Incorporating new technology into your home can be exciting. It makes the area feel more advanced and provides extra convenience and personalization. Just like every other part of your home, your garage deserves some high tech updates too! We’ve compiled a list of the top technology updates to put in your garage.
- Smart Locks
Smart locks have been becoming increasingly popular as people find the joy of locking their house at a press of a button. But you can also install smart locks for your garage, which allow for you to control your garage and security from your phone. This is a great way to upgrade your garage from standard to high tech.
- Climate Control
It can actually be a great investment to install a climate control system in your garage. Your car and your other stored items can still get damaged in your garage if they experience extreme temperatures or moisture problems, which can cause rust and mold. Maintaining the atmosphere in your garage can help reduce the need for expensive repairs and extend your car’s life.
If you’re someone who likes to work in their garage, it is also nice to have a temperate environment to work in. You wouldn’t have to worry about being in an excessively hot or cold garage for hours. A climate controlled garage will give you peace of mind about your possessions and also give you a comfortable place to work.
- Robot Floor Cleaners
Most people don’t think about cleaning the floors of their garage. But why take the time to clean it yourself when you can have a robot vacuum or floor cleaner do it for you? It always feels very high tech to have something do a chore for you purely for the sake of convenience. But robots can be practically beneficial, as well as a fun addition to your space.
- EV Charging Stations
If you have an EV, like a Tesla, Hyundai, or Kia, it can be very inconvenient to plan a time to stop along the road and charge up. Not only this, but it can be anxiety-inducing to think about range and plan for when you’ll be able to get to the next station. Installing an EV charging station in your own garage is extremely practical and convenient to enable that you’re fully charged and ready to go at any point.
- Solar Power System
Not only are solar powered things great for the environment, they are also a practical, high tech update to any home. Having a solar powered garage has substantial benefits. It saves energy, is cost-efficient, doesn’t cause air pollution, is extremely durable and long-lasting, and requires little to no maintenance. You can use the power for your garage lights, charging system, and garage door.
- Epoxy Floors
Standard concrete garage floors are a thing of the past; getting an epoxy floor coating is the way to go. It looks sleek, is durable and customizable, and improves the lifespan of your garage floor. The smooth, mottled look is quick to install – only taking a day – and can resist a lifetime’s worth of wear and tear. Combining both the practicality and aesthetics of an epoxy flooring, this is a high tech garage update that you’ll want to get. Call Garage Floor Masters today to get it installed!
- CNC Machine and 3D Printer
If you are someone who likes high tech projects, then putting a 3D printer or CNC machine in your garage is a great investment. You can produce endless creations from your 3D printer, and a CNC machine can perfectly cut, drill, and carve your metals, plastics, and wood for any use. Having this technology in your garage is a great way to add to your workshop and get good use out of your space.
- Smart Sound System
For work done in the garage, it’s best done with some good music playing. Invest in a smart sound system, or connect your house’s current one to the garage. This will allow you to play your favorite songs at the touch of a button, using app control or voice assistance to adjust volume and track selection. You can access podcasts, music, or radio stations from any streaming platform, turning your work time into an epic experience.
- Voice Assistant Integration
Along the lines of having a smart sound system, there are few things more high tech than commanding your room through just your voice. A voice assistant in your garage can not only play audio, but also help out around the space, like open or close your garage door, monitor lighting, have motion detection, or set up alerts. Consider some popular systems, like Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant.
- Wi-Fi Extender
Having full internet access anywhere in your home, including your garage, is needed for the best, high tech home. No more holding up your phone trying to find a signal – wi-fi extenders will ensure that you have full bars and access to the internet in the corners of your garage.
