If you’re looking for a way to take control of your energy use, a home energy management system may be a great solution for you.

Energy management systems allow you to remotely control, manage and schedule your home’s energy use. Through the use of interactive websites and mobile phone apps, you can access and control your home’s lights, thermostat and outlets from anywhere you have an Internet connection. Being able to control these functions while you’re away from home will make it easier for you to save energy – and money on your monthly bills!

WH Security’s Interactive Security Services makes home energy management easy. Through easy-to-use apps, without ever setting foot in your home you can check to see if you left a light on or cut the power to the curling iron you accidentally left plugged in.

You’ll also be able to adjust the temperature of your home before you arrive and after you leave. In the summer, you can raise the temperature of your home while you’re away to help save on air conditioning expenses. (Setting your thermostat just three degrees higher on hot days can help you save 10 percent on your energy bill!) Before you head home, turn it back down to a temperature you’re comfortable at, and your home will be cool before you arrive. In the winter, reverse the practice to save on your heating expenses.

Being able to control your thermostat remotely has other advantages in addition to saving energy. Because WH Security is located in Minnesota, we know that many of our customers enjoy spending time at their cabins – even in the winter. (We are a crazy bunch, aren’t we?) Say goodbye to shivering under a pile of blankets while you’re waiting for your cabin to heat up! You’ll be able to have your furnace kick in hours before you even arrive.

Control My Home makes home energy management easy and can be added onto existing systems or installed as a part of a new system. In addition to helping you save money, it helps you stay in touch with your home while you’re away.
