Irving, Texas (PRWEB) April 22, 2014

Spring has sprung: Flowers are blooming, the weather is warmer, and afternoons are spent outside. In addition to more bearable temperatures, spring also motivates many homeowners to begin home improvement projects.

This year, as part of your home upgrade, why not consider smart home technology? Integrating security with advanced technology, a smart home provides protection for you and your family, while giving you the ability to remotely control devices in your home and monitor whats going on when youre away all from your smartphone or tablet.

The Electronic Security Association (ESA), whose members are leaders in security and integrated technology, offers three reasons why you should add comfort, convenience and security to your home this spring.

Spring into security

Not only is security a critical component of smart home technology, its also one of the most popular features among homeowners. A survey released by the Consumer Electronics Association reported that 62 percent of consumers interested in smart home technology were initially intrigued by the security aspect.

The appeal of enhanced home security systems stems from their user-friendly design and convenient lifestyle-enriching benefits such as remote monitoring and control. For instance, if your home is equipped with an enhanced security system, youll never have to wonder its armed or if the doors are locked. Simply log in on your smartphone, tablet or other web-enabled device, check the status of your home and secure it with the push of a button.

Pull the plug on high energy bills

Whether its leaving the lights on, forgetting to adjust the thermostat before your week-long vacation, or those pesky appliances referred to as energy vampires, there are many ways energy can be wasted in your home. Fortunately, you dont have to dine by candlelight to combat high energy bills; you just need a little technology.

Many homeowners using smart home technology as an energy management solution have reported up to 30 percent savings on their monthly utility bills. You can keep your home running efficiently by managing your thermostat, lights and appliances via the web. Its an easy way to conserve energy and save money.
