Savant Power Saves You Money and Keeps You Powered During Outages

Hawai’i is a dream destination, but it doesn’t come without its share of issues threatening to ruin the laid-back island lifestyle. Power bills keep climbing, outages happen more often, and even those proactive enough to add solar panels don’t get as much out of them as they’d hope.

The problem is that most homes handle energy like they did 50 years ago: passively waiting for whatever the grid delivers, then scrambling when it fails. Savant Power is a better alternative to power your modern luxury home. 

It connects solar panels, backup batteries, and generators into one coordinated network that automatically adapts to changing conditions. Instead of leaving energy management to chance, you get the intelligence to cut costs, boost efficiency, and maintain power when the grid fails.

Transforming Backyard Experiences with Video Walls and Hidden TVs

Are you considering elevating your home’s outdoor experience with the latest outdoor TV / outdoor video solutions? When designed, installed, and programmed correctly, you can turn your backyard into a space that rivals your indoor entertainment. The only difference? Nature’s beauty surrounds you, the trade winds envelop you, and the scent of plumeria fills your senses. 

Here, we’ll explore the nearly limitless options in outdoor entertainment. Today’s homeowners in Hawaii are going beyond the latest outdoor TVs and into the realm of video walls and projectors with large movie screens. Are you ready? Let’s see how it’s done.

Designers and Builders Elevating Spaces with Outdoor Lighting Fixture Installations 

A well-designed landscape lighting system does much more than provide a secure setting at night. With today’s technology, low-voltage LED systems, and stunning fixtures, illuminating outdoor spaces has become an art form. 

For those in the design and build communities, outdoor lighting can set them apart and make a statement to their capabilities in the growing field of lighting design. 

Here, we’ll explore some of the lighting techniques used in an outdoor lighting fixture installation to turn basic illumination into brilliant radiance. 

The Future of Immersive Home Entertainment

Video walls were once the domain of commercial establishments. Retail outlets displayed ever-changing advertisements, and corporations established their brand in people’s minds with unforgettable images. Video walls become the new billboards, striking a stunning contrast with brilliant and vibrant colors, lifelike images, and immersive storytelling.

It's these same features that are making high-end residential homeowners look beyond the big screen—toward the impactful and immersive home video wall installation. Here, we’ll explore how this technology is transforming home entertainment and why it’s becoming the next big screen in Hawaiian homes. 

Creating Extraordinary Spaces with Advanced Illumination

There was a time when designers considered lighting an afterthought, preceded by furnishings, building materials, colors, textures, and artwork. Today’s luxury lighting systems have changed that. 

The latest high-quality lighting systems provide an immersive experience like no other. These transformative technologies enhance design, add comfort, and increase property values. They bring artwork to life, showcasing its best features. Lighting sets the mood, elevates every activity, and brings a sense of well-being to those it touches. 

Today’s advanced lighting systems are nothing if not miraculous. 

At Pacific Audio & Communications, we partner with Lutron, the parent company of Ketra. Together, Lutron and Ketra have transformed how we illuminate our homes and enabled designers to utilize light like a painter’s palette. 

Let’s explore the possibilities and how homes in Hawaii are embracing this technology.

See How Technology Can Turn Your Outdoor Living Space into a Paradise Oasis

Hawaii's perfect all-season climate practically begs us to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living. While we enjoy the ideal setting for enjoying nature year-round, the tropical sun, occasional rain showers, and persistent insects can sometimes interfere with that outdoor experience. Fortunately, modern technology provides elegant solutions that enhance outdoor living without compromising on comfort or convenience. At Pacific Audio & Communications, we specialize in elevating the island lifestyle with sophisticated automation for indoor-outdoor living tailored specifically for Hawaii's unique homes.

Elevate the Hawaiian Experience

Smart home technology started gaining traction in the early 2000s. Today, just a few decades later, there are millions of homeowners experiencing smart home living. 

Why the popularity?

Professional smart home integration creates a lifestyle that’s hard to define until experienced. Through customized automation and the interconnectedness of devices and systems, these homes perform daily tasks and create the ideal atmosphere for life’s unfolding moments.

An automated ecosystem integrates your property’s lighting, climate, security, entertainment devices, and more. Not only can you manage your home with the press of a button, but you can also control it from anywhere, making it an ideal solution for the many vacation property owners in Hawaii. 

Here, we’ll explore its benefits. 

Prioritizing Personalization & Well-Being

Today, more hospitality establishments than ever are prioritizing wellness, making it a part of their brand’s image and offerings. In 2017, Hyatt Hotels Corporation acquired Miraval Group and Exhale, two wellness brands, incorporating their offerings into the guest experience. InterContinental Hotels Group is expanding its EVEN Hotels, a brand with wellness at its core. 

As travelers begin prioritizing personalized experiences, mental health, and physical and emotional well-being, hotels in Hawaii are paying attention. Instead of fast-paced one-activity-after-another vacations, today’s adventurer is looking to slow down, recharge, and reconnect with themselves.

One of the critical elements enhancing this experience is wellness soundscapes in hospitality. This growing audio phenomenon is an added benefit that guests not only appreciate but are coming to expect. 

Here, we’ll explore how brands integrate inspired audio into guests’ daily experiences from the moment they arrive.
