The Top 4 Home Improvements for 2021
The coming year is going to bring a lot of opportunities to homeowners to add some home improvements that offer both value and convenience to them and their property. Check out this list of the top four home improvement ideas for 2021.
A Digital Home Assistant
Digital home assistants like Amazon’s Alexa and Google’s Home are becoming more and more common, and in the year 2021, they are going to become a must-have feature for many homeowners.
With the right accessories, you can control all kinds of appliances and features around the home including thermostats, lighting, and even doorbells and entry systems. Installing the infrastructure needed for these kinds of conveniences helps make a home more desirable to prospective buyers.
Keyless Entry Systems
Security is important in any home, and modern technology now offers some amazing solutions to home security and entry systems.
Keyless entry systems, or digital locks, offer excellent home security and also convenience. You can unlock your door using a code, a fingerprint, a signal from your smartphone, and even facial recognition. You no longer need to fumble with your keys when you get home from the grocery store, as your phone or your fingerprint can give you access to your property!
They also use cameras that give you a live feed from your front door. If someone presses your buzzer, you can instantly be sent a live video to your phone from your keyless entry system, letting you see who is there. Some even allow you to communicate with your caller through your phone, like an intercom.
Whole House Water Filtration
People have been filtering their water at home for decades, but this normally involves filling a jug or container with water and waiting for it to be filtered. Some systems have also been installed in homes that will give you filtered water from a designated faucet in your kitchen.
You can now have whole house water filtration systems installed that give you clean, filtered water everywhere in your home for extra convenience. These are going to be a must-have feature for homes in the future in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak as people start to take the hygiene of the water coming into their home more seriously.
Smart Thermostats
Controlling your thermostat remotely is incredibly convenient, and the latest smart thermostats allow you to do this and much more.
With these clever devices, you can operate your thermostat when you are away from home, allowing you to turn it off and on, but you can also set schedules and adjust temperatures from the comfort of your smartphone. Many early adopters of smart thermostats have also reported that they have saved money by reducing their energy bills using these devices. These devices are better for your wallet, and for the environment.
These four home improvements are going to be really important to many homeowners and prospective buyers in the coming years. Just adding one or two can add a lot of convenience and value to your property.
