Three Ways it Pays to Move Forward with Home Automation

There is so much technology out there in the home automation world and many homeowners wonder: Is it worth it to install it? Keep reading to learn about three reasons that it pays to invest in home automation, then contact Sonner Electric at 661-728-0126 if you want a quote for adding automation to your home.

1. Home Automation Helps You Save Money

Many of the home automation systems you can install at your home will help you save money on utilities, water bills, etc. For example, a smart thermostat allows you to only heat or cool your home when you’re there. You can even change it from your phone.

The latest options are much better than older smart thermostats. For example, in the past, if you were going out of town you could set your thermostat to automatically turn the heat or cooling on the day you were coming home – but what if you decided to stay another two days? You’d be heating or cooling the house for days for no reason. With a truly automated system, you can turn it on and off with your phone so you would not have turned on the heating or cooling until you were actually coming home.

2. Home Automation Keeps Your Home More Secure

Another great advantage of installing home automation is that it helps to keep your home more secure. This goes well beyond the typical alarm system installation. While we can install a home alarm that will secure your home, there are automation options that are far superior. For example, a RING doorbell allows you to see who approaches your door from the safety of your phone. Don’t risk answer the door to someone dangerous – RING is better than any peephole you could install in your door.

You can also set up options that allow access to your home when you’re not there, in a safe and secure manner. One common example is an automated garage door. If your garage is attached to your home, you can let visitors in with a touch of a button by opening your garage door from anywhere. There are many other home automation options we can help with, just call Sonner Electric at 661-728-0126 for more information.

3. Home Automation Offers More Comfort for You

In addition to keeping you safe and saving you money, home automation is simply comfortable. Don’t spend precious minutes setting thermostats and turning off lights on your way out the door every morning – relax and take care of it with a few buttons on your phone. Say goodbye to the days of getting to work only to worry that you left your coffee pot on – you can set your system to automatically turn it off if you forget.

These are just a few of the options you can learn much more about options in home automation by contacting Sonner Electric at 661-728-0126.
