New Home Construction Made Easy
Building a home is a massive project. It’s necessary to get so many different people involved that sometimes the little things can get lost. At Professional Residential & Office Services Inc. it’s those little things that we love to focus on.
We like to ask questions like: How many outlets would you like in this room? Where would you like them to be? Do you want outlets outside? Would you like outdoor lighting? Will you install a surround sound system in the future? Do you plan on setting up a wired or wireless computer network?
That’s just the tip of the iceberg, but we won’t bore you with a thousand questions now—that’ll come later. For now, here are a few things to get you thinking about the electrical system in your new home and what kind of things you might want to do with it.
Electrical Outlets
The quantity and placement of electrical outlets can completely transform a room. It’s important to put thought into the layout before deciding where you want your outlets to be. If outlets end up hidden behind bookshelves it can make them completely useless, but if you have too many that are out in the open: it can be ugly.
As qualified electricians, Professional Residential & Office Services Inc. has installed outlets in countless homes in the region; we can help advise you on several possibilities. We’re also very familiar with local building codes and follow them very closely, that means installing grounded outlets in your home.
In bathrooms, we can install ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets; which help guard against electrocution if you accidentally drop your hair dryer into the bathtub. At the slightest imbalance of electrical current, the power will be cut off to that outlet. It’s a great system that has saved countless lives since it was introduced.
Home Audio Installation
There’s no better time to install a home audio system than during the construction of your home. Like the electrical system, it’s always best to thread the cables and wiring through the walls and that’s easiest before the walls are up!
This is especially true if you want speakers that are built right into the walls. For a Hi-Fi surround sound system that needs many cables, get them out of the way and hide them behind your new walls.
Home Theater
Like audio systems, there’s no better time to install a home theater system than during the construction phase. That’s when you can easily get the cables in behind the walls and construct the necessary outlets that can manage the data cables you’ll need. Of course, we’re not talking about installing a TV or projector before putting the walls up; however, the cabling can be a complicated job and it’s a lot easier before the walls are built up.
Electrical Inspection
During a home building project, you are busy working on a hundred things at once. It’s possible that something could have been improperly installed. Before moving into your new home call Professional Residential & Office Services Inc. for an electrical inspection. We can identify any electrical issues that may cause you problems in the present and the future.
