There are so many different smart home features available today, and while you can easily set some of them up on your own, others will require you hiring an electrician.  While you may think that it is not worth the hassle of hiring a professional just to make your home smart, remember that these smart home features will make your house safer, while saving you a bunch of time too. 

 3 Smart Home Features A Miami Electrician Installs

1. Smart Thermostat

There are a couple different smart thermostats on the market, and they are all designed to help you save money on your heating and cooling bill.  These thermostats will know when you are away from home, so they can adjust the temperature inside accordingly. 

• Doorbells

There are many different doorbells out on the market, and you can choose from a wired option or a battery-operated one.  We recommend the wired option, because then you never need to worry about the battery dying when you need it the most.  Your doorbell will not only alert you to when someone is pushing the button, but also when they are simply walking on your property. 

• Security Lights and Cameras

There are quite a few options of security lights that have cameras built into them.  Again, you can choose wired or battery-operated for this smart home item.  We love the wired ones, because the batteries can die quickly if the motion light goes on quite often. 

These are three of the many smart home features you may need an electrician for.  However, one of the main reasons you will call an electrician is for upgrading your electrical panel.  After all, with all this new technology, you will be using more electricity than ever before!

If you do not upgrade your electric panel, you may find that your lights flicker and your circuits trip often.  Therefore, if you are seriously thinking about upgrading to many different smart home features, you should call an electrician immediately.  They can give you exactly what you need to keep your home hub going. Also, those new appliances, small appliances, and even those lightbulbs that also act like a speaker. 

We have upgraded many electrical panels for smart home features and installed the three items listed above.  Therefore, we can get things up and running for you in no time at all!
