Energy Savings From Using the Right Smart Devices

When you start shopping around for monitored home security, you’ve probably just considered a basic system that can protect your family and your assets. What you may not know is that home security systems can also offer convenience and energy savings.

Read on to see how bundling your home security system with the right smart devices can lower your energy bills, and put a little extra cash in your wallet.

Invest in a Nest Learning Thermostat 

The Nest Learning Thermostat is a front-of-the-line smart device when it comes to saving energy and money. Studies have shown that you can save upwards of $180 a year by using a Nest Learning Thermostat. Whether you’re leaving for an hour or for a week, the Nest Learning Thermostat will make sure you’re not wasting any energy while you’re away. And the ability to adjust your home’s temperature from your phone before you get home is unbeatable.

Smart light bulbs can offer energy savings too

Light bulbs have come a long way. And with all the different bulbs available — including ones that glow in numerous colors — they’ve become quite a novelty. But at their core, smart light bulbs are a great way to save money.

We all have a light in a hallway or mud room that tends to accidentally be left on all the time. Luckily, you can save money by turning it off from anywhere at any time. Going out of town? Set your light bulbs on a schedule and give your home the appearance of being occupied. Everyone can benefits from a little extra security on top of all that convenience.

Home security is not what it used to be, in all the best ways. Not only does it give you peace of mind, knowing that your assets and family are safe, a comprehensive home security system also gives you convenience and extra cash to spend on the things you really need.
