No. Each home is built with Smart Neighborhood features, but they may differ in style and offerings based on the individual builder’s and/or community’s design plans.

Smart homes are all about convenience, and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to get set up. We will conduct a personal on-site orientation to help you set up your smart home and provide you with a guide that explains your smart home features. Additionally, you will be given online and phone support if you have questions about your smart home devices and appliances.

Plug-in electric vehicles are environmentally friendly and can save you in fuel costs. In addition, EV drivers who are also Alabama Power customers can enjoy a discounted rate on their power usage during the EV charging period of 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Go here to learn more.

The components of your smart home have been carefully selected for durability and performance. As such, they are covered by manufacturer’s warranties.
