Flying cars and robot chefs aren’t standard issue in Jersey Shore homes quite yet, but technology has taken us incredibly far within the last couple of decades. Things that wowed in movies and on television are commonplace. You might be wondering what’s next. How exactly do these advances in technology translate to your home, though?
Launch Your Home into The Future!
#8: Smart Thermostats
With dozens of options to choose from, you’ll be able to find the right option that gives you exactly what you’re looking for. Most will allow you to connect to your unit from your phone, giving you the capability to check on the system remotely and change the temperature setting. Some will connect with the weather report in your area, allowing it to prepare for future events!
#7: Security Systems
Smart doorbells aren’t just for cartoons anymore. Many homes at the Jersey Shore are outfitted with these nifty devices, allowing you to both see and speak with the person at your front door. Paired with a motion-activated floodlight, it would be difficult to feel more comfortable in your own home.
#6: Solar Panels
Go green and generate your own electricity! Beyond reducing your carbon footprint, you’ll be increasing the value of your home and protecting against future price hikes on Jersey Shore utility bills. (We’re sure you’re familiar with the kind of increases we’re talking about.)
#5: Water Purification Systems
Clean water is one of the most important things in our lives. City water is generally considered safe to drink and bathe in, but there are dangerous chemicals added and certain contaminants that are not removed during the city purification process. Add an in-home purification system to ensure the water flowing into your home is as clean as it can be.
#4: Add Automation
Believe it or not, the appliances in your home can be upgraded to add automation as well. Stoves, refrigerators, and washing machines come in special varieties that allow you to monitor remotely. Existing fixtures, like lamps or chargers, can also be automated using special outlet plug-ins.
#3: Upgrade Your Home’s Electricity
Your Jersey Shore home has a few different types of systems, like ductwork and water lines, just like the human body has the nervous systems and respiratory systems. Ensuring your electrical system, including wiring and your panel, can handle the amount of energy required is important. You can also upgrade outlets to include USB and USB-C connections, kicking those silly little cubes to the curb.
#2: Water Leak Detection
Whether you’re a fulltime Jersey Shore resident or a snowbird, you can enjoy peace of mind with a water leak detection system. With options ranging from whole-house to specific areas, most will connect to your phone and alert you when a water leak is detected. Some will even turn the water off
for you, protecting your home from water damage.
#1: Modulating HVAC System
You should be comfortable within your own home, right? New technologies within the HVAC field have made systems that ramp up and down to meet demand more accessible to the average New Jersey homeowner. It’s one of the best things you can do for frequent temperature swings and can even help with hot and cold spots of your home.
