Back to reality?
When you leave your vacation home, you don’t want to have to worry about its state while you’re gone. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to keep tabs on it remotely so that you can feel confident knowing that everything is still in good condition while you’re away from your second home.
Unless you’ve discovered the secret to teleportation, being in two places at once isn’t possible yet. But if you’ve discovered the power of monitors, you can receive information from two places simultaneously.
Temperature monitors help measure how hot or cold any room in your vacation home might be. As you spend time inside your second home, you can easily adjust the temperature by changing the settings on the thermostat, opening windows, or plugging in a fan. But what happens when you’re not physically present?
You could ask a friend to check on your property for you and leave them the spare key. As lucky as you would be to have a friend like this, it can be taxing for a person to check your house daily. And it wouldn’t be practical for them to give you daily updates as things can change quickly inside your home.
Monitors create a 24/7 avenue directly from your home to your smartphone. So before you return back to reality, you can set your thermostat at the desired temperature and use your monitor to confirm that the temperature stays at the level you set. Otherwise, imagine what could happen if the temperature went too high or dropped too low.
When you purchase a monitor, you’re investing in your vacation home. It has the power to prevent temperature-related damage by informing you about internal changes in real-time.
When the temperature drops too low, especially during the wintertime, pipes can and will freeze. Even worse, they burst and leave you with an unexpected bill to pay. According to Home Advisor, the average price to fix a burst pipe is about $500. However, depending on how bad the damage is, your location, and the types of pipes used in your home, the price can skyrocket up to $3,000.
Do you know what’s better than paying $3,000? Having a monitor that prevents your home from getting colder than you want.
On the other end, when temperatures rise too high it can also cause issues. “Not only are warm temperatures potentially dangerous to people and pets but to soft surfaces like drywall” too. ”As temperatures increase, humidity often does” as well, “causing things like drywall, door and window frames to retain moisture.”– As stated by AirReserv.
In the same way that frozen pipes can be costly; repairing drywall can also cost you a pretty penny. According to Home Garden Guides, the prices to fix drywall with water damage range from $70 to $400 on average.
Make sure you have access to your home remotely through an app on your phone or tablet. Most monitors will send alerts to your devices, but most monitors also run on wifi. Which isn’t inherently bad, but it also doesn’t help you when there are electrical issues.
Do you know how bad power outages are in the US? The International Business Times states, “The United States endures more blackouts than any other developed nation as the number of U.S. power outages lasting more than an hour have increased steadily for the past decade, according to federal databases at the Department of Energy (DOE) and the North American Electric Reliability Corp. (NERC).”
Luckily, when the power goes out, your cellphone service stays connected. And there is always protection when things are predictable. Knowing that you can have a monitor that always sends alerts, keeps you from ever feeling alarmed.
As a homeowner, you’ve probably invested your time and money in creating a beautiful home that makes you feel comfortable. Therefore it’s essential to make sure that you have access to your vacation home remotely through an app.
Our MarCELL monitor allows you to connect up to 9 different devices that can receive notifications based on your customized settings.
This allows for 8 different people, other than yourself, to be aware of any potential costly situations. At the same time, it takes the burden off of 1 person who may already be preoccupied with their personal life. Having a circle of trusted friends and family members brings out the unique features of MarCELL.
When the power goes out, so does the heat or AC. On top of this, your fridge and deep freezer start to warm up as well. The FDA says that an unopened fridge will keep food cold for about 4 hours and an unopened freezer will roughly keep food cold for 48 hours if it’s full.
On the more severe side, your home’s safety could be compromised as its security system and motion lights would no longer be functioning. The only way to keep your vacation home safe is to let a monitor become your eyes and ears.
Monitoring your vacation home remotely allows you to check on its conditions regardless of where you are at any given time—and this includes checking for leaks! You can do this by keeping an eye out for devices that monitor a house’s environment as well as detect humidity and moisture levels (as well as other things).
MarCELL offers you support, reduces anxiety, and allows you to know your vacation home’s vitals at any time of the day. Are you interested in equipping your residence with a monitor that has a cellular advantage?
