Energy Savings and Home Automation

A Connection Between Energy Savings and Home Automation?

Home automation systems are being developed and designed to give increased energy savings to homeowners. In fact, having a smart home with home automation features will make your house much more energy efficient than homes that are not automated. At ATP Alarms, we see a connection between energy savings and home automation and now its never been more affordable.

With the rising prices of common utilities such as electricity, most homeowners are looking for ways to cut down on monthly costs , such as heating and air conditioning bills. One way to do this is to make sure that their home energy consumption is optimized. Another reason that residents look for energy efficient features in home automation systems is that it helps reduce the environmental impact of high energy consumption. When every little bit counts, home automation systems can help in a big way .

How can you save on utility costs with home automation?

This question can be best answered by asking your family, friends, or even yourself about the number of times you have left home to go to work or run an errand and forgotten to adjust the air-conditioning unit or heating system, left lights on or a window open? How much energy is wasted every day in thousands of homes around the U.S.? How much money goes out the window simply by forgetting to switch off energy-consuming devices and appliances when not in use?

Light sensors , automatic window shades , thermostat profiles , window and door monitors are just a few of the ways to make your home into a smart home. Automation of devices not only saves you money, but can save you time. Not having to open and close window shades, adjust the thermostat, turning on and off lights all saves you time, which is very important to most people. Because that is more time you can spend with your loved ones.

With a home automation system , everything can be programmed to make your home as energy efficient as possible. Coming home from work to an ideal environment not only saves you time and money, but makes your return even more comfortable. By connecting your home appliances and devices with an app on your smartphone, you can have your house temperature set to the exact degree that is right for you, when coming home from a long day at work

Don’t sacrifice your comfort or time waiting for your house to heat up or cool down after you have arrived. Set it up to adjust right before your arrival or if you’re running late, you can simply adjust the timing from your smartphone.

What is the potential for home automation and energy savings?

It is estimated that in the year 2015, the home automation industry will grow to a $6 billion industry in the United States alone.

How Do Alarms Communicate?

By Rence Coassin • November 23, 2020
Security alarms can communicate via internet (hardwired or WiFi depending on the system), phone line, or cellular. Often security alarms have two communication paths—one that is primary and one that is backup. ATP Alarms encourages all customers to have a back up form of communication in the event the primary fails.
