As technology develops at a lightning pace, devices get smaller and more functional, but there are also more of them to be found around your home. That means that your energy usage can quickly start to rise. Thankfully, smart home automation manufacturers, like Nest, are aware of their environmental impact and they’ve implemented easy-to-use, energy efficient features that can reduce your footprint and keep energy costs low in your Saginaw, Michigan residence. Read on to find out more about how smart technology can make your home more environmentally friendly.

The home theater of your dreams may be a dedicated private cinema that looks and feels like a multiplex – or it may be something completely different.  Whatever your vision, a custom-built entertainment system will create a destination for family and friends looking for the ultimate hangout.  Harbert Home Systems is an expert in hidden home technology and can customize your home theater/media room to your exact taste.

Imagine receiving an alert from your phone while you’re away from home that says your garage door is open, and then it gives you the option of closing it. Or imagine pressing a button as you leave the house and your AC shuts off, your lights go out, and your alarm system powers up. Then, when you return home, another button push brings up the lights you have selected for that time of day, turns on your music or queues your television (or home theater) to your DVR. Such progress is no longer limited to your imagination and such functionality and ease-of-use has made Control4 a preferred entry-level solution for smart home automation.
