SMART HOME APLIANCES

5 Reasons to Use Smart Home Appliances

Take a look at some of the latest tools designed to streamline your home life:

Smart Security: As technology improves, home safety does too. Affordable security technology is making houses safer, whether you’re at home or away. This includes motion sensors, automatic lighting, doorbells with cameras and smart locks that connect to your phone.

Voice and Motion Activation: Touchless faucets aren't just for commercial buildings. Having them in your home can make things cleaner and easier. And you can have your smart assistant turn on the ceiling fan or play your favorite podcast with just a few words. 

Green Technology: One of the most notable benefits of smart home technology is its energy efficiency. LED lights help you save on power usage and smart blinds block the summer sun with little effort on your part. This technology is better for the planet and your wallet.

Practical Efficiency: Even refrigerators and laundry appliances have gotten smart upgrades. You can get alerts to your phone when your laundry is done. Or view the inside of your fridge while you’re at the store to know what ingredients you’re missing.

Centralized Control: Smart tech often allows for remote, centralized control of multiple appliances. You can power on your lights, music, alarm, thermostat, and much more through your smartphone or home assistant.

Smart technology is available for so many purposes. You can choose a smart home with advanced fixtures, or just have a few smart appliances around the house.

Create a Home Maintenance Checklist

 

Your vehicle requires routine maintenance to run smoothly, and the same goes for your house. Without service reminders, however, it can be easy to forget to tend to all the systems that keep your house fully functioning. Fortunately, you can create a simple annual maintenance checklist to properly care for your home and prevent potential issues from becoming major problems. Start by making a list of each task you'll need to complete over the coming year. Make sure your yearly home inspection includes all major systems (HVAC, electrical, and plumbing), the interior and exterior of your home, water and septic tanks, doors and windows, and the attic or basement if applicable. When that's done, organize the list according to how often each item needs to be checked or maintained and set reminders accordingly. Your home maintenance checklist might start to look similar to this: Monthly Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Change air filters in the heating and air conditioning system. Clean range hood filters to avoid possible grease fires. Trim back any shrubbery or plant growth around the outdoor HVAC unit by at least 18 inches. Quarterly Check and wipe down sliding doors and window tracks. Replace batteries in smoke detectors. Test garage door and grease tracks as needed. Semiannually Clear gutters of spring and fall foliage. Power wash windows and siding. Schedule seasonal service of the HVAC system before summer and winter. Annually Inspect and insulate pipes to protect them from freezing. Trim trees and shrubs away from the home's exterior. Touch up exterior paint and check for wood rot or water damage. Check grouting in the kitchen and bathroom and repair if necessary. A home maintenance checklist will make it easier for you to manage the upkeep of your house. It can also help you catch minor issues before they become costly home repairs.

I hope you are having a great day!
