How to make your Home Smarter this Spring
Are you wondering how you can make your home smarter and more energy-efficient?
Smart home technology refers to a set of devices which can be controlled independently either through the click of a button on your remote or through voice command. Through this advanced technology, you can make your life easier, strengthen your home security and help you become more energy-efficient.
Here at Griff Services, our projects and installations team work closely with designers, architects, chartered engineers and specialist traders to warrant a bespoke and high-quality finish.

In this blog, we’ve highlighted why you should get on board with smart home automation systems and how smart technologies can make your home better:
1. Invest in Smart locks
Smart home technology can be your best friend when it comes to enhanced security. To avoid getting your house broken into or having any goods stolen, it’s a good idea to invest in a smart lock. Smart locks connect to your home’s WiFi network and allow you to open the door without a physical key.
With a smart lock, you can ditch the keys and enjoy the safety of managing your lock whenever you are. Using your smartphone app, you can unlock your door when you get home and rest assured it is a fool-proof solution.
2. Consider a Smart thermostat
With a smart thermostat, you can adjust your house’ temperature via a smartphone or desktop for greater control over your heating system. In addition, a smart thermostat will register your daily habits and schedule, so it will adjust automatically to your routine and help you save money on your heating bills.
6% of households in the UK already have smart thermostats, according to YouGov, which adds up to 1.67 million homes. If you’re still not convinced, smart thermostats can help reduce your carbon footprint and become more environmentally conscious.
3. Upgrade to a Smart TV
A smart TV is the latest technology that can bring a futuristic experience in your house. You don’t need to connect a smart TV to internet to watch television, but if you go online, you can access your favourite apps or stream the latest videos, movies or pictures straight from your phone or tablet.
Smart TVs come with interactive technologies and with keyboard remote controls that make it easier to navigate and browse through your favourite programmes.
Overall, smart home technology has managed to turn our imagination into reality and when used properly, it can help you save time and money, increase your home’s energy efficiency and ultimately, become the friend you never knew you needed.
