The Brooklyn-based home service company spotlights connected devices that can make 2026 greener and more efficient

BROOKLYN, Dec. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning, a family-owned home service company serving Brooklyn and Manhattan since 1906, recommends homeowners give the gift of smart home technology to themselves and their families this holiday season.

"Smart devices are no longer simple gadgets," said Michael Petri, owner of Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning. "They are practical tools that help protect homes, increase comfort and lower utility costs. Whether it's a smart thermostat, a leak detector or a connected water heater, these upgrades offer real value and peace of mind."

Petri said smart home adoption continues to grow as homeowners see the benefits of automation and remote access. This technology provides residents with security, comfort, convenience and energy efficiency by allowing them to control system devices through an application on their smartphone or other networked device.

He recommends several technology upgrades that can help homeowners start the new year with improved efficiency and protection, such as:

• Installing smart leak detectors: Early leak detection can prevent costly water damage. Smart sensors send instant alerts to a cellphone when moisture is detected.
• Upgrading to a smart thermostat: These devices learn household routines and adjust temperatures to maximize comfort and energy savings.
• Installing a connected water heater: Smart water heaters offer diagnostic alerts and allow homeowners to manage temperature and energy use remotely.
• Adding smart valves for whole-home protection: Automatic shutoff valves can stop the flow of water when a leak or burst pipe is detected.

"Smart home technology is an investment that pays for itself," Petri said. "These systems give families the tools to stay safer and more comfortable throughout the winter, all while helping prevent unexpected repairs, lowering utility costs and reducing a family's carbon footprint."
