2GIG: Helping Customers Save on Utility Bills With Home Automation

A security system at the heart of home automation supplies more than convenience and security. These systems let you offer controls and monitoring capabilities that deliver real cost-saving benefits to your customer.

Because people are spending more time at home it is no surprise many are seeing increases in their utility bills. There are several suggestions dealers can provide customers for ways to help them reduce these costs while also adding security and lifestyle conveniences by installing various smart home automation solutions.

One proven product for climate control is a smart thermostat, which is the second-most added home automation product. You will want to recommend a highly reliable, affordable and smart thermostat that offers the latest features and technologies.

For example, the 2GIG Smart Z-Wave Plus Thermostat enables home-owners to better manage and lower heating and cooling costs anytime, anywhere. The ability to control home lighting is another cost-saving opportunity. Some newer home security panels integrate lighting control allowing them to be managed whether the homeowner is at work, on vacation, or just in the next room.

Advanced lighting control in security panels can be personalized so consumers can set a lighting schedule to suit their needs. And with the holidays approaching, security is enhanced with panels that use an app to ensure lights are on or connected to a smart doorbell to track home package deliveries.

In addition, water leaks can cause serious and costly damage inside a home. There are security systems designed to be the center of a smart home that feature an integrated water leak detector. These systems provide timely notification that water is leaking before it gets to the point of damage.

Homeowners receive notification from the security panel and/or their smartphone as soon as pooled water is present. This prevents expensive repairs and can help lower a water bill from an undetected leak.

A security system at the heart of home automation supplies more than convenience and security. These systems let you offer controls and monitoring capabilities that deliver real cost-saving benefits to your customer.
