When investing in remodeling your vacation home, a client should consider modern technology as one of the most important components to protect your home during the unoccupied seasons. With a WI-FI thermostat, you can monitor the heating system remotely from your cell phone or laptop. This feature will inform you if your heating system has somehow failed, you can get your trusted HVAC contractor to fix the problem quickly before the water or heat pipes freeze and break. This will cause expensive water damage when thawing starts and the pipes start to leak.
