Building

a new home

A Pro is the way to go

When designed and installed properly by a trained, knowledgeable technician, an automation system can perform some amazing feats.

Much like electricity, plumbing, and heating and cooling, a complete smart home is not a DIY project. With individual “smart” products that are added to your home, the more complexity you will introduce because they simply don’t talk or listen to one another. In order to get a seamless, fully integrated smart home system, you’ll want to hire an experienced and well-trained installer. Professionals give you confidence that your system is expertly designed, functions on a robust network, and features personalized experiences in tune with how you live.

Why hire a Pro?

Having your system professionally installed means you’re getting dealers with years of experience, hands-on training, and access to our award-winning tech support team. They are armed with the knowledge that delivers on your smart home dream.

Tailored for You

Missing from a DIY system will be the customization and scalability you get from a professionally installed home automation system. A professionally installed smart home system is tailored to perform precisely the way you want it to. Then after the initial install, personalization gives you the power to change or modify your system as desired. You can adjust and fine-tune many of the features of your system to match exactly what you need without the help of a dealer.

Reliability guaranteed

Even though your home automation system is built to last, from time to time, technology needs a little extra TLC or updating to stay fresh and always work reliably. The wireless network in your home might need to be tweaked or a wire may need to be routed to an area that’s difficult to reach. A pro has the tools, knowledge, and training to guarantee that your home automation system will perform optimally. And should you ever run into a glitch—even months or years after the system has been installed—a pro is there to help.

Get inspired

When turning your home into a smart home, it’s important to work with someone with experience who can help you discover the best solution and possibilities in your own home. Shop around and see what dealers offer a showroom or the ability to see previous projects so you can gather inspiration and confidence. Incorporated into our showroom are working examples of home technology, which have been made to look and function just like spaces in your own home. This paints a vivid and realistic picture of what it’s like to live with and benefit from home automation.
