LEARN HOW OUR ENERGY MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT TEAM RELIEVES THE STRESS OF BROWNOUTS, INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY AND PRODUCT QUALITY.

 

Consistent power is vital to any business in the Napa Valley, CA, area; wineries are especially dependent on the grid to develop and protect their product. In recent years, companies have had to contend with environmental factors such as a desire to lower their carbon footprint and increasing reliability issues with PG&E.

 

The UC Berkeley December 2019 paper entitled ‘2040, Electricity Independence and Microgrids’ points out that wildfires and transmission issues have affected over 32,000 Napa Valley customers. The results were loss of work, the danger of wine fouling and supply chain setbacks decreasing revenue for months to years after.

 

An energy management consultant from Pacific Audio & Communications collaborates with your architects, business leaders and municipal governing bodies to create power security and savings. Read more below to see how we can make your business power supply sustainable and efficient.

Learn How Lighting Sets The Mood and Creates Personalized Ambiance For Your Outdoor Entertaining 

Outdoor living spaces are a vital part of living here, the long tradition and the convenient luxury of blurring the line between nature and our interiors. Entertaining in your backyard is one of the great pleasures of homeownership. It is the space where we celebrate personal milestones, gather the gang to party, and decompress at the end of the day.

ARE YOUR LED BULBS RIGHT FOR YOUR SYSTEM?

are-your-led-bulbs-right-for-your-system

Not All LED Lighting Systems Are Created The Same; We Test Every Bulb To Ensure You Get The Right Ones.  

Lighting has a considerable influence on our state of mind and general well-being. Research has shown that lights that generate colors that read as cold make an office uninviting, oppressive in feeling. When employees are uncomfortable, productivity and creativity drop off; conversely, a work environment that fosters warmth with inviting colors and space helps staff to excel.  

LED lighting has ushered a revolution in illumination, providing an endless color spectrum and the ability to set the mood or change the look of a space. Just touch a button, or with a voice command, the lights dim, and your business has an entirely different feel. Unfortunately, not all LED bulbs work in the same way, especially when it comes to dimming.  

Do you want to understand how choosing the wrong bulbs can leave you unsatisfied, frustrated and may even damage the commercial lighting system in your Oahu, HI business?  Read below to learn more.

The Key to Increasing Property Value and Home Buyer Interest

The Key to Increasing Property Value and Home Buyer Interest


How Smart Home Automation Helps Sell Homes

Honolulu has a very hot real estate market. Whether you’re selling new homes or previously owned properties, it’s always a good idea to explore new ways to appeal to home buyers. And the trend that is hitting it big in Hawaii is definitely smart home automation. Historically, smart home technology has been limited to custom installations by individual homeowners, but real estate companies are starting to realize the advantages of upgrading homes with automation in order to sell properties fast for top dollar.

3 Reasons to Invest in Smart Home Automation

1.    It’s Growing More Popular (and It’s Here to Stay)

According to a recent study by Houzz, almost half of homeowners prioritize adding smart technology when renovating homes. It’s clear that smart devices are part of everyday life, so why not make it easy for buyers by giving them the technology right from the start?

2.    It Gives You an Edge on the Competition

Imagine how different the experience is for buyers when they walk into a fully automated home. The windows shades rise, the lights brighten, and the audio system starts playing music at the touch of a button or single spoken command.

When given the choice between that and a home without smart technology, it’s not difficult to guess which option is going to win.

3.    It’s Easy to Get Started

You don’t have to integrate all of this technology yourself. By partnering with Pacific Audio & Communications, you can gain all the benefits of having technology-infused homes without any of the time or effort. You do the real estate work, and leave the rest to us.

Possible Technologies to Add to Homes (and Their Top Selling Points)

Once you decide to embrace the smart home automation movement, it’s time to explore the possibilities! There are a lot of smart technologies out there, but not all of them are an ideal fit for new home buyers.

Here are the options we recommend that real estate companies consider:

1.    Lighting Control

We can connect all of the lights throughout the home to one central management system. With this technology, you can adjust a single light, a certain area, or the entire home with one tap on your smartphone or tablet. It’s convenient, it can help keep energy bills low, and it’s great for enhancing a home’s décor.

2.    Motorized Shades

Motorized shades give a “wow factor” to each room. With zero manual effort, the shades can raise or lower upon command. The biggest selling point for motorized shades is their energy-efficiency—we can add smart sensors to the windows that automatically adjust the shades to avoid solar heat gain, which keeps energy bills low.

3.    Climate Control

There’s a reason why Nest Learning Thermostats are so popular. Homeowners love how easy it is to set the temperature from their smartphone. We can go beyond just a smart thermostat though. Ask us about our full climate and energy management solutions.

4.    Smart Security

Security is usually top of mind for home buyers. Make it easy for them with an already integrated security solution that includes surveillance cameras, smart door locks, window sensors, and more.

5.    Professional Networking

The last thing you want is to be showing a home and have the potential home buyers discover that they have no cell service or Wi-Fi access in certain areas. Ensure reliable coverage in every room with a professional networking installation. Cellular boosters and wireless access points are strategically placed throughout the home for top-notch performance.

Whether you’re in Honolulu, Kauai, or another area of Hawaii, Pacific Audio & Communications is your smart home automation expert. We work with builders, interior designers, real estate agents, homeowners, and more to develop high-quality, easy-to-use technology.
