Make Your Thermostat Work Smarter, Not Harder

Your HVAC system is one of the biggest energy draws in the house. Smart thermostats can help reduce that load while keeping your home at the perfect temperature without fiddling with buttons or programming confusing schedules.

Connected smart thermostats learn your routines over time. They automatically adjust the temperature when you leave for work and begin warming or cooling the house before you return. You can easily fine-tune settings based on whether you want to relax, sleep, or entertain.

With a single app, or even Josh-powered voice control, you can make quick adjustments without crossing the room. Better yet, your thermostat can integrate with your window shades and lighting so the entire home works together to stay efficient all year long.

Let Natural Light Do the Heavy Lifting

There’s nothing quite like the soft glow of natural light streaming through the windows. But when unmanaged, sunlight can heat your home unevenly, fade your furniture, and force your cooling system to work harder than it should.

Luckily, automated window coverings solve that issue by responding to the sun’s position, the time of day, or the current room temperature. You don’t need to lift a finger because your shades will adjust to block harsh glare during peak afternoon hours. Imagine them opening to let in warmth on cold mornings or lowering to protect the room from getting too warm during summer. Over time, that makes a noticeable difference in your home’s energy efficiency and HVAC workload.

At Elite, we work with whisper-quiet solutions from premium brands like Lutron that look beautiful and work flawlessly in the background. Whether your home is traditional or modern, our team helps you find stylish options that complement your design while delivering real energy benefits.

Intelligent Lighting Wastes Less and Adds Depth

Lighting plays an essential role in both mood and energy consumption. Gone are the days of leaving lights on all over the house due to forgetfulness or laziness, or being forced to manually dim or flip each switch depending on the time of day.

With smart lighting control, lights adjust based on your daily schedule, occupancy, or available daylight. As you move from room to room, the lighting follows you or turns off when you leave. One button press can activate the perfect preset across multiple rooms if you're hosting a dinner party. Winding down at night? Set the mood with cozy, low-level lighting that saves energy while helping you relax.

Because we integrate systems like Crestron Home into your lighting plan, lights coordinate with your thermostat, shades, and even music. Everything works beautifully and efficiently.

Enjoy a Simpler Life That Happens to Be More Efficient

When we talk to our clients, the priority isn’t always "saving energy" in the traditional sense. It’s about simplifying life so you no longer need to worry whether you remembered to turn off the lights or run around the house adjusting shades. Automation gives you more time, comfort, and peace of mind.

The energy savings? That’s a bonus!
