Air Conditioning
As we write, it will be over 100 degrees every day this week in Henderson. AC is not an option here—it’s a necessity!
Still, you can save energy while keeping your home cool by automating your AC to follow your routine. Through your smart system app, you can set preferred temperatures for different times of the day, ensuring that your home stays comfortable when you're present and conserving energy when you're away. You can even control your air conditioning remotely, so before you drive home from work, you can turn on the system so the house is cool for you. That way, you won’t have to leave it on in an empty house, saving additional energy.
Ceiling Fans & Motorized Shades
Henderson's desert climate demands an efficient cooling system. Smart home automation allows you to control ceiling fans and motorized window shades effortlessly. During hot days, schedule your ceiling fans to run at the ideal speed, promoting air circulation that helps maintain a comfortable temperature without overloading your AC system. Motorized shades can be programmed to close during the hottest parts of the day, preventing unwanted heat from entering your living spaces. You may be able to keep your AC system a few degrees higher, thus saving energy each day.
Smart Lighting Solutions
Lighting accounts for a significant portion of a household's energy consumption. With smart home systems, you can create lighting schedules that align with natural daylight patterns. Set your smart lights to dim or turn off automatically when a room is unoccupied, minimizing energy usage. Plus, LED lighting options further enhance your eco-friendly efforts by consuming less energy and lasting longer than incandescent and CFL bulbs.
Occupancy Sensors
Installing occupancy sensors is a strategic move toward energy efficiency. These sensors detect motion and occupancy in different areas of your home, ensuring that lights and other technologies are only on when needed. Whether you're moving from room to room or stepping into a hallway, the lights will illuminate as you approach and gently dim when you leave. This smart solution drastically reduces unnecessary energy consumption and extends the lifespan of your lighting fixtures.
Energy Management
You can take efficiency even further with an energy management system. We’ll connect your electrical panel to the system, so you can review which appliances and areas of the house use the most energy. If you have solar panels installed, you can direct solar energy into a battery storage system, then choose where that stored power should go. Home automation puts energy control into your hands!
