Our Smart Home System ServiceNew Title
At Snowik, we have a wide range of services that we can offer our customers.
From performing regular handyman jobs to fitting brand new kitchens and bathrooms, no job is too big or too small for our team.
One of the services that we can provide that not all London property maintenance teams can, is repairs and installation of smart home systems.
These have been growing in popularity in recent years, and there are plenty of reasons why.
THE BENEFITS OF A SMART HOME SYSTEM
It can Add Value to Your Home
A smart home isn’t just great for the user, but it can also add plenty of value onto your home.
In fact, a study found that 86% of millennials would pay more for a connected home.
That’s a huge number of people willing to pay higher for a home with a smart system already set up.
While the initial outlay can be costly, installing a smart home system to your property should be seen as a great investment.
It Saves energy
The beauty of a smart home system is that you don’t need to waste any electricity. Systems like Lutron, have mechanisms that allow you to dim lights so as not to use so much energy and even sensors that turn off the lights when no one is in the room.
Over £4 billion is spent in the UK on electricity that is used when lights have been left on, and the average yearly cost for someone who regularly leaves lights on is a whopping £838.66.
That’s a lot of money that can be saved just by having a system that will turn them off for you.
It is Convenient
What is better than having complete control of many electrical functions of your home, without having to move off the sofa?
Through handheld devices and applications, you can perform actions such as dimming lights, turning up the heating, and much more.
Want a warm, lit-up house when you get in after a long day at work? With a smart home system, this is possible in a few taps of your phone or tablet.
Snowik’s Smart Home Systems
Now you know the many great features that smart home systems can offer, it’s time to discuss just how Snowik can help with the installation, repairs, and resetting of your system.
Let’s quickly run through just what these contain.
Installation
Installing a smart home system isn’t easy.
There are often many different trades involved in attaching the system to all of the necessary applications.
For example, if you want your system to work with your boiler, you will need a plumber. To attach it to things such as lighting and speakers, you will need to find an electrician.
At Snowik, we have a team of engineers who can cover all of these trades and more, making us a one-stop-shop for your London smart home system installation.
Repairs
Things break down.
While regular maintenance can certainly prolong the life of an appliance and keep it running smoothly for much longer, there’s no guarantee that one day things won’t go wrong.
What is important when you do have a breakdown is that you have a reactive maintenance team who can send a tradesman to you immediately.
If your system is stopping your lights or boiler from working, this needs to be fixed quickly, so having a team who can provide the needed service straight away can be a big plus.
Resetting
When you move into a home that already has a smart home system set up, it may need resetting.
This is the process of removing all of the data and automations that are already attached to the device.
While some home set-ups are fine, some people may have the lights coming on at 6 AM for an early morning wake-up call.
This isn’t ideal if you love a lie-in, so having a team who can reset all of the features to suit you, rather than the previous owner, is vital.
Lutron
One of the smart home system providers that we work with is Lutron.
Lutron really focuses on light control, and when you consider that lighting accounts for roughly 10% of the average household electricity bill, you can see why.
Compatible with many different forms of lighting, such as LED and fluorescent, you can set up a wide range of different effects, including lighting for entertainment, or dimmed lighting.
All of these can be done on a number of different devices, ranging from smartphones to tablets and even handheld controls that can be attached to a wall.
Not only does a Lutron smart home system provide many benefits both environmentally and financially, but it can also help to provide a lovely setting for a home.
