Home automation systems in Waterloo, IA
Home automation used to be something out of science fiction movies: electronics that performed various tasks for you, leaving you free to concentrate on other aspects of your life. The very phrase conjures up something out of “The Jetsons.” In point of fact, however, we’ve had forms of home automation for many years: think of the coffeemakers that go off at the same time every morning and have your morning coffee ready for you when you wake up.
Today, “smart” home automation systems are very real and can provide huge benefits to households throughout the Waterloo, IA area. The trained team at Dalton Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, Electric and Fireplaces, Inc is up to date on all the options and can provide high quality installation, repair and maintenance services for your home. Call us today to get the process started!

What do home automation systems do?
Every home is different, and thus the list of potential features for a home automation system is different as well. All of them are based around the notion of putting your appliances and electronic ideas under the control of the system, allowing them to function automatically without the homeowner needing to bother with them. This can include anything from security lights to alarm clocks to television sets. Smart hubs form the core of the system: using wires or radio waves to signal information to any number of gadgets and appliances throughout the home.
Because your circumstances are unique, it pays to consult with a trained electrician in the Waterloo area to get all of the details right. We’ll analyze your home and speak to you about your needs, then set up a home automation system that suits your specific life!
Who benefits from home automation systems?
Technically, any household can benefit from a home automation system. It removes the worry of taking care of little tasks from your daily life, and even simple systems can make a huge difference in easing the number of tasks you need to perform.
More specifically, home automation systems can benefit people who live very busy or stressful lives – acting as a kind of "automatic servant" to ensure that certain tasks or features in the home are completed or activated at certain times. They also benefit the elderly and people with limited mobility, taking the stress and strain out of tasks such as turning on the lights without having to get up. Talk to our friendly team to discuss your options further!
Preparation and sound advice are key
The good news about a home automation system is that weather is rarely a factor in installation and preparing costs very little. We emphasize preparation as a key part of any installation service: consulting with our about your needs and ensuring that the system functions exactly the way it is supposed to. That way, you get the system you need installed the right way.
Furthermore, since all systems wear out and break down, our team will be on hand at all times to perform repairs and maintenance, and make sure your automated system remains as problem free as the day you installed it. Call us today and let us show you how we can help!
