
- Open the garage door as you pull in your driveway
- Control the temperature on your thermostat with your phone while you’re away from your home
- Install a video doorbell alarm so you can always see who is at your front door
- View your home from anywhere with a smart device through security cameras
- 24-hour home burglary and fire monitoring
