Smart Controller Upgrades

Smart Controller Upgrades

Weather-aware irrigation for Sacramento homes.

Replace outdated timers with smart controllers that automatically adjust to Sacramento's microclimates. Our most popular model connects to local weather stations, skipping watering after rare Sacramento rains and increasing duration during heat waves. We program zones based on sun exposure patterns specific to your neighborhood - crucial for homes with south-facing yards in areas like Greenhaven that bake all summer.

The installation includes training on the mobile app, with customized alerts for freeze warnings (important for Citrus Heights citrus trees) and drought restriction updates. We'll migrate your existing schedule while optimizing run times based on current Sacramento County water regulations. Many clients see a 40% reduction in water use in the first season.
