Home automation systems seem like a vision of the future yet these systems are being effectively installed today.  Industry estimations suggest that residential home automation will be as common in the year 2010 as air conditioning is today.  Further, by the year 2020 home automation will be as common as indoor plumbing is today.

So, just exactly what is home automation and why would you want to install such a system.  Well, the second question is the easiest to answer.  Home automation systems certainly enhance the quality of life but the real deal is that these systems save money on costly recurring utilities. 

Home automation systems can be as simple as a programmable thermostat.  Many folks have realized that a good programmable thermostat can significantly reduce the electricity expenses associated with environmental control.  You can take that a step further!   By raising the temperature of your hot water at peak times and lowering at times when you are unlikely to need large quantities of hot water you can really save alot.   An electric water heater accounts for approximately $50 per month on the average home owners electric bill.  A forty percent savings here translates to $240 a year and you will never even notice that your water has fallen to 130 degrees at three in the morning!

Automated regulation of exterior night lighting can produce further savings.  Just how many times have you left that night light on all night anyhow?  Same goes for the kids.  I'm sure you have the typical difficulty in getting them to turn off the lights in rooms they have left.   A home automation system can do the job for them...... saving you money!
