Security Monitoring Goes Mobile, Green (CEPro Article)

Remote monitoring systems not only protect your clients' homes, they help save them energy.

Jay McLellan, HAI & President, is featured in the article.  Below is an excerpt.

Many of the adjustments can happen automatically, like having the thermostat lower when electric rates are high. However, simply having access to real-time information about where your energy dollar is being spent could be all the incentive homeowners... need to pick up their iPhones to turn off the porch lights and the swimming pool heater, says McClellan

“There’s a study that shows that when people understood right here, right now what they’re wasting, they changed their habits and saved an average of 11 percent on their utility bills.”
