Three Benefits of Using a Professional Control4 Installer for Home Automation

The concept of smart home control and automation sounds great to you. We talk about every aspect of it on these blog pages, from AV systems to lighting to shading and everything else. But the process of starting might seem a little daunting; trying to figure out what you want and need. 

When you buy a car, do you spring for the loaded model that has absolutely everything? If you do, you won't suffer from FOMO (fear of missing out) – you’ve got it all. That’s great, but most auto manufacturers offer different trim levels or a multitude of a-la-carte options to customize your vehicle the way you want it. That way, you get what you want and don’t pay for what you don’t need. 

When it comes to smart home design and installation, that’s what an expert Control4 installer like GHT Group can offer you – a system specifically tailored for your Duluth, GA home and your needs. Read on to see how working with a Control4 dealer gets you all the smart home you need and want – and not what you don’t.

What Are the Must-Haves?

Let's go back to the car analogy since most people can identify with them. Chances are there are some specifics that you look for in finding the right one for you. Maybe it's a powerful engine or a touch-screen infotainment system. Or at least three seating rows in the SUV you want. No matter what those must-haves are, you won't compromise on those. Smart home automation can be that way too. If your hot buttons are automated lighting control and security, then that might be where you optimize your budget. If you don't care about whole-home audio, then you don't need to do that! A good Control4 installer (like us) will guide you through the process.

Making the Most of Your Budget

In the process of figuring out must-haves, there are nice-to-haves. We'll help you figure those out too. For example, maybe you don't need whole-home audio today, but you might want it two years from now. That might impact how you do your installation today. Control4 makes a variety of controllers, and some of them have additional features that may be of benefit down the line – like whole-home audio. We can help you intelligently choose what’s right for you, as well as lay the groundwork – like wiring for keypads and speakers – that you might leverage in the future. That way, you don't overbuy today, and you're not limited in expanding your smart home capabilities in the future.
