Rely Less on HVAC with Automated Window Shades 

With scorching hot summers and occasionally chilly winters, Dallas residents often rely heavily on air conditioning and heating systems to maintain a comfortable indoor environment. However, this constant need for temperature control comes at a cost: high energy bills and waste. 

According to the Energy Information Administration, the average household in Texas spends over $1,801 annually on energy bills, with a significant portion of that attributed to heating and cooling. Wouldn’t it be nice to use that money towards something else—a vacation, perhaps? Not to mention the environmental impact that energy consumption causes. Fortunately, there is a solution that can help you stay comfortable while saving money and reducing your energy—motorized shades.

Learn how motorized shades from smart home brands like Lutron can help your Dallas-Fort Worth home save energy automatically. And if you’re ready to bring motorized shading to your home? Contact Texadia Systems here to learn more. 

A More Comfortable Way to Illuminate Home 

Imagine waking in the morning, and rather than struggling to wake up in your stuffy, dim bedroom, your window shades automatically raise to let in the bright morning sun. You don’t even have to press a button—they’re scheduled to follow your routine. 

Later in the day, as you work in the home office and the sun starts to lower, all the right lights brighten to a comfortable glow. Your home’s lights shift to a cozy, golden hue in the evening, helping you wind down and prepare for sleep again. 

With a smart lighting control system, you’re never stuck with just one shade of white light. And it’s not just about aesthetics—lighting control also enhances your overall well-being and mood throughout the day. How? Let’s find out.

How Team Rooms Are Changing the Conferencing Experience 

If you’re looking for video conferencing solutions that work for hybrid teams, maybe you’ve come across or heard about Team Rooms. So what are Team Rooms, and how do they work?

Microsoft Team Rooms (typically stylized Teams Rooms) are purpose-built meeting room systems that enable seamless collaboration and communication. These rooms are equipped with high-quality audio and video devices that sync to your conference calls, making virtual meetings feel like face-to-face interactions. 

With Microsoft Teams Rooms, you can easily host meetings, share content, and collaborate with your team. Whether you have team members in different states or cities who can't physically attend the meeting or you simply want to enhance your meeting experience, Microsoft Teams Rooms provide an all-in-one solution.

Let’s look a little deeper at Teams Rooms to see how they’ll benefit your Dallas, TX, business. And if you’re ready to bring Team Rooms technology to your meeting rooms? Contact Texadia Rooms to get started. 

Acoustic Treatments Aren’t One-Size-Fits-All 

We’ve seen it happen many times. A business renovates its office or commercial space, thrilled about the new windows, glass walls, or open layout—only to realize it’s reverberating with echo and reflections. 

Whether conversations are bouncing off the walls or you’re trying to stage live performances, acoustics are an essential component of design. But as rooms vary in width, height, and wall materials, each space requires different acoustic treatments. Foam or fiberglass wall panels may suit some rooms but won’t work in a glass-walled conference room, for instance. 

Let’s examine how various business spaces can improve their sound with acoustic treatments. And if you’re looking for acoustic treatments in the McKinney, TX, area? Contact Texadia Systems here. 

There’s an Easier Way to Manage, Update & Replace AV 

Is your Dallas-Fort Worth business still investing in expensive audiovisual equipment and replacing it every few years? That means someone on your staff needs to find a way to sell old equipment and order and install new AV. And if anything goes wrong with your technology, it’s your business’s responsibility alone to repair or replace it. 

That isn’t the case with AV as a Service (AVaaS), the new, modern approach to commercial AV. Rather than purchase your AV hardware upfront, AVaaS is a subscription-based model that provides access to the latest technology without the need for large upfront investments. Instead of purchasing equipment outright, businesses can simply pay a monthly fee for access to AV equipment and services.

Bright Ideas for Home Lighting Design

And you can do the same for your Southlake, TX, home! Here’s why partnering with an integrator is the smartest thing you can do for your home’s lighting design. Ready to learn more? Contact Texadia Systems here. 

Make Life Simpler (Not More Complicated) with Smart Home Control 

More people than ever are curious about smart home solutions. But if they aren’t careful, they can be led astray by DIY smart gadgets. It seems fun and easy to order a smart thermostat online and then purchase a few smart bulbs and speakers. But it’s less fun when you realize every device has its own app or remote to control it. 

Instead, you want a connected ecosystem that syncs all your solutions into one platform. From one app, remote, or touch panel, you have complete control over your security, entertainment, comfort, and more. 

Learn how smart home control works below, and contact Texadia Systems in Dallas, TX, to start your home upgrade today!

Hybrid Meetings & Presentations Don’t Have to Be a Headache 

It’s a problem plaguing offices nationwide: ghost conference rooms. As hybrid work grows in popularity and we rely more heavily on technology, many businesses find it easier to join meetings individually online. With half the staff working hybrid and half in the office, conference rooms are left unused. 

But in-person meetings still offer incredible benefits. In the office, people are more likely to voice their opinions, open up, and find solutions they may not have otherwise. Your office’s conference rooms don’t have to go unused—you may just need to make your systems more user-friendly. 

Here’s how you can improve the meeting experience with more strategic conference room audio-video. And if your business is in the Frisco, TX, area, contact Texadia Systems to install these solutions today. 

Bring Flexibility & Scalability to Your Texas Company 

Technology is always evolving. And although the latest AV solutions seem like the epitome of progress, there’s no knowing how technology will advance in the future. The conferencing systems, video displays, computers, and controllers you install today will likely fall behind in a matter of years. 

Even if your business has the latest and greatest tech, you need to continually purchase new devices as you scale and expand. New staff need computers and conference rooms, and it’s time-consuming to order new parts and install everything yourself. 

Thankfully, one way to future-proof your business and ensure it adapts to changing needs is by subscribing to AV as a Service (AVaaS). AVaaS is a subscription-based plan that allows enterprises to access audiovisual technology without the need for upfront investment or the hassle of maintenance. 

Let’s explore the advantages of AVaaS and how it can provide the flexibility and scalability needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving market.

Motorized Shades That Perfectly Fit Patios & Porches 

Wouldn’t it be nice to spend more time outdoors? Rather than eating breakfast at the kitchen table, what if you brought it to the patio or porch? Instead of working remotely in the office, you could bring your laptop into the fresh air of the backyard. 

This often seems like a great idea—until mosquitoes nip at your ankles, direct sunlight burns into your forehead, and your patio seat is covered with pollen dust. 

Thankfully, there's a way to enjoy the comforts of indoor living in the great outdoors, and that’s with outdoor motorized shades. With a tap of a button, you can lower light-filtering shades that make your space more enjoyable while still enjoying fresh air and nature views. 

Draper is one of our preferred partners for outdoor shades, and we specifically appreciate its FlexShade ZIP model, which uses an automatic ‘zipping’ feature to keep shades secure. Here’s why Draper outdoor shades and the FlexShade ZIP design stand out among other shading products on the market.

The new space is a full demonstration center that empowers visitors to experience Ketra tunable lighting and motorized blinds with a press of a button—transforming the room’s atmosphere. 

Why A Home Lighting Control System Is Worth the Upgrade 

Lightbulbs have largely functioned the same way for nearly one hundred and fifty years—ever since Thomas Edison first invented them. Sure, colored light bulbs emerged, followed by fluorescents and spiral CFLs that use less energy. Still, all lightbulbs worked the same as always—you screwed them in, turned on a light, and that was that.  

That is, until the LED light. With LED lighting, suddenly you can remotely control the appearance and atmosphere of your home like a magic spell. LED lights can be intelligently controlled to adjust their brightness and color and can even be managed in groups or as a whole system. 

Upgrading your home with an LED lighting control system has proven to enhance both comfort and efficiency in many ways. Read on to find out how.

Designing Audio Systems for the Great Outdoors 

Imagine you’re about to head into the backyard or onto the patio. Even though we’re in the middle of winter, soon the weather will grow warm and you’ll want to bask in the spring sunlight. With a tap of a button by the door, music starts playing throughout the lawn. Or you reach for your phone and select a playlist or podcast that suddenly fills the air. 

You don’t need to lug out a portable speaker, pair it with Bluetooth, and crank the volume any longer. With a weatherproof, outdoor audio system permanently installed on your property, music is always readily available. 

But you may be wondering, how are all these speakers going to look among my landscaping? Will it detract from the natural beauty outdoors?

If you’re concerned about how outdoor audio might interfere with aesthetics, here’s how we can incorporate landscape design to maintain your beautiful Dallas home. It’s best to begin the installation process now so your audio system will be ready to enjoy during those beautiful spring days!

Unite In-Person & Remote Workers with A Digital Workplace System 

To stay ahead, most businesses are constantly searching for ways to improve productivity, collaboration, and efficiency—and we’re sure your business isn’t any different. One such solution that has gained significant traction is the implementation of a digital workplace. 

What exactly do we mean by a “digital workplace”? It’s not just using technology—a digital workplace is an integrated platform that combines various tools, applications, and technologies to provide employees with a centralized hub for their work. Even if your company meets in person, a digital workplace goes beyond a traditional office space and enables individuals to work seamlessly from anywhere, at any time.

The digital workplace empowers organizations to adapt to the modern era of remote and hybrid work. With the rise of cloud computing and advanced communication technologies, businesses no longer rely solely on physical offices to conduct their operations. Instead, they can leverage the power of a digital workplace to create a more flexible, efficient, and connected work environment.

Here’s how Texadia Systems can help your Dallas business adapt to a digital workplace. And if you’re ready to implement these solutions? Contact Texadia Systems here. 

Tailoring AV Solutions for Any-Size Meeting Space 

Video conferencing is already an integral part of how we conduct business. With more employees and clients working hybrid schedules, it’s an expectation that every company can efficiently and quickly join video calls to collaborate. 

But we’re still seeing a lot of companies lagging behind in the video conferencing department. Some businesses have video conferencing systems set up, but people aren’t using them. Why not? Could it be that the setup in place doesn’t actually work for the space?  

Video conferencing in person can be a challenge; getting everyone in-frame with clear audio is not an easy feat. However, a custom integrator like Texadia Systems can help your business implement video conferencing solutions to succeed. We install and program conference room audio-video systems tailored to your space and needs. 

Let’s examine how different-sized conference rooms call for different AV solutions. And if you’re ready to get started? Contact Texadia Systems to discuss your project today.

A Guide to Smart Home Living with Motorized Shades 

When most people think of a ‘smart home,’ smart bulbs or speakers are likely the first devices that come to mind. As wonderful as these solutions are, we’d argue no smart home is complete without motorized shades. 

Once people experience the convenience and simplicity of motorized window shades, it’s hard to imagine returning to regular roller shades, drapes, and blinds. 

Let’s explore the numerous benefits of motorized shades and delve into how automation can save time and enhance the home all day long.

The Texadia Systems Guide to Backup Home Energy 

Here in Dallas, we all remember the Great Texas Freeze of 2021. Millions of people were stuck without power or heat for days, and many experienced burst pipes and disaster at home. 

Since then, more Texans have been cautious about relying solely on the grid in the future. If the power goes out, there’s no way to know when it will turn on again. Will it be only a few hours of chat around the candles, or will it stretch into days like last time? 

So, as winter weather approaches, we’ve seen a surge of homeowners interested in backup home generators. But we shouldn’t wait for an emergency to purchase a generator. By then, there will be a rush of other people who also want one, and stores will be sold out for months. 

By thinking ahead and ordering a home generator, your house will be prepared for anything. Here’s how home energy storage works and will protect your Dallas, TX, home. 

If you’re ready to install a home generator, contact Texadia Systems here.
