Schlabach Security and Sound, Inc. has expanded its proficiency in the Home Automation and Control

SSS Control 4Schlabach Security and Sound, Inc. has expanded its proficiency in the Home Automation and Control industry with the recent certification of an additional team member in the design and installation of the Control4 system. Ken Van Houten II, home theater technician, travelled to Charlotte, North Carolina to participate in a week long training and testing series to achieve Technician I status.

Control4 gives simple, practical control of music, movies, lights, temperature and security systems from anywhere in the home or anywhere in the world. Clients find the Control4 system reliable and affordable, Schlabach Security finds it flexible. "The system can be installed as part of new construction, but it is just as easily installed in an existing home," states Van Houten. "Times being what they are, most residents of Citrus County prefer to simply upgrade the home they are currently living in to include the latest technology that will simplify their style of living."

Lighting control is one of the easier ways to save energy in the home. Lights can be preset to come on at 80% brightness, for example. They can be turned up, if needed, but save power automatically when extra brightness is not needed. It is also easy to install motion detectors and program lights to shut off when a room is vacant.

The Control4 system allows a family to start off with a basic system that can be upgraded over time with solutions that fit the homeowner's needs and budget. For more information, the Control4 website, www.control4.com, is informational and entertaining. Schlabach Security and Sound has been located in Citrus County since 1995. There showroom is available by appointment and is located at 2181 W. Norvell Bryant Highway in Lecanto. Visit their website at www.sssonline.biz for photos and details.
