Getting Technical

What technology do you really need? This is different for each person. We live in a world full of technology. Most of it is designed to make life easier and save time. But does it? Yes, if done right. With the proliferation of smart devices in our society, most people are going to feel the impact of technology in their lives.

Smart thermostats, video doorbells, lighting control, smart door locks, surveillance systems, WiFi, and other technologies are becoming an important part of our lifestyle. Many decades ago cars had hand cranks for rolling the windows down. And most cars didn't have air conditioning at that time, so the windows were used often. Power windows and A/C were considered luxury items and often came with a high price tag and questionable reliability. But they improved over time and prices came down. Now they are standard equipment on most cars.

Your home is undergoing the same evolution. Many of the things once considered "techy" are becoming standard fare. You can reject it, or you can embrace it with an understanding that it may require the services of an expert to provide simple, reliable control of these technological amenities.

Control4, Crestron, and Savant are three of the top companies in the control systems industry. While they each make many of the products in the technology arena, they can also provide integrated control of a huge number of products provided by other companies. This is done through the use of a single app on your smart phone, tablet, or touchscreen. The capabilities, reliability, and cost effectiveness of these systems have improved greatly over the years, making them logical choices for all who want to embrace technology in their lives.

At ESC we specialize in making technology simple and reliable. We carry all three of these premium brands and use them where appropriate. We also understand that not everyone is destined to have a control system. We design for the individual needs and budget of each client. The end result is a match between the technology and the client that ensures long-term satisfaction. That's what drives every project we do.
