An Aging-in-Place Smart Home makes the home easier and more comfortable to live in as needs change. Pathway lights come on automatically at night, lights and shades respond to voice, family can let in visitors remotely, and relatives can get a simple daily note that the day looked normal. Pfitztech installs and sets it up. It is not a medical or emergency service.

Good to know
This is a convenience and comfort system. It is not a medical device, a fall-detection service or an emergency response service. In an emergency, call 911. For medical alert services, speak with your health care provider.
Pricing
Every job starts with a free on-site assessment. You get a fixed-price quote before any work starts, and most services can begin as a 30-day paid pilot so you can see results before committing to anything ongoing.
Frequently asked questions
