Benefits of Home Automation and Alarm Services

Home automation, complete with alarm monitoring, is a way of putting you in complete control of the appliances and systems in your house. From anywhere in the world, using a smartphone app or tablet, you can set the thermostat, lock or unlock doors, turn lights on or off, check your surveillance cameras, and do many other things to keep your home and family safe.

So, is it really worth the cost to have a home automation system installed in your home? Most security experts would say it is, and here are just a few of the benefits home automation provides.

Four Great Benefits of Professional Installation

1. Security – This is probably the single greatest benefit of home automation. With a swipe or tap of your finger, you can turn on lights either inside or outside your home to deny burglars any hiding place. If you’re not home, you can have lights on in certain rooms to create the illusion that you’re there. And with security cameras providing video surveillance, along with door sensors, you can keep constant watch over your home from any location.

You also don’t need to find a hiding place for that extra key. All controls, including locks, are at the tip of your finger.

2. Energy efficiency and savings – With home automation you can remotely power appliances and systems on and off when they’re not in use, saving you a lot of money on your monthly utility bills.

3. Year around comfort and convenience – With home automation you don’t have to worry about coming home to a sweltering house in summer or a freezing one in winter. You also don’t have to keep the air conditioner or furnace running full blast when no one’s home. No matter your location, you can reset the thermostat and return to a comfortable home, whatever the outside temperature happens to be.

4. Complete peace of mind – With home automation many of yesterday’s worries are completely eliminated. You no longer have to worry about whether you locked the front door, turned off the lights or changed the thermostat. All those things can be checked on and controlled from your phone or tablet. With home automation, you always know and always control what’s going on in your home, and the peace of mind that comes with that awareness is priceless.
