1. Design Experience

Thoughtful design is a crucial component of home automation, not just to meet your lifestyle preferences but also to ensure that your technology operates at maximum performance. Poorly placed speakers in a home theater or media room can cause uneven sound transmission and distorted audio. The wrong lighting fixtures in the dining room can cast long shadows instead of illuminating the hand-carved dining table and antique china cabinet.

At ASAP Security Services, our team performs a thorough inspection of your home so that we can recommend the solutions that fit your space. We also spend plenty of time getting to know you, your family and how you use technology. Some of our homeowners want a luxury private theater with a large projection screen and theater-style seating. Some of our homeowners want a more functional multi-purpose media room that can transform into a movie-watching, TV-binging, video game-playing space using sleek hidden technology. Our design work ensures you get the intelligent technology you need at the aesthetic you want.

2. Wiring and Cabling Expertise

While wireless technologies are expanding and improving year over year, there are plenty of smart technology solutions that may require extensive wiring in your home. Wired solutions are incredibly reliable, so you may need hardwiring for part of your home network infrastructure, a whole-home audio system, or outdoor audio and video. At ASAP Security Services, our technicians are trained to install complex cabling solutions that run through the walls and underground.    

We highly recommend not taking the risk of wiring smart technology systems yourself. Improper wiring can lead to equipment malfunctions, and more importantly, it could cause real danger to your home and family.

3. Whole Home Automation Skills

Setting up independent plug-and-play smart devices may be a manageable DIY project, but installing a connected, centralized whole home automation system is vastly more complicated. The control system is the heart of home automation and the key to unlocking all the comfort, convenience, ease and luxury that smart technology adds to your lifestyle. A professional smart home expert is responsible for integrating all your home technology into one system and configuring it so that you can control everything from a single interface.

When your smart devices can “communicate” in one system, you can customize settings, schedules and automated scenes that control several functions at once and make your day smoother and more comfortable.
