There are many ways to increase the value of your home and homeowners are discovering that home technology is an easy way to achieve that. Smart technology can not only get you better returns on your home but it can also make your house more comfortable. Here are some of the great home technology features that you can add to your home this year.
Smart Appliances
Smart appliances come in all shapes and sizes. They can rage form smart ovens to washers that can regulate when they run. You should consider investing in smart appliances strategically. You don’t need to have smart appliances in every room in the house but you could consider having them just in the strategic rooms such as the bathroom and the kitchen.
Smart Security
This is another area that you could bring up to date with the latest technology. Smart security systems can automate your security system and allow you to use the latest technology. Homebuyers are willing to pay a premium for technology that keeps them safe. This means that homes installed with smart security systems are always a sure bet with home buyers. Some of these include retina scanning technology as well as facial recognition. Smart security can make the difference between selling your house at the price you desire and not selling at all.
Smart Lighting
Smart lighting systems are also a popular feature with homeowners. These sorts of systems allow homeowners to control their lights from their phones and other convenient options. Lighting systems could go on when someone walks into a room and go off when everyone leaves. They can also be automatically dimmed or brightened depending on pre-set mood lighting options that adjust many other features as well. You can also get systems that can be controlled by smart assistants such as Alexa or Siri which adds to the convenience.
Smart Heating
Heating and cooling are basic functions and nothing makes a home cooler than having the heating/cooling functions controlled by smart technology. By optimizing heating and cooling functions, you can save a ton in energy costs. For example, heating and cooling functions can be set to go off when everyone leaves the room. This assures you that the energy will not be wasted if someone forgets to turn it off. You can also control some of these functions by phone meaning that you can heat up your living room while you are heading home from work. This assures you of a nice cozy room by the time you arrive at home.
Smart Blinds
Blinds are useful not just for giving you privacy but can have major energy-saving functions as well. By using smart blinds, you can regulate how much sunlight gets into your house, meaning that you can control how hot or cold rooms get.
