How smart is your home? Connecting operating systems and appliances to a smartphone, tablet or laptop allows easy, convenient control of your home’s functions at the touch of a button. From high-speed internet and DISH-TV to video doorbells and remotely controlled thermostats, Bettendorf-based Galaxy 1 marketing offers a full range of smart products to make its customers’ lives simpler.
“Every household is different,” said commercial sales manager Chris Boer. “Some homeowners might want smart locks for their doors; others are looking for a hub to integrate all their systems for whole-home automation. We want to hear your story first, and then we can advise you on the best smart home products for your specific needs.”
According to recent studies, home security is the top reason homeowners choose to invest in smart home technology, with 14.6% of American households now using video doorbells. With the holiday season quickly approaching, there’s no better time to protect your home, your family and your belongings.
“Smart home security is a rapidly growing market,” Boer said. “Our customers want to make sure their homes are secure and their technology solutions are up to date.”
To that end, Galaxy 1 sells Google Nest video doorbells and security cameras appropriate for indoor and outdoor use.
“It’s important to understand the connectivity capabilities throughout your house when you’re purchasing smart security cameras,” Boer said. “We offer Google Nest router systems and run speed tests to make sure we’re not just meeting your needs on the security side, but also on the operational side to ensure the whole system works effectively.”
Locks that allow homeowners to control a deadbolt through a digital code entry are another popular smart home product, eliminating the need to carry a key or to hide one somewhere outside for family and friends who might need access to the home. While you’re at it, you might want to consider adding on a Nest Protect smart CO2/smoke detector for an extra safety feature.
From a home entertainment perspective, Galaxy 1 is a DISH premier retailer and specializes in installing everything from surge protectors and HDMI cables for better viewing to full surround-sound systems by Polk Audio.
“And we offer television mounting services including management of all the wires to create a clean visual aesthetic,” Boer said.
As a Google Nest retailer, Galaxy 1 also carries Nest Thermostats, giving customers control over their home’s heating and cooling systems through smart devices from any location.
“These thermostats provide a cost savings because you can optimize your home’s energy consumption,” Boer said. “And since MidAmerican Energy and other providers offer rebates to customers who install smart thermostats, there’s an immediate money-back benefit.”
For the ultimate control, Galaxy 1 can install whole-home integration solutions managed through a Nest Hub or Nest Hub Max. The company prides itself on providing outstanding service after each sale, training homeowners to use their product purchases and giving them the tools they need to be successful.
“Everything we sell always includes professional installation by one of our trained technicians, so you know it’s set up correctly,” Boer said.
