See it in motion

Your whole home, on one timeline

Drag through an evening on a real install. The shades track the setting sun, then the pool, spa, fireplace, and lighting come alive on schedule — thermostat holding steady the whole time. Set it once; the house handles the rest.

What you get

Climate that thinks ahead

Smart thermostats with presets and schedules — cool the bedroom before sleep, ease off while you're at work, never argue over the dial again.

Motorized shades

Raise, lower, or tilt individually or in groups. Shades follow the sun automatically — blackout for movie night, glare-free for the home office.

Pool & spa on demand

Start heating the spa from the dinner table. Pool and spa control folds into the same app as everything else.

Fireplace at a touch

Light the fireplace from the couch — or make it part of your "Evening" scene along with the lights and music.

Sensors that disappear

Flush-mount, paintable temperature sensors read each room accurately without a plastic box on your designer wall.

Comfort that saves energy

Shades blocking afternoon sun and schedules trimming runtime mean a Houston summer that's easier on the AC — and the bill.

Good questions

Asked before every climate & shades project

Do motorized shades work in existing windows?

Yes. Battery and wired options fit existing frames, and we handle measurement, fabric selection, and installation. New construction lets us hide wiring completely, but retrofits look just as clean.

Will this actually lower my energy bill?

In Houston, yes — solar heat gain through windows is a major AC load. Shades that track the sun plus climate schedules routinely trim summer usage, and you'll feel the comfort difference immediately.

How are motorized shades powered?

Two ways: discreet battery motors that install with no wiring at all, or wired shades for new construction and remodels where we can hide the power completely. We'll recommend the right mix window by window during the comfort audit.

Can the shades and thermostat work together on their own?

Yes — that's where the magic is. Shades drop automatically as the afternoon sun swings around, the thermostat eases off while you're out, and one "Goodnight" scene closes the house down. You set the routine once; the house runs it daily.
