"The Smart Home features they installed, such as thermostat and door locks, etc. do not always work. For example, the Honeywell thermostat can no longer be operated from our phones and is difficult to install. Remote door locks are also unpredictable."

Merge-Tech, Inc. is a Winston-Salem, NC based company established in 2012. Our business started in 1987 as a local residential alarm company. In 1999 the company was purchased from the original owner and the name was changed to Audio Video One-Home Entertainment Solutions to more closely reflect the company’s primary offerings. As the business grew and changed it became apparent that the name, tag line, and corporate structure no longer reflected the complete mission and Merge Tech was born. This new name closely reflects our mission of “merging technologies” and “bringing it all together”. We are staffed by the most knowledgeable, experienced design and technical personnel in the area. We set the standard!

Home automation services FAQs

The difference between smart home and home automation technology is that home automation is a more comprehensive home control system. It requires more expertise and work to install and set up, but homeowners have greater control over the various areas and functions in the home via their smartphone. Smart home technology is generally easier to install and set up. But it typically needs an internet connection to work as intended, which can limit functionality if there’s a disruption in internet service.

Home automation systems offer a wide range of automation products and services. Some of the most popular options include:

  • Cameras: $35–$350

  • Door and window sensors: $20–$100

  • Doorbells: $100–$350

  • Locks: $150–$400

  • Garage door openers: $150–$500

  • Lighting: $20–$100

  • Speakers: $30–$300

  • Outlets and plugs: $20–$100

  • Thermostats: $150–$300

  • Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors: $50–$150

  • Smart home hubs: $200–$900

  • Blinds: $50–$75

  • Appliances: $50–$3,000

  • Vacuums: $200–$1,200

  • Lawn systems: $80–$300

  • Wi-Fi and Mesh systems: $200–$500

  • Water monitoring: $100–$1,000

Home automation can be worth it if you’re looking for ways to make everyday home operations more convenient and controllable from a single hub integrated with your smartphone. You can select the different features and services you want to automate, ranging from exterior cameras to thermostats, to make this investment worthwhile by only installing services that are relevant to your household’s lifestyle. Plus, home automation can improve home security and eliminate daily inconveniences.

An accredited, licensed smart home specialist should install your home automation system. For example, a qualified smart home specialist will belong to an organization like the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association. Licenses for qualified technicians require the technician to demonstrate experience and pass state testing. If you’re ready to install a home automation system, consult multiple technicians in your area to compare services and prices and find the best fit for your job.

The average cost of a home automation system is around $950, but typically ranges from $200 to $1,700, depending on the brand, system features, system size, home size, and location. The highest-end home automation systems can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $150,000, including smart appliances like refrigerators, dishwashers, and ovens that require installing extensive wiring. Any subscriptions for maintenance services will also impact the cost of a home automation system.
