In the 2020s, there are a wide variety of smart home features available, and according to a recent survey, more than 82% of renters are willing to pay more for a property if it has the smart home features/devices that they want, especially if those devices can help them to lower their carbon footprints as well.
If you’re unsure of which smart home devices you should add to your rental property, this article will offer you several tips for the devices you should consider.
Smart Home Security
The first smart home devices that you should choose should be smart home security devices like doorbell cameras and smart locks.
These devices are more important than ever before because crime has been on the rise in recent years, and tenants like the feeling of safety and security that comes from being able to secure their rentals from their smartphones.
Smart Home Utilities
Besides home security, some of the other smart home devices that you should consider for your rental property include devices that your tenants can use to lower their monthly utility costs including:
· Smart thermostats
· Smart plugs
· Smart water sensors
· Smart light bulbs.
Smart Home Appliances
Obviously, smart home appliances are a bigger investment, but if you’re willing to go the extra mile to complete your smart home upgrade, some of the appliances you should consider include a smart washer/dryer, electric range, and smart refrigerator.
It’s also important to note that smart home products rely on Wi-Fi so you want to make sure that your rental property either has different wi-fi connections, or different frequencies throughout the rental so that the property’s smart home devices will respond and operate as intended.
