Personalize Your Smart Home for The Ultimate Automated Lifestyle

While standard home automation systems can perform effectively, customizing everything makes your Minneapolis home that much more comfortable.

Personalize Your Smart Home for The Ultimate Automated Lifestyle

No one wants a cookie-cutter house; different families have different needs and preferences, and what works in one home may not be the right choice for another home. The same is true of home automation systems: You may be looking for someone to install a custom home theater or whole-home audio system, while your neighbors may be more interested in outdoor audio or lighting control.

Furthermore, different homes pose different challenges in terms of installation, wiring and integration. A one-size-fits-all approach to designing a smart home is not going to give you an optimal result. By personalizing your smart home, though, you can create a system that’s better suited to your needs and preferences, and it will likely work better, too.

That’s why we want to talk to you about all the ways you can personalize your Minneapolis, MN, smart home. Want to know more? Keep reading.

Central Vacuums Are Still a Smart Choice

Building or Remodeling a Home?

We have written on these pages before about the benefits of central vacuums and central vacuum installation.  In this age of smart home technology, you may ask what’s so great about central vacuums?  No, they don’t vacuum the floors themselves (yet), but the traditional benefits of central vacuums are still intact in 2018. 

If you are building or remodeling a home, we’ve discussed the benefit of thinking about and planning for smart technology up front; it makes it much easier to plan the wiring, networking, and other infrastructure that is necessary for a future-proof smart home.  Central vacuums also benefit from the same advanced planning.  It’s much easier to plan for one in the framing, plumbing, and electrical wiring stage, and much less expensive to install than retrofitting.

If you are working on a large project – perhaps a significant addition or a new build – planning for a central vacuum makes sense. No one wants to drag a canister or upright vacuum all over a large home.  Of course, multiple vacuums can be purchased, but that also means multiple ones to maintain and store throughout the house. 

Let’s take another look at why central vacuums are a smart choice for your next Eden Prairie MN home build or remodel.
