Supercharge Your Internet Connection with Wires, Switches, and Upgraded Firmware  

Unless you live in an apartment or tiny home with only a couple of devices, you’re going to need an internet upgrade! Larger houses with computers, smartphones, smart TVs, and automated devices send and receive a lot of data. Wi-Fi dead zones and dropped connections are frustrating to no end, but luckily, you aren’t stuck with a subpar internet forever.   

A custom systems designer, like Hood Branco, installs home networks that reach every corner of your home. A professional home network installation is much more involved than plugging in a router, but the benefits are hard to miss.   

If you’re tired of poor Wi-Fi connections in your Lake Tahoe, CA, home, discover how our approach to design and installation will enhance the way you work and entertain.  

All the Ways Lighting Automation Can Elevate Your California Living Experience  

Light is the silent actor in every scene of our lives. We need it to work and to play, to read and study. It follows us where we go but sometimes escapes us. It can be too bright or too dim, and the color of it can affect our moods. For ages, we've used artificial light in our homes when we could not experience the sun's natural rays, and it's served us well. But now, in the time of home automation, we can take this modern convenience a step further with automated lighting controls and elevate our living experience in our Granite Bay homes even more.  

Simplify Your California Home Entertainment System With Centralized Equipment & Distributed AV 

A good movie always has a great soundtrack. If only life could have a soundtrack, right? You may not be able to make music play in the background everywhere you go, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have your own soundtrack at home. Or at least have music streaming throughout it. With a whole-home audio and video installation, you can fill your Truckee home with music and movies any time you want, while keeping unsightly equipment and wires tucked away.  

It’s a new year and time to make those new year’s resolutions. It is a great time to reset and evaluate what matters most to you in life. Reflecting on the last year helps us see what we would like to improve in the coming year and then turn our dreams into actionable goals. Most of us will prioritize our health, wealth, and relationships but may find it challenging to stick with vague ideas in the coming months or even weeks.

That’s why it’s smarter to break those goals down into simple, manageable tasks, so you can slowly but consistently tackle larger goals. You can approach any aspect of your life you want to improve this way, which also goes for your home. If you're going to upgrade, improve your home's system's efficiency, energy, and reliability, you can do all that with an integrated home automation system from a trusted, smart home company.
