To builders and people building:
We recommend that you research the option to have your home properly wired by an audio/video custom installer. There are great benefits to have your home pre-wired. Here are a few benefits to consider: Plan for the future when remodeling or building a new home. It is far more cost effective to wire when the walls are open and wiring is relatively inexpensive. Even if you think there is very little possibility you’d use the wiring, there is a strong likelihood you’ll be mistaken. In addition, the extra wiring will help the resale value of your home.
With a well thought out pre-wire, builders and owners of new homes will be in a great position. During the building process both parties are able to prepare for the future which costs less than retro-fitting an existing home. It is far easier and cheaper to do it during the construction process. Pre-wiring a home alone, can increase the value of a home and can create an added value.
It has become exceedingly popular to incorporate audio/video pre-wire into new homes. In addition you are able to take your audio/video needs in baby steps, adding components as you or your budget allows.
The Benefits
The benefits of pre-wiring are enormous, not only in terms of 'future proofing' the property for new technologies just around the corner, but also maximizing the value of the house by making it more appealing to new buyers' needs.
Conclusion
Texas Home and Leisure would like to offer you a free pre-wire consultation to inform you of the many possibilities. Clearly the major benefit of a pre-wired home for both builders and home owners alike, is that by using this technology, it is possible to free up valuable floor space. Cables can be buried in the wall, while star wiring from each of the rooms back to a central point or hub, allows bulky equipment to be hidden from view, usually on a special rack inside a cupboard. What’s more, with a central hub, it is possible to provide a completely flexible solution, enabling different services, such as home entertainment, security, lighting etc, to be 'patched through' to different rooms. This is particularly important as rooms change use over time. For example, what was once a nursery may well become a home office once the baby has grown up. It is the ultimate in flexible living!
For builders, pre-wiring for the latest integrated technologies is rapidly becoming a necessity. Just as every home buyer now expects central heating, discerning home buyers are increasingly choosing homes that are pre-wired for the latest technologies. The costs of pre-wiring are relatively low, but the benefits to the end user are potentially enormous.
