Automation and control systems make it possible to open and close the shades or blinds in a home from almost any location . Some systems use a remote control ; others have programmable timers that control the shades . Automated motorized shades provide a number of benefits over traditional window dressings . Comfort and Convenience Comfort and convenience are two benefits of motorized shades especially when they are attached to a timer . Shades can be lowered automatically when the sun hits the side of the home . This prevents rooms from heating up during the day . The shades can also be controlled with a central panel or remote control . This makes it very convenient to adjust the shades throughout the day whenever needed without having to move to every window in every room . Energy Savings Shades attached to automation and control systems will save homeowners money during every season . Closing shades automatically in the summer months keeps rooms cooler so air conditioning can be used less . On cold evenings , closing the shades automatically at night helps when the wind causes uncomfortable drafts in the home . Motorized shades will increase the insulating capacity of the windows , which will lower energy loss and increase the effectiveness of heating and cooling systems . Minimal Maintenance Traditional shades that are moved manually by the homeowner can encounter a number of problems that will require regular maintenance . Shades or blinds can come off the track , which can damage the material . Some shades or blinds can actually become caught in opening or closing mechanisms . This has the potential to damage the shade beyond repair if the components break . Automation and control systems for shades do not rely on physically aligning the mechanisms and materials . The shade will open and close correctly every time without problems . This reduces the need for maintenance over time . Security and Safety The type of shade automation systems that professional electrical services will install can improve the security of a home . Burglars are more likely to attempt robbing a home when it appears no one is home . Programmable shades can work with timed lights to open or close regularly , even if no one is at home or the family is on vacation . The automation becomes an effective deterrent that will keep criminals away . Additionally , motorized shades do not have cords or other hanging parts that can create a hazard for children and pets . Distinctive Appearance Motorized shades or blinds provide a distinctive appearance and atmosphere in the home . They fit the windows better than loose hanging dressings . The typical and sometimes unsightly opening and closing fixtures or cords are not present on automated shades . Since most people do not have motorized shades , they create a unique environment . Opening and closing shades with a remote control can leave a lasting impression on guests . Flexibility Automated shades are more flexible than traditional window dressings when it comes to positioning and functionality . Providers of professional electrical services can install the shades over windows that are too high to reach or in inconvenient locations . The automated controls allow the shades to remain functional whether or not the windows are easily accessible .
