Plus, I get reminders when it’s time to schedule service and change filters
Living in the northeastern part of the country presents some unique challenges, but my friend and I get every type of weather extreme, then the winter time conditions tend to last for more than six months per year and bring temperatures well below zero and feet of snow, and blizzards, sleet, hail and dangerous wind chills are common. The Spring and fall tend to be wet and freezing and our Summer seasons are short but especially hot and humid. My friend and I rely heavily on heating and cooling and temperature control adds up to around fifty percent of the house energy expenses. There is the worry of a heating failure during the middle of winter time and plumbing pipes freezing and bursting. There is the fear of the sump pump malfunctioning during a Spring rainstorm and the basement flooding, then plus, we spend a good deal of time and effort shoveling snow, then i didn’t realize that a apartment automation system would make the extreme temperature less difficult. I invested into a apartment automation system for the security features. I wanted automated door locks, surveillance cameras, window sensors and motion-activated security lights. The automation system includes a smart thermostat with learning capacity. The thermostat automatically adjusts according to my family’s schedule and preferences. It raises or lowers temperature depending on room occupancy and has significantly reduced my monthly utility bills. Plus, I get reminders when it’s time to schedule service and change filters. The automation system also controls a snow melt system installed beneath the driveway and walkways. It starts up in response to dropping temperatures and moisture, and heat spreads across the pavement to melt away snow and ice and eliminate the need to shovel.
