Smart Home Technology Trends.

The most exciting trend in 2021 is proving to be even more intelligent home automation. Smart Home Technology Trends. Birmingham, AlabamaMost of us own at least one smart device, but we aren't using them to the best of our abilities, even with just one. Smarter automation starts as simple as using voice commands to train your phone to more complex functions throughout your home.

Smart usage of home technology could be setting up profiles for each family member or scenario. You can program your thermostat, lights, locks, and fans to stay at the ideal settings away from home and have them already set up to be perfect when you get back home.

Create your ideal environment for waking up and for sleeping by automating your lighting system. Lights will slowly dim in the evening as you drift off to sleep and gently wake you with the sunrise each morning.

Smart home automation possibilities are endless. If you can imagine your perfect environment for any mood you're in, smart home technology can automate it. With a simple click of a button from your phone, your room temperature, lights, music, and media will all be switched to your preferred settings.

Smart Shades and Lighting

Smart lighting has quickly become the norm in upgraded smart technology and was one smart home solution that gained many early users. When smart shades were added into the mix, though, a fully customizable ambiance was created. Smart shades and lighting, when used simultaneously, raise and lower shades while adjusting lighting to the perfect level without moving from your seat. Combinations like these save utility money and provide perfectly comfortable atmospheres for any given situation. As you learn to embrace and enjoy the convenience of automation, your connected devices will make safety, cost efficiency, aesthetic, and comfort nearly effortless.

New homeowners should never ignore these electrical responsibilities.

Monday, August 9, 2021

Whether the issue is large or small, problems with electricity are often ignored until they become apparent.  It's easy to avoid thinking about problems that can occur in our appliances, circuit breakers, wall outlets, and even light bulbs. But often, ignoring issues while they are small leads to more significant problems and the necessity for the help of an electrician.

What others say about John's Electric Service

Fixed our outside meter box. Less than 2 hours work.

They did wonderful. Alabama Power was a little hard to deal with, but they arranged everything. Pretty good communication. I thought they were a little pricey, even with the coupon. They made the repairs and the power was back on in less than two hours.

Solved a problem thus restoring my power to some areas of my house

Had a number of outlets not working and lost AC in 97 degree weather--he came twice the 1st time approx 1hr 20 minutes--wasn't able to locate problem---this I put on myself as I was unaware of putting a breaker box behind a vanity that hadn't been move since purchase of my house. Second visit after some search found problem 1hr

OK the skinny--I think he was professional--on time

Was upfront on costs

Problem once the second box was located was an easy fix so thought a touch high on price--that said it was upfront and had I had the answer to location as I should have I think the billing would be much lower so will put this on myself. In other words I don't think he would have ripped me off

Bonus was after having 4 others trying to blame AC and being told I needed a new one---he said everything in my problems was electrical--and viewing my AC said it was fine--no need of new unit--for the moment if right saving me $$$$
