  What You Need to Know About Smart Products

   

  You may be overwhelmed with all the brands and options available to you when choosing smart home products. The truth is a lot of it comes down to your preference and the ecosystem you prefer. While we typically work with brands like Ring and Google Nest, we can install just about any residential smart home device. Just call one of our friendly staff members and see if we can help you with your smart home project.

  The types of devices we install include:

  • Ring/Google Nest video doorbells
  • Cassetta wireless smart switches
  • Smart locks
  • Motion sensors and security cameras
  • And more!

   

• How a Smart Home Works

  Smart home products can be easily installed by our team or by the homeowner.
  Most products only require batteries for operation or can be hardwired for the added convenience of not having to recharge.

  By installing a range of devices that work with your smartphone, you can wirelessly connect to and control these devices from any time, anywhere. Things like setting your lights to turn on at sunset or being able to see when a package has been delivered to your front door are possible benefits of a smart home system.

• Can Your Whole Home Be “Smart?”

  Yes! Well, almost. More and more products are being made from appliances to TVs and more. While not everything has the same functionality, most things we use in our daily lives such as lights, locks, and security can be added to a smart home system.

• What smart home products does Heritage install in Massachusetts?

  Heritage installs a wide range of smart home products including smart thermostats, smart lighting and dimmer switches, smart outlets, video doorbells, security cameras, and whole-home automation hubs. We ensure every device is properly wired, configured, and connected to your home network for reliable performance.

• Do I need to upgrade my electrical wiring for smart home devices?

  Some smart home devices, particularly smart switches and dimmers, require a neutral wire that may not be present in older Massachusetts homes. Heritage can evaluate your existing wiring and perform any necessary upgrades to ensure full compatibility with your chosen smart home products.

• Can smart home products help reduce my energy bills?

  Yes, smart thermostats, lighting controls, and smart outlets allow you to automate energy usage and eliminate waste by scheduling devices and monitoring consumption in real time. Many Massachusetts homeowners see measurable savings on their electricity bills after installing smart home technology.

• Will smart home products work if my internet goes down?

  Most smart home devices retain basic manual functionality during an internet outage — for example, smart switches still operate as regular switches. Heritage can also recommend devices with local processing and hub-based systems that maintain automation routines even without an active internet connection.

• Does Heritage provide support after smart home installation?

  Yes, Heritage stands behind every installation with ongoing support to help you troubleshoot issues, add new devices, or adjust your smart home configuration. If you need help integrating additional products or expanding your system, our technicians are available to assist.
