Once your remodel is completed by Country Creek Buildes, it's now time to add SMART Technology to that room, making life easier.
Today’s home technology options help with energy efficiency, security, and comfort and are conveniently controlled through mobile phone apps.
The thermostat is one of the first changes homeowners make when changing to a smart home and is the most logical step since every home has one. Over the last couple of years, more people have been adding this technology to their homes with the increase of in-home Wi-Fi and smartphones with apps to control these technologies. The options to control what’s cooled, what’s heated, and when give homeowners the convenience of controlling their comfort.
The image of being away from home all day on a frigidly cold day; you can turn down the heat slightly to save on energy but use your phone and the app to increase the heat to a comfortable temperature while on the way home. You will walk into a nice toasty home instead of a cold one. How awesome is that?
When planning your basement remodel with Country Creek Builders, there are many options for creating an area dedicated to an in-home theater. Country Creek Builders’ in-house design team can help you make that space a reality.
Once that has been figured out, technology now comes into play. Larger flat-screen TVs are very popular; however, the speaker systems don’t always provide the sound quality homeowners want. There are many options for creating a cinema atmosphere.
One option to consider is placing soundbars. They provide surround sound; everything you need is in one box. Imagine sitting in a movie theater-like atmosphere from the comfort of your home! Buy a popcorn-making machine; then it would have that movie theater feel.
Homeowners always have a list of items they want to change for a kitchen remodel; however, one of the main changes is creating a kitchen full of technological appliances and fancy gadgets. Kitchens are gathering places where friends and family mingle, so who wouldn’t want appliances that do things with the touch of a remote or verbal command?
Homeowners can choose from many price ranges for smart appliances and gadgets. Some refrigerators have a touchscreen, cameras to see inside, and a voice command shopping list. These are some higher-end appliances that could add to their wish list. Who wouldn’t want to voice command a faucet that can change the water temperature?
Home security had come a long way when most people had hard-wired systems and keypads when entering or leaving their homes. Now homeowners can use their smartphones to turn off and on the system, check inside the house via video, and ensure their garage door is closed. These new security systems give homeowners peace of mind even when they are not at home.
With so many different technology options on the market, it is important to research exactly what you want before installing any device. Make sure it does everything you want and creates the easy lifestyle you intended.
