Systems
When people look at HomeAlive's systems, there are two reactions: The technically-minded types smile and marvel at how well it is thought out; The laypeople just want to close the door to the mechanical room. It seems like a very foreign and complex place for those without a technical inclination. Indeed, there are some unfamiliar components: holding tanks and filters, batteries, strange looking boxes with lights and numbers, cisterns, pumps, and extra wiring and pipes leading to places unknown.
This section will demystify the technologies. Techies will smile. Laypeople will smile, too. These are proven technologies that put less demand on our eco-system and resources such as electricity and water. As homebuyers increasingly seek environmental choices, these systems also contribute to the overall resale value of a home.
