Whether you’re in the market for a new home and efficiency is your priority, or you want to upgrade your property to make it more efficient, you’ve likely considered adding some smart technologies. Indeed, things like smart thermostats and home monitoring systems are exceptional tools for managing your energy use and lowering your utility bills. Tools like these are fantastic for making your house a more convenient place to live while also reducing how much you pay every month for heating, cooling, and other utilities. But there are plenty of other ways to make your home smarter and more efficient.

If you’re interested in ways to make your property smarter outside of smart thermostats and home monitors, look into how your outlets and ceiling fans are running. These things are under almost constant use in the home, and they’re easy to ignore. However, they can be a major drain on your home’s efficiency. Thankfully, this problem has been addressed through the invention of smart plugs, advanced power strips, and powerful ceiling fans.

Smart plugs take your wall outlets that are so easy to ignore and make them a source of exceptional energy savings. Basically, smart plugs can be linked to an application on your smartphone. You can then see how much energy you use, which lets you know whether you need to adjust some consumption habits or better manage how you use your outlets to save some energy and money.
