As technology advances at a phenomenal rate, it can be hard to know what devices to invest in, and what is going to be a passing fad. Here are some of the most useful smart tech investments for homeowners, which will improve the efficiency of your home and bring you extra comfort and peace of mind.

1. Smart Heating Controls

Apps which enable you to digitally control your heating can improve the energy efficiency of your home. They allow you to set schedules, control temperature, and turn the heating on remotely so your home is warm and comfortable when you arrive. The app will also alert you if the heating is left on while you are away, saving you money.

2. Home Lifts

Modern home lifts are stylish, quiet, and reliable, and are becoming a popular choice for those carrying out home renovations. Many people now have a domestic lift installed to avoid the disruption of having to leave a much-loved family home as they get older. Others simply prefer the convenience and elegant use of space offered by a bespoke lift.

For those who have difficulty managing the stairs, or have early diagnosis of a progressive degenerative illness, a home lift can give them the peace of mind of being able to stay in place with their loved ones for as long as possible. It also creates a home that is accessible to all visitors, and saves the need for costly ground floor bathroom renovations.

3. Smart Security Systems

Keeping your home and its occupants safe and protected is essential to your peace of mind. Smart home security systems combine burglar alarms with technology that allows you to monitor your home from an app on your phone or other portable device. There are many options on the market, so it is worth having a browse for what would suit you best.
