[size="+3"]Why Structured Wiring?[/size]
Structured wiring is a relatively new area for the residential construction industry as a whole.
Having said this, we are placing an additional emphasis on educating end users as to the advantages
and benefits of having a home that is wired in this fashion.
Allow me to explain ...
When searching for your next home, you probably wouldn't even consider buying a house without indoor plumbing
or central heating. A few years from now, the same reasoning may apply to homes without structured wiring.
But what is it? Structured wiring provides the ability to interconnect PCs and printers throughout the home which allows file sharing,
and permits information to be sent from a PC in one room, to, say, a printer in another.
It also allows for the distribution of Television, VCR and DVD programming throughout the home, allowing you, for
example, to watch a DVD movie in your bedroom, even though the player is hooked up to the TV in your Family room or Den.
But the importance of structured wiring goes far beyond what it allows you to do now.
If your home already has a structured wiring system in place, there will be no need to re-wire when adding new systems,
services, or other electronic devices. Your home will already be wired to accommodate any additional cameras, telephones,
PCs, televisions, even devices that haven't yet been invented.
Ideally, the best time to install structured wiring is during the construction of a new home.
The benefits are obvious: You will be able to decide where wall ports and wiring should be located.
Even more importantly, though, pre-wiring a home avoids the added expense and hassle of disturbing the dry wall,
base boards, etc. when structured wiring is installed after the home has been finished.
