Home Improvement Trends to Keep an Eye On:

And How They Can Help You

Though it can be tough to think about this early in the year, Spring is just around the corner. March comes in like a lion and goes out like lamb, meaning that soon enough the snow will be gone and the birds will be chirping again. With the onset of Spring comes everybody’s favorite activity…spring cleaning!
According to the Graham Leader of Graham, Texas there are three major trends to this year’s spring home cleaning and improvements.

“Top 2014  Home Improvement trends:
  1.  Energy management and environmental impact
  2.  Streamlining the kitchen and cooking processes
  3.  Safety and security of a property”

Let’s break these down for a minute. Number three top home improvement for 2014 is to increase the safety and security of your property. Doing this through traditional means could help, but integrating your security system is a far more efficient way to monitor your property. By integrating your security system you can essentially bring your 21st century home to where it needs to be, a "Smarthome".

The days of a lock for security and camera safety are over. Make it easy on yourself and tough on the bad guys. Receive text messages or iMessages when something is fishy at your property. Or trigger the alarm to automatically disarm when you know the kids are coming home. Let the technology of 2014 protect what is the most important to you. We live in an age where you don’t have to wonder whether the dog set off the alarm or if there is a real threat. You can instantly know what is happening and do it remotely from your Smartphone or tablet with an integrated security system. To adequately protect yourself, family, and friends, integrate the safety and security systems of your property.

The top home improvement trend of 2014 is actually rather predictable. Managing your energy usage and the environmental impact of your home is important for a number of reasons. What most are failing to realize is that energy management does not have to be difficult. When you integrate your energy systems you can monitor and control the usage to your preferences. You can cross two of the top three home improvements off your list with one fell swoop by simply integrating the systems of your home.

Controlling for environmental impact is more important than ever in the age of go green. Not only does managing your energy help the environment, but it also saves you money. With an integrated residential system you can control for the hours your lights are on/off and also for a dimming function or more. Do this all remotely from your handheld or laptop. Use less wattage, spend less money and save the environment while you do it. A no brainer. With an integrated lighting system and lighting control you will strive through 2014 home improvements with ease.
