5 Reasons To Get an Automated Cooling System

Knowing your home will be a cool, comfortable refuge is a great feeling on a hot, humid summer day. With an automated cooling system, you can make sure it stays that way no matter where you are, and you can save money at the same time. 

Savings

One of the greatest benefits of having an automated cooling system is knowing it can keep your home perfectly comfortable while being more efficient. Automated systems can be set to maximize off-peak usage hours, and these smart systems can "learn" your preferences so they can cool your home based on learned predictions.

Comfort

Because they are finely tuned to your space, can be controlled on your phone from anywhere, and can coordinate temperature control with other smart home devices such as motorized shades, automated cooling systems are able to keep your home consistently comfortable. 

Convenience

Whether you want to design preset cooling schedules based on your usual habits, adjust cooling via your phone as you head home from work, or want a system that will pretty much run itself, automated cooling can make it easy.

Longer-Lasting Equipment

Because automated cooling can learn and predict cooling needs and can coordinate with other smart devices in your home, your HVAC system doesn't need to work as hard or run as often to maintain the comfortable temperatures you desire. Less running time means less wear and tear on compressors and other critical components.

Safety

Do you need to make sure the house stays cool for your pets while you're away? With automated cooling, you can rest easy knowing automated settings can take care of it, and you can check in and adjust temperatures from your phone, too. 

At Nextgen Multi Media, our customized automation systems are designed to make your life easier and more comfortable, from automated HVAC systems and motorized shades to home networking and audio/video systems. Contact us today to start designing your smart home solutions.

If you're in the market for a new Wi-Fi router and access points, you may be wondering if an Eero or Google Mesh router is right for you. Both routers have their pros and cons, and it can be difficult to decide which one is best for your needs. In this blog post, we will compare the two routers and help you decide which one is right for you. When considering which router to purchase, it’s important to look at the features and performance of each. Eero Wi-Fi systems come with a variety of features designed to make your network as fast and secure as possible. They offer dual-band 802.11ac connections that are capable of up to 3Gbps speeds, and their mesh networks provide coverage for up to 5,000 square feet. Eero also offers seamless roaming between access points, allowing you to move around your home without losing signal strength. Additionally, they offer robust security features such as password-protected guest networks and parental control settings. Google Mesh routers are designed with simplicity in mind. They use 802.11ac Wi-Fi technology for speeds up to 2.2Gbps, and their mesh networks cover up to 4,500 square feet. Unlike Eero’s system, Google Mesh doesn’t offer seamless roaming between access points. However, it does have an intelligent QoS (Quality of Service) feature that prioritizes traffic based on importance, ensuring that important tasks such as streaming and gaming have the best possible connection. Google Mesh also offers simple-to-use parental controls and password protection for guests. When comparing Eero vs. Google Mesh routers in terms of performance, both offer excellent speeds and coverage for their respective networks. However, if you need more robust features such as seamless roaming, Eero is the better choice. If you’re looking for a more basic router with less-complicated features, then Google Mesh may be the right option for you. Regardless of which router you choose, both will provide excellent performance and coverage. Ultimately, choosing between Eero vs. Google Mesh routers comes down to your personal needs and preferences. Both offer excellent features and performance, so you can’t go wrong with either one. Consider your budget, the size of your home, and the types of activities you plan to do online when making your decision. With this information in mind, you should be able to find the router that best suits your needs. Good luck!
