Incorporating Smart Home Automation in a Retrofit Project

Remodeling Is a Perfect Time to Consider Implementing Whole Home Automation

We’ve shared the latest advancements in whole home automation and how it can dramatically change you and your family’s daily life in Park City, UT. Here, we're addressing some of our client's initial concerns. For example, some get excited about this level of luxury living but are skeptical about implementing a home automation system after their home's built. Their questions often revolve around prior investments in conventional home fittings and concerns about the possible disruption when cabling is routed through existing walls and ceilings. 

Fortunately, home automation can easily be integrated into existing structures. Let’s look at the process.

Smart Home Retrofitting

Retrofitting involves installing smart home features in a home that was not fitted or wired for these types of installations in the original construction. Retrofit wiring enables homeowners to update their wiring infrastructure to support the latest smart technology and create a home that exceeds their expectations. 

Our project managers and certified technicians have years of experience and the right equipment to customize your smart home. We can recommend both wired and wireless solutions, allowing for a hardwired network's reliability while minimizing disruptions. A blended network involves upgrading spaces with wireless technology and extending its reach with access points or a mesh network system.

Personalized, Scalable Solutions

Our project managers consider your current lifestyle and future possibilities as your family grows, and your needs change. We ensure your new smart home provides the personalization that makes life easier and more enjoyable while providing scalable solutions that can be easily optimized through the years. 

For example, a personalized “Party” scene may splash purples, reds, and brilliant blue lights throughout your home and yard while heating the spa and lighting the tiki torches. 

There may come a time, however, when you’d like to tap the “Party” icon on your touchscreen and experience your “Relaxing” playlist streaming through your home and yard and indoor and outdoor lights the color of candlelight. Times change, and your smart home should be able to easily change with you. 

What Is Smart Home Technology?

For those who have not yet delved into the world of smart homes, this technology in the hands of certified experts offers seamless integration of all your home's systems and smart devices. Your shades, HVAC system, smart door locks, security cameras, lighting, pool and spa, landscape lighting, irrigation, audio and video, and more, all work together. 

You can control individual or multiple systems with one touch from your smartphone app, touch panel, in-wall keypad, or remote. These systems can also be programmed to react automatically based on the time of day, the temperature, or your location. For example, does your morning routine consist of opening the shades, turning on the lights, setting the temperature, and tuning into some jazz? Simply tapping the "Good Morning" button can do all of that and more.
