If you are the type of person that loves form and function equally and tends to like "less is more" as a design ethos, you’ll take interest in this blog.

Some people get frustrated with their audio and video setups. Why? Often, folks add components piecemeal rather than completely replacing a system. The result may be a smattering of different remote controls, cable or satellite boxes, streaming devices, and stereo systems that don’t all work the same way and don’t have complementary features.

Most people's homes are likely setup this way. Perhaps you are looking at a significant remodel or buying a new home.

With the prevalence of smart home devices available today, chances are if you are remodeling or building a new home, smart technology and automation are high on your list of "must-haves" for your new residence.

DIY is certainly an option, but AVL Pro believes you will get more satisfaction and use out of your system with an integrated approach, the type offered by Control4 home automation solutions. Why?

We live in Florida for the sun and mild climate year round—It’s called the Sunshine State for a reason. All that sun is good for soaking up vitamin D and keeping us healthy, but like anything else, too much of a good thing is not always good for us.

Just as too much sun exposure is harmful to our skin and potentially causes other issues, too much sun in the interior of your home also has negative consequences. UV rays can damage furniture finishes and fade rugs and window treatments. Too much heat buildup can cause your air conditioning to work overtime and drive up energy bills.

We can’t control the sun in Bonita Springs, but AVL Pro does have a solution to protect your home’s interior: installing motorized shading. Read on to learn more about what this smart solution can do.
