How long does it take to install Google’s Nest device?

Nest installation is a relatively simply job that can be completed on our first visit to your home. While we’re there, we’ll complete a comprehensive, complimentary “Keep it Safe Inspection” so that you can rest assured that your residential electrical system is operating as designed and in conformance with the current building code.

Should I hire a professional to install a Google Nest?

Unless you have previous electrical experience, you should always hire a licensed electrician to complete any electrical work, including installing or replacing a Google Nest. An electrician will be able to install your device quickly and safely while identifying any other potential issues that need to be addressed before completing the job.

What are some of the other popular types of Smart Home devices?

It seems like a week doesn’t go by without the introduction of a new Smart Home device. Fortunately these systems are designed to easily accommodate new technologies. A few of our favorite current devices include:

• Ring Video Doorbell
• Amazon Echo
• Philips Hue Lighting
• Nest Thermostat
• Arlo Security Camera
• Belkin Smart Plug

What is a Smart Home system and what does it do?

A smart home is one in which the various electric and electronic appliances are wired together to a single controller, which may be your phone, tablet or other device, allowing you to control a variety of features of your home through a single interface, or automatically causing things to happen at certain times.

What are the advantages of a Smart Home?

There are numerous advantages to installing a Smart Home, including:

• Manage your home from one place – or anyplace! The convenience factor here is enormous. Theoretically, all you’ll have to do is learn how to use one app on your smartphone and tablet, and you’ll be able to tap into countless functions and devices throughout your home.
• Flexibility for the Future. Smart home systems tend to be wonderfully flexible when it comes to the accommodation of new devices and appliances and other technology. No matter how state-of-the-art your appliances seem today, there will be newer, more impressive models developed as time goes on and your system is designed to be updated as new technologies emerge.
• Home Security. When you incorporate security and surveillance features in your smart home network, your home security can skyrocket. For example, home automation systems can connect motion detectors, surveillance cameras, automated door locks, and other tangible security measures throughout your home so you can activate them from one mobile device before heading to bed. You can also choose to receive security alerts on your various devices depending on the time of day an alert goes off, and monitor activities in real-time whether you’re in the house or halfway around the globe.
• Remote Control. With a Smart Home, you can control your home’s functions remotely! For example, you can order your house to become cooler in just enough time before you get home from work. If you’re in a hurry to get dinner started but you’re still at the store, you can have your oven start to preheat while you’re still on your way home. You can even check to see if you left the lights on, who is at your front door, or make sure you turned off all your media while you’re away.
• Energy Efficiency. Smart Home systems can save you money. For example, you can have more precise control over the heating and cooling of your home with a programmable smart thermostat that learns your schedule and temperature preferences, and then suggests the best energy efficient settings throughout the day. Lights and motorized shades can be programed to switch to an evening mode as the sun sets, or lights can turn on and off automatically when you enter or leave the room, so you never have to worry about wasting energy.
