Is a Smart Home Right for You?

Technology moves fast these days, and the way your home is connected to the internet of things is no different. It seems like we went straight from the personal computer to robot vacuums!

With modern technology, you can automate or even eliminate simple household tasks. One example is indoor lighting. Many homeowners in Los Angeles turn indoor lights on around the same time each evening. You might be familiar with timers, which automatically turn on and off lights throughout the house at certain times. Timers are especially useful as a security measure when you’re away from home.

Technology takes this simple concept to a new level – allowing homeowners to turn on or off lights from anywhere in the world, right from their smartphone. If your handy timer has been serving you well, then you may not need the added functionality of smart lights. But there are some scenarios where a remote connection can be helpful. For example, in the case of a power outage or if you simply forget to set your timer. Smart homes increase convenience as well as your peace of mind.

Some connected home devices, like smart thermostats, take things even further. The Google Nest Learning Thermostat monitors usage over time. It can automatically adjust your temperature setpoint depending on how you’ve adjusted your thermostat previously, whether spaces are occupied, and the time of day. A smart thermostat can make your home a more comfortable place to be, while also reducing your energy consumption by using less power while you’re away. It’s a win-win.

The people best suited for a smart home are Los Angeles homeowners who:

  • Have a smartphone and are comfortable using it
  • Have Wi-Fi internet at their home
  • Want to automate little tasks in life
  • Seeking to reduce energy usage or make home improvements toward a greener home
  • Desire greater control of their household devices
  • Host guests often or operate a short-term rental property

The Importance of a Qualified Connected Home Installer

The benefits of a smart home are clear. But many Los Angeles homeowners hesitate to make the switch because a home controlled via the internet can sometimes feel like you have less control. It’s downright frustrating when apps don’t work or devices don’t connect. Hiring a professional to install your smart home devices ensures a seamless integration of your new connected devices. Brody Pennell is a Nest Elite Pro, which means our team has received technical training directly from the Nest team. Your smart home products will be up and running quickly. So go ahead, put your feet up while we do all the work. You can be confident the installation will be done right by the pros at Brody Pennell.

Juan Molina, my Technician, was very professional. Juan gave my Payne system a through inspection, changed my filter and , clearly explained the condition & limitations of my Payne HVAC system. Which I appreciated. Juan was very professional and personable. Very happy and will be asking for Juan when my maintenance appointments come up! He was a pleasure to deal with. Very conscientious & professional.

We had the pleasure of having Brody Pennell Technician, David Mares, perform our annual Comfort Club heater inspection. David’s review found carbon monoxide levels at the heating units and vent locations. He called his field supervisor, Kyle Rudolf, and requested his presence to further assess our system. Kyle performed a thorough inspection of the heater interiors with a digital borescope and captured images of locations that showed where leakage was occurring. He recommended replacing our system due to its age and explained our options. Both David’s and Kyle’s thorough information, explanations and politeness made our choice of replacing our system an easy one.

The crew of Frank Trejo, Jesus Farias and Edwin Cabra performed our installation. They were extremely diligent about keeping our residence clean and placed protection tarps
along the entire flooring leading to the attic installation entrance. The installation is outstanding and immaculate. Also, the operation of the system was explained at the end of the job. All the crew were extremely polite, and their work was outstanding.

It was a pleasure to have Brody Pennell perform our installation with their great crew. We feel fortunate having such an outstanding company taking care of our HVAC system.

New Review - 3/12/25

Brody Pennell technician Alberto Montalvo performed the service for our heat pump system this morning, 3/12, and did an excellent job. Upon completion, he explained everything that he did and also took the time to show photos detailing the condition of the system. He also provided an option to help prolong the life of our heat pumps. Alberto is extremely polite, knowledgeable and a great asset to Brody Pennell.
Response from the owner:We appreciate your detailed feedback and are grateful for the opportunity to serve you. Our team is dedicated to providing exceptional service, and we're delighted that you had a positive experience with David, Kyle, Frank, Jesus, Edwin, and the rest of the crew. Thank you for choosing Brody Pennell for your HVAC needs!

Response from the owner:Thank you, Anne, for your kind words about David and your recommendation; we appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear you had a positive experience.
Anthony Manzo Daniel B completed an exemplary job. They arrive a little early, walked through the process and I brought them to the roof. They were very respectful of our home with appropriate covers to the floor and transit areas. The installation was spot on, the new is a little smaller and we discussed Brody Pennel minor touch. Given I painted the entire home, I thanked them and noted I complete the touch up. The new a/c is amazing - quiet, purifies the air, changes the room temperature in less than ten minutes and I suspect the energy use will be substantially less because of the attached information. Thank you for Anthony and Daniel. The best!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for acknowledging Anthony Manzo Daniel's great work!
They were polite, professional, and knowledgeable. They showed up on time and were easy to communicate with.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Haley, for your kind words; we're glad you found our team polite and knowledgeable, and we appreciate your feedback on our communication and punctuality.
The technician (Giovanny) was terrific— very knowledgeable about our problem and our complicated heating/AC system. He finished the job quickly and.the charge was reasonable. If we have problems again, this is the company I will call. They have interesting subscription plan that ensures regular maintenance and lower costs in case of trouble. We’re giving serious thought to sign signing up for that.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Art, for your kind words about Giovanny and our services; we're glad to hear he was able to resolve your heating/AC issue quickly and that you're considering our subscription plan for added peace of mind.
Good quick service
Response from the owner:Thank you, Stan, for your kind words about our quick service; we appreciate your support!

May '24 We just had them replace our entire HVAC system at our commercial warehouse and they did a fabulous job. Mike I was very attentive to every detail and to all of my concerns.

They're expensive but they're worth it. 5 more stars!
