#1: Schedule Your shades

If you like to operate on a schedule, motorized shades can be programmed to open and close at specific times of day. Maybe you want to wake up to natural sunlight or always have privacy at night. Scheduling your shades will ensure your home is optimized for comfort.

#2: Enhance Energy Efficiency

The temperatures may not fluctuate much in California, but keeping your home protected from the heat of the Newport Beach sun is one way to keep utility costs down. Automate your shades to close when temperatures peak to give your air conditioner a reprieve. 

#3: Control Shades Remotely

Now, this is cool—you can adjust your shades from anywhere with the convenience of a smartphone app. If you forgot to close the shades before heading out or want people to think you’re at home when you’re not, control your motorized shades from afar. 

#4: Protect Furniture and Floors

Did you know UV rays can fade your furniture and flooring over time? It’s true, and motorized shades help slow this deterioration down. Program your shades to block the sunlight during the brightest parts of the day to protect your interiors, giving them a longer life.

#5: Boost Home Security

Create the illusion of someone being home—something called “mockupancy”—by scheduling your shades to open and close even when you’re away. This layer of security could help deter potential intruders.

#6: Use Your Voice

Lutron’s motorized shades (available at Fuzion3) can integrate with many smart home systems like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, or Josh.ai, allowing you to use voice commands for control. “Alexa, open my shades.” 

#7: Care about Child and Pet Safety

Traditional blinds have cords that pose a safety risk in homes with children and pets, but motorized shades have no cords, making them a safer option. This peace of mind can be invaluable for many homeowners.

#8: Reduce Glare

This is a top reason to invest in motorized shades. When you’re watching TV or working at home, you don’t want to stop and lower the shades when a glare sneaks in. With the convenience of motorized shades, you can eliminate the glare instantly from your chair. 

#9: Customize Your Style

Motorized shades come in a variety of materials, colors, and patterns to match your home’s interior design. Choose a style that blends seamlessly into your home while adding a modern touch.

#10: Increase Property Value

Installing motorized shades is an investment that may pay you back. These stylish, high-tech additions often appeal to buyers and can boost your property’s value.

So, there you have it—ten reasons why you should consider adding motorized shades to your new year to-do list. To learn more about how motorized shades can transform your Newport Beach, CA, home, contact us at Fuzion3 today.
