A whole house smart shut off valve is an innovative device that can provide peace of mind and potentially save you from costly water damage. These valves use sensors to detect leaks or abnormal water usage anywhere in your home’s plumbing and can automatically shut off the main water supply to prevent flooding.
Some models also allow you to control the valve remotely from a smartphone app, so you can shut off the water even if you’re away from home. The pros are clear – avoiding the headache and expense of major water damage from a burst pipe or malfunctioning appliance. You may even get a discount on your homeowners insurance for installing one. On the downside, these valves aren’t cheap, often costing several hundred dollars. And while generally reliable, no technology is infallible so there is some risk of the valve shutting off your water accidentally. Overall though, for many homeowners, especially those in flood-prone areas or with past water damage issues, a whole house smart shut off valve can be a worthwhile investment for added security and protection against the elements. It’s the kind of device you hope to never need, but will be very glad to have if and when you do. So what is your opinion on one of these? I have currently installed the Yolink auto shut off valve at my house with the sensors. All is working as supposed to so far. If you are interested in one for peace of mind. Give us a call.
