Hassle-Free Home Technology Service in Hawaii

Your home in Hawaii should be a place of relaxation and enjoyment, not a source of stress over malfunctioning technology! Especially if you’re only on the islands for part of the year, your home automation system must work when you arrive. However, sitting idle for months at a time isn’t good for any technology, and by the time you return, you could face a host of frustrating issues that make it hard to immediately find your peace. That’s where the Control Freaks Proactive Membership steps in—keep reading to learn more.

Why DIY Smart Homes Fail and How Professionals Can Help 

Everyone's talking about smart homes these days. From motorized shades to AI-enabled cameras, people want tech-forward homes. Most people first getting interested in smart home technology opt for a DIY approach. It seems easy enough and offers lower upfront costs. But too often, these solutions fall short in reliability, convenience, and support.

That's where professionals like us come in. You get a system designed just for you, installed perfectly, and supported every step of the way. And you're still able to integrate all your go-to smart home devices.

Instead, let the experts take care of everything so you can kick back and enjoy all the benefits of a truly seamless smart home experience—no headaches included.

3 Often-Neglected Rooms to Include in Your Distributed Audio System

COFRHA_September-Blog-2_Distributed-Audio-Kaanapali-Hi_Photo

Don’t Leave These Spaces Out of Your Whole-Home Audio Setup!

Many times, when people talk about distributed audio, they are referring to a multi-room setup that transmits sound to common areas, home theaters and bedrooms. Even if your audio only reaches a few spaces — your living room, media room, upstairs entertainment area and primary bedroom, for example — you’re still not getting end-to-end, whole-home audio.

Ready to take your AV distribution to the next level? We suggest adding sound to more rooms, even some that many homeowners bypass during their initial audio installation, like the recommendations you’ll find soon. Curious? Read on to learn more!
