Denver Fall Home & Garden Show

Visit the All Decked Out booth featuring The Audio/Video Specialists and Stately Wood Studios

The show starts this Friday! You’ve heard Eric Goodman rave about us on his morning sports show. You’ve seen us on Fox and Tom Martino. Come and see us live at the Fall Home & Garden Show at the Denver convention center. You will not only get to meet us, but also some of our great partners, such as our outdoor living specialist, Brandon HIll from All Decked Out. Most recently Brandon has started finishing upscale basements, and he has applied the same amazing work ethic that he has for his outdoor projects inside, too. We love working with Brandon because of his incredible customer service and his attention to detail.

Not only that, but our good friends at Stately Wood Studios and Stately Custom Homes will also be there with us. Jeff Gilbert, master craftsman and custom home builder, will also be with us. Together you will have access to one of the best construction and remodeling teams in Denver and the Front Range.

If you have time, call me, Eric Thompson, ahead of time to set up an appointment at 720-771-8495 or leave us a comment here.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Take Advantage of Green Technology with Smart Energy from Savant

The Green Initiative is not just a fad anymore. With the green message coming from everyone from President Barack Obama to GM, we are truly reaching a new age. Is it possible that last year’s gasoline spike will finally compel us as Americans to truly re-evaulate our energy consumption. The US only has 7% of the world’s population, yet we consume 25% of the world’s resources. Although some of us may have a blatant disregard to conserve, most of us really just lack the education on what we can do to make a difference. What things are simply marketing hype, and what things actually make a difference? Do you know how much it costs you to run your air conditioner for one hour? Do you know how much your kitchen light costs you per hour? How much does dimming really save? If you can’t answer any of these questions, you are not alone. I couldn’t either… at least I couldn’t before we started installing the home command center. Get a snapshot of how much energy your home really consumes. What devices take the most energy? Find places to conserve. How many pounds of coal are used or gallons of CO2 emitted on a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis. The numbers may amaze you at first, but these numbers will become a powerful tool: knowledge. Only with real knowledge can we change habits and effect change.

Our intelligent control technology enables the homeowner to monitor and reduce energy consumption of smart home electronics, conserve resources, and save money— all without sacrificing comfort or convenience. Savant’s Smart Energy harnesses green technology and tailors your system to adjust usage based upon time of day, changing seasons, outside temperature, and any other triggering mechanisms to ensure that your smart home system’s energy usage is always at peak efficiency while quality of life and convenience are never compromised.

Green home automation is easy on energy:

• Set your intelligent lighting to automatically turn on and off with the rising and setting sun by timing them to an astronomical clock.
• Pre-set blinds to close, shutting out powerful sunlight and keeping the interior of your home cool while conserving energy.
• Reduce the demands on heating and cooling systems with climate controlthat regulates thermostat levels based on outside temperature.
• Press a “Lights Out” button to disable all intelligent lighting, making certain that no lights have been left on unnecessarily.
• Green home automation integrates with occupancy and motion sensors to dim or turn off lights when a room is unoccupied.
• Display power consumption levels to help you monitor energy use in your smart home system.
• Remotely monitor and manage all of the whole-house audio/video components and other smart home electronics with your iPad®, iPhone® or iPod touch® to prevent unnecessary energy consumption.
