Energy reducing control systems operate only when required & conserve energy – not needlessly consuming energy while on standby. Now, you know you need to turn appliances and electronics off to save energy, but did you know that once you turn them off, they are still using electricity? That’s right – many items in your home continue to draw energy even after they are shut down – items like your computer and its peripherals, your television, stereo, microwave and stove. These items go into standby mode once switched off and create what’s known as a “phantom load” which can add up to 8% to your electricity bill.
It is easier to more fully outfit a house during construction due to the accessibility of the walls, outlets, and storage rooms, and the ability to make design changes specifically to accommodate certain technologies. Want a home automation system in your current home? Not a problem, wireless systems can be installed when outfitting a pre-existing house, as they obviate the need to make major structural changes.
