Take Advantage of Smart Technology to Improve Home Energy Management

Most homeowners want to save energy. It not only helps the environment, but an energy-efficient home is a more comfortable space. In addition, saving energy equates to saving money! But doing it involves a lot more than turning off the lights when you leave a room or manually adjusting your thermostat. The most effective home energy management starts with smart technology.

Technologies such as lighting automation, motorized shades, and smart indoor climate control help you save bundles on your energy bill as well as reduce your carbon footprint. Would you like to learn how to enjoy an energy-conscious lifestyle in Healdsburg, CA? Keep reading below!

Waste Not, Want Not! 

It’s nothing new that Americans waste more than other countries in the world. But we are also a country that gives more to those who are less fortunate. Still, reducing waste should be a priority because it leaves us even more to give and save! Your home’s energy efficiency starts with cutting back on waste. Here are three ways to start: lighting, shades, and heat and AC.

How Ultra-High-Definition TVs, Surround Sound, and Lighting Create the Perfect Cinematic Space

Instead of simply watching a movie in your living room, make it a cinematic experience! A home theater immerses you in the sights and sounds of movies and your favorite TV shows. You’re not simply an observer when you turn on the big screen and your surround-sound system; you actually feel like you’re there – in the movies, at the game, or front and center with the actors.

But how do you achieve this in your Marin County, CA, home? Certainly, an average TV and a soundbar won’t do it. You need a state-of-the-art system that provides the same experience (if not better) than you get at the movie. In this blog, we’ll discuss the two must-have components you need for an outstanding home theater system.

Seeing Is Believing

Imagine putting a 48” HD TV in your home theater. It may have been a great idea in the late 1990s, but now, you probably don’t even have one in your home. The latest 4K TVs (or even 8K TVs) are ultra-high definition. And the best TVs use organic lighting-emitting diodes (OLEDs), a technology that dramatically improves image quality, color and contrast, and the overall viewing experience.

Why You Need a Backup Generator for Your Company in California

Imagine this: it’s a packed Friday evening at your restaurant. You’re serving delicious food, guests are having a great time, and the live music is adding even more flair to the ambiance. And then it happens. The power goes out! Unfortunately, this isn’t a farfetched situation. It’s happened to thousands of businesses throughout the Santa Rosa, CA, area.

Even though we live in a beautiful state, it’s become commonplace to have inconvenient and costly power outages. So, how do you get ahead of this problem if you’re an owner or manager of a restaurant, grocery store, office, retail store, or medical facility? The answer: commercial generators. Keep reading to see why you need one on your property.

Don’t Lose Time and Money

When your business loses power, it loses money. In fact, E Source performed a study that found businesses throughout the United States lose $27 billion every year from power outages. If the power is out at your business, everything shuts down – whether it’s the refrigerators at your restaurant, shopping transactions, or even medical equipment. A backup generator keeps the power on even when the main source of power is out. In a split second, your commercial generator switches on, so business operations never grind to a halt – and you won’t lose revenue.
