Save Money on Lighting and Heating Your Nashville, TN Home

Do you know how much you paid last year to light your Nashville home during the holiday season? Because of the prohibitive costs (and environmental damage) involved, so many people hold off on holiday decorating. What if we told you that you could save enough this year that you could splurge on holiday lighting and spread a little holiday cheer? Find out below four ways you can save electricity this holiday season through our residential electric services here in the Nashville area.

Get Cozy with a Best-in-Class Audio and Video Experience

As the temperatures start to drop and family and friends visit more often ahead of the holiday season, entertaining at your Franklin-area home begins to turn indoors. Securing the highest-quality home audio video experience allows you to create a fun-filled holiday season. If your family is like most, they like to hunker down after a large Thanksgiving meal and watch a movie marathon. Make sure you’re ready for guests with some fresh audio-video gear for your home. Who knows? You might even get some good feedback for last-minute holiday gifts.

Think “Safety First” When Building Homes in the Thompson’s Station Area

As the adage says, "Build it, and they will come." In the real estate world, it's more like, "Build it, and hope that they will buy it for the right price." Home builders can command higher prices for their properties here in the Thompson’s Station area with pre-installed home security system features. Find out how in the sections below.

Earn More for Your Investment

While no single house can fit the needs of every buyer, you do have some control as a builder: You can significantly boost the value of a home (and your chances of selling) by installing security features into the original house. In fact, a recent Coldwell Banker study estimated that nearly half of younger homebuyers would invest $3,000 extra for a home with smart features. In fact, you could be missing out on opportunities by not building some smart features into new homes. According to Travis Gray of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, "Smart home technology will soon just be expected in homes, just like stainless steel and granite are the norm across properties today...I foresee homes being completely outfitted with smart technology -- for improving both functionality and lifestyle in our homes."

Bottom Line: Buyers Want Security

Since many homebuyers here in the Thompson’s Station area plan to build smart features into their homes years after purchase, it's no surprise that they prioritize smart security. Buyers think safety first when buying homes, and builders should take note. Consider Coldwell Banker’s 2018 Smart Home Marketplace Survey, released in January. Of the 3,000 potential American homebuyers surveyed, at least two-thirds of all respondents said they would like home security system features such as smart surveillance cameras, smart carbon monoxide detectors and smart fire alarms pre-installed in their new homes.

Safe Bets That Impress Buyers

What are some smart features that customers look for before they buy? Here are three key elements you should consider during the installation process.

• Smart Locks – Locks symbolize safety to the consumer -- keeping their loved ones inside and intruders out. Connect the lock to a central hub within the home for the homeowner's convenience. With a simple smartphone signal, doors can be locked or unlocked, and homeowners can give friends and family temporary or permanent access.
• Smart Doorbells – Every time someone walks up to the door, residents will see who it is before deciding to answer by viewing the video surveillance, sent straight to the owner's phone or TV.
• Professional Monitoring – Work with a home security company that not only can expertly install systems in your new properties but also can offer 24/7 remote monitoring. Homeowners love peace of mind. Give potential buyers the option for remote monitoring so they don’t have to work to find a security company on their own.

Distributed Audio

With just a press of a button, you can play popular music and tunes in any part of your home.  With distributed audio – speakers strategically placed throughout your house all connected through a single system – the songs don’t have to stop. Set your system to play an energetic song as you wake up in the morning, and speakers located in your hallways can continue playing the music as you make your way to the kitchen. Then while you relax in the living room or outside on the porch, play a calming tune or a soundtrack filled with ambient sounds. Start an audiobook in the bedroom, and finish it up as you go about the day’s routine throughout the house. You can pause and play with ease through a control application on your smartphone, or have songs carry over from one room to the next – from the basement to the laundry room to the entire upstairs. You have total control in selecting which rooms you want music to play in. Access streaming services like Spotify or Pandora using your control interface. You also can adjust volume, switch songs and playlists, or search through a virtually infinite library of music. You can elevate any event you host by playing DJ and pumping up the dance tunes, or wind down with friends and family as you turn on background music to talk over. Distributed audio helps you create your desired atmosphere every time.  

Distributed Video

Just like whole-home audio, distributed video means you can watch your films and shows in any space. Use your multi-purpose media room to have the ultimate movie night – but never feel limited to just one room for the entertainment. With a distributed video system, all of your video sources will be stored in one centralized location, and we’ll make sure you can access them from any TV in your house. So, if you want to watch a Blu-ray movie from your bedroom TV, you still can – even if the Blu-ray player is stored elsewhere in the house! There’s no need for clunky boxes alongside every TV in your home. You also can control your multi-room video setup using the same smartphone or tablet application you would manage a multi-room audio system through. Simply select the room you want to watch in, what video source you want to watch from (regardless of whether it’s from a cable or satellite box, a Blu-ray player or even a media-streaming device) and instantly your control application on your mobile device will act as a remote for the exact TV you are watching from. It’s really that simple. You even can start watching a movie in your living room, pause it, and then resume watching from your TV in the master bedroom. Just check out this short video to explore how easy it is to control your home’s TVs through a multi-room video setup: Bringing distributed audio video to your living space can make entertaining friends and family easier than ever.

Many people move out to the suburbs in order to move to a safer area, and for the most part, the suburbs are safer. Recently the National Council for Home Safety and Security ranked the safest cities with a population over 10,000 in Tennessee. They looked at the average crime rates per 1,000 people and in two different kinds of crime: violent crime and property crime. Overall in the state the violent crime rate was 9.45 and the average property crime rate was 39.33 per 1,000.

To imagine your home as a true smart home, with intelligent technology in all the right places, may be quite a challenge. Today’s technology for the home is moving fast. To truly understand the possibilities you need expert guidance, and the opportunity to experience the technology in action.

You’ve probably seen an ad or promotion recently for some type of DIY Security System. Often billed as unmonitored or self-monitored systems, the ads appeal to your desire to provide a safe and secure environment for your family. They promote the ease of installation, the limited investment, and sometimes the convenience of a broadband Internet connection. It sounds like a good deal, but is it really?
