Here are smart upgrades you can make to have a safer home this year.
Upgrade Your Appliances
Consider upgrading all your electrical appliances to smart models with the option to be controlled remotely. These are much safer, and more energy-efficient, as well as being better for the environment. Newer models of things like washing machines and dishwashers not only reduce your energy consumption but are also much more stylish and work better in general. The majority of these new models will automatically have the option to be controlled from a device or smartphone. Your heating and electricity can also be monitored using a single app.
Home Alarms
Keep yourself and your family protected by installing home alarm systems. You can choose between a range of options depending on the type of home and your security needs. Modern security systems come with a mobile app so you can always be sure your home is safe wherever you are. This state-of-the-art technology will give you peace of mind.
Energy Saving
If you don’t have the option to go with renewable energies such as solar power, you can at least reduce your consumption of electricity, by switching all of your lightbulbs to LEDs. They are much less risky as they transfer hardly any energy into heat. LEDs are more durable and can withstand harsh weather conditions. Outdoor LEDs can also provide security with cutting edge technology. Look into fitting a motion sensor security light, ideal for both your garden and garage. LEDs are not only more durable but they are much more energy-efficient and perfect for a modern eco-friendly household. As well as reducing your consumption of electricity, make sure your home is also well-insulated to reduce heat loss and heating expenses. This will save you on your gas bill and be better for the environment. Upgrade all your windows to solid double-glazing and look into replacing and flooring with more eco-friendly options.
Protect Your Devices
Make sure your smartphone is secure and don’t share information over a public connection or WiFi. These are easier to be intercepted by hackers. You want your smart home to run on a private network that’s only accessible by you. When upgrading your appliances, go with reliable brands you can trust. Cheaper devices might not be as secure and might expose you to cybersecurity threats. Here is a list of well-known brands that meet security standards.
