2. Better Functionality
Consider for just a moment one of today’s SMART kitchens! Many appliances can now be controlled remotely from a single app on your mobile phone. Many working mothers like to place a frozen casserole in the SMART countertop oven so that it has the entire day to defrost, keeping it a ‘safe zone’ as far as food safety goes. Then, at a given time, just before leaving their place of employment they can take out their mobile phone and communicate with that appliance.
You can set temperatures and times so that by the time you arrive home, dinner is piping hot and ready to be served. How is that for convenience?

Not only are they seeking energy efficiency, but most are families just like yours with jobs that keep them away at least 5 days a week. If you are going to modernise your kitchen, don’t scrimp on having SMART appliances installed such as that under-the-counter dishwasher or that multi-function oven installed over the stove.
Happily, you just might not want to list your home on the market just yet because of all the pleasure to be had in your newly renovated kitchen. From SMART appliances to that kitchen island you’ve always dreamed of, you will feel like you are in a totally new home, finally living in the 21st century. How is that for living?
