Prewire Planning might sound like a daunting and confusing task. But we would like to put your mind at ease with the following overview of the system features included in our Smart Home Systems.
Not so long ago, the majority of homes were wired with little more than the AC electrical power lines, a few phone lines, and a few TV cables. Times have changed. Electrical and security system contractors routinely install low voltage communication cabling for a wide range of smart home systems. Of course, the new technology does still, for the most part, require connection to the same old AC power line. But some unique and highly specific requirements must also be met.
The term ‘prewiring‘ refers to the installation of cables and wires during a new home’s construction. It includes the AC electrical wiring, as well as the low voltage, home systems cabling
Reasons to Pre-Wire your Home?
Future-Proof Your Home
It’s true that we can’t plan for everything the future will bring. We do, however, know what types of wiring will be most useful. Pre-wiring also allows homeowners a little room for growth. Perhaps you don’t want surveillance cameras right now, but with the proper wiring in place you can add them in a snap.
Resale Value
Maybe you’re not an audiophile, but the next person buying your house could be. When buyers are making the tough decision about which house to buy, the home that gives them flexibilty and options for home theater, communications and security needs will show better than non-wired comparable homes.
Hide Wires
Prewiring not only hides cables, it allows you to create a centralized hub. You can stack and store equipment, like AV receivers and amplifiers, in one place. Better yet, you can have it all located in a conveniently located closet or cabinet that is out of sight.
