Today we have Anthony Elbaum - owner of Cableman, an award-winning customised home and business installation company of home technology and automation.
More and more homes are now being equipped with hi-tech gadgetry that are either portable or wired into the home. Technology can date as quickly as you buy it, but some things actually add value, create comfort and give you the opportunity to live your lifestyle the way you want. Anthony Elbaum is going to talk to us about what buyers are looking for when checking out the technology in your home.
Founding director and owner of Cableman, Anthony Elbaum is one of Australia's most experienced and awarded home technology and automation specialists. Anthony was a Communications Technician in the Royal Australian Navy for 10 years, and is now, the successful business owner of Cableman. He also works as an active and passive director of several real estate developments, so he knows exactly what people want in their homes.
1.When it comes to typical automation in your home, you're looking at security systems with surveillance, app driven climate control, cabled internet and networked screens. But some go as far as automated window furnishings and sensor or app-driven lighting and music systems, is there anything else that seems to be popular as we go into the 2020s?
2. What technology is becoming more acceptable in our every day Australian homes?
3. When people look to add technology into their home, what should they be looking for in terms of how they live their lives, and how they will recuperated the money at re-sale?
4. Typically, what type of buyers are wanting hi-tech gadgetry when they look at purchasing a new home? How is that changing from say 10-15 years ago?
5. Over 50s generally have more disposable income, and want the best they can buy, what are the 50-plus age group now wanting in their homes?
6. Now that we are almost out of Covid-19, have you seen an on-surge of people wanting new technology in their homes? What are they wanting?
7. What type of home-needs can be controlled by an app?
8. If you want to smart-wire an existing 4 bedroom home, what would we expect to pay for heating, cooling, window furnishings, lights, television, gas fireplaces, security, outdoor spas, garden lighting and irrigation, to all be automated?
9. 10-15 years ago, people were spending $15,000 to pre-wire a home with CAT-5 cabling, for hard-wired internet throughout the home. Then Wi-Fi became popular, and people were saying cabling was a waste of money, or was it? As people get more screens in their homes, Wi-Fi has it's own limitations, so are we making a comeback to hard-wired cable? Has it become cheaper? Is it better to do it when you build a home, rather than try getting it through an existing home?
10. What building materials make it hard for people to access Wi-Fi?
11. What are the more extravagant automation requirements a client has asked for?
12. How should we be choosing our technology supplier? How should we be reading the quote when we receive it?
13. Do you see particular technologies becoming mandatory in brand new home builds in the future, similar to how water tanks or solar hot water became mandatory with the energy efficiency initiative?
