Settle into Your Future with Enhanced Home Tech Today

Convenience

We’re all about convenience nowadays, whether it’s having someone else do your grocery shopping and bring it to your doorstep or getting same-day delivery from a major retailer. We also look for convenience inside our homes.

• The M.Connected Home™ Automation Suite app allows homeowners to control all the smart home features from a single destination on phones so that homeowners don’t need to hunt for them, Schnack says.

• Going on vacation but need to have your plants watered? With the smart door lock you can use a secure keyless entry and create unique codes just for visitors.

• Touchless faucets make for easy prep and cleanup while preparing meals. And with health top of mind due to the pandemic, they are becoming more popular in Meritage homes, says Schnack.

Security

Security features are at the top of the must-have list for nearly every homeowner. That’s why Meritage incorporates smart technology to provide extra peace of mind.

• A Wi-Fi-enabled video doorbell allows you to answer the door from your phone, as well as view and record any detected motion on camera.
  

• Feel secure when you leave the house with smart door locks, which can be set to lock automatically. You can check the locks when you’re away, right from the app.

• A smart garage door controller allows you to lower the door remotely in case you forgot to.

Health and Energy Savings

With everything that’s happening in the world, we want to live in a home that promotes a healthy living environment. Many of the systems and features that help maintain a healthier environment in your home can also help reduce your energy bills.

• Spray foam insulation, which is used inside Meritage homes,* seals the home to help lower energy costs while helping keep out allergens like pollen and dust, and reducing outside noise.

• Smart thermostats can be programmed to lower the temperature when you’re away and then turn up the heat when you’re on your way home.

• Multispeed HVAC systems, which Meritage offers for all its homes, are more energy efficient, help control humidity and help maintain a higher air quality inside your home.

These trends in new-build homes benefit homeowners today by helping to make life more convenient, healthier and safer.

 

*Not all exterior walls contain spray foam. In Florida, most Meritage homes utilize concrete block construction with alternative energy-efficient insulation methods to help withstand local severe weather conditions, including hurricanes.
