Habitec is ranked No. 60 in the nation according to the top 100 rankings compiled by the Security Distributing & Marketing (SDM), a leading industry publication.

"Installation was problematic in minor ways. They drilled into backsplash tile in my kitchen only to discover later that it was unnecessary, leaving a hole in my tile. But the real problem is in the customer service and monitoring. Last week, I was home alone when a man entered our fully fenced-in backyard. He looked around and appeared to be casing our house. I called the police, who asked for the security footage from our cameras. That is when I discovered both cameras (back yard and behind garage) were not working. Apparently, the backyard camera had been offline for more than two weeks, unbeknownst to us. Habitec did not monitor cameras being offline, and told me that it is my responsibility to check the cameras every day. We are still paying for a security system that frequently goes offline or does not work. Habitec has been awful at making it right. They even tried to charge us a service fee to come fix it. They eventually waived the service fee, but--most importantly--my husband is out of town for the next few weeks, and I'm home alone with a malfunctioning security system and no backyard camera all while knowing that a man trespassed into our backyard and looked around and was trying to size up our house. Habitec has been really unprofessional in its response, even hostile. I would not recommend using them. Most of the reviews on here are of their installation. Ask those same people 12 months later when they have had malfunctioning equipment what they think of Habitec. That's when your problems come. We wanted to like them, since they are based here in Ohio, but the service has been terrible. Acting like we did something wrong just wanting our cameras that we are paying for to work."

FAQs for home automation service projects in Columbus, OH

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.
