From thermostats and cameras to doorbells, door locks, alarms, and more, home automation continues to connect homeowners. Nest, a home-automation products provider (and the preferred partner of Isaac Heating and Air Conditioning) introduced the ultimate in automated protection against a water catastrophe: LeakSmart.
Having a Smart Home with a LeakSmart device helps protect the home from water leaks. It automatically shuts off the water main in five seconds or less after detecting water.
Better Safe than Sorry
Everyone has heard the horror stories of families who are away on vacation, only to come home to water-soaked kitchens, bathrooms, or basements, because a slow leak suddenly ruptured. Sometimes the damage can be catastrophic – not just from the water itself – but from the remnants of water damage. This can cause mold and other harmful home-safety issues.
LeakSmart is the perfect smart device to help guard against a potential water disaster. The LeakSmart detection device, about the size of a deck of cards, can be placed near the water heater, dishwasher, refrigerator, washer, toilet, and underneath the sink.

In homes with attic air conditioning systems, it’s ideal to place near the emergency drain pipe, as well. This helps to avoid significant damage to the ceilings in case of overflow or leaks. The LeakSmart System connects to the home Wi-Fi and is easily controlled by a smartphone. Simply download the LeakSmart app to receive push notifications, text, or email alerts in case a leak occurs.
One can also integrate the LeakSmart System into your existing Nest app or engage the system with voice commands on Google Home or Amazon Alexa. If Wi-Fi is down or power goes out, the built-in rechargeable battery ensures that the LeakSmart System will continue working.
Isaac and Home Automation
Not comfortable with Smart Home devices and smartphone apps? With LeakSmart or any home-automation product Isaac installs, technicians will take the time to train family members on how to take full advantage of the many features these devices offer.
“The extension of Isaac’s business into home-automation technology is all about helping homeowners meet their increasing need for connectivity, safety, and most certainly, convenience,” said Joe Kruger, VP of Sales and Marketing for Isaac.
Benefits of Smart home technology
“It started with homeowners who were installing and upgrading their heating and air conditioning systems. The move to a new Nest smart thermostat was a logical first step. Once they experienced the benefits of that Smart Home technology, they’ve started to ask for more.”
Every day, they meet with an increasing number of homeowners to explain the available Smart Home technologies and review the benefits – such as safety, security, and convenience. This is all to help clients make their homes more comfortable and improve their quality of life.
