As home builders ramp up building again, technology is a key feature of many of these new homes. Both high- and mid-volume dealers report that production-housing opportunities are back. With so much new construction technology we know it can be overwhelming. The experts at Spectrum Technology Integrators are here to help, whether you live in Dade or Broward counties.

Even with the boom years behind us, editors at CE Pro say more attention is being paid to outfitting homes with technology solutions. Some of the more popular solutions include security and surveillance systems, home theaters, whole- home music systems, lighting control, motorized shades, and energy management. Other technologies gaining steam include thermostats that respond to real-time utility rates, voice –activated remote controls, and automated door locks.

Before the drywall goes up and the carpet is laid there is a very important installation that takes place; the installation of audio and video capabilities, also known as the pre-wiring stage. It’s the backbone for all things technological in your home. Spectrum Technology Integrators are new construction technology experts from Royal Palm to Broward County. Pre-wiring is done immediately after electrical wiring is installed, and before insulation and drywall is completed. The process takes place before the completion of construction on a remodel or newly built home.

One national industry group suggests that new homeowners budget approximately one percent of their new homes value to wiring infrastructure. While the pre-wire process may not be the most expensive part of the construction process, it is one of the most crucial with regards to technology integration. The experts at Spectrum Technology Integrators can work directly with your builder to design a system that fits your family’s individual needs and takes into consideration available technologies. We’ll coordinate scheduling to ensure that construction deadlines are met.

Sunlight can be just as invigorating at work as it is when you let it shine into your home. At the office, however, it can also create glare and overheat spaces and ultimately decrease productivity…not to mention offering a less-than optimal impression for visiting clients. Walking that fine line between healthy natural light and oppressive warmth used to be a difficult challenge. However, new wireless remote options have recently been designed to optimize comfort and lower energy costs. And when you work with an established professional technology firm like Spectrum, your office shade systems can also be automated and integrated with other controls for additional savings and comfort.

If you were hosting a family reunion or company event at your home, would you be ready for the overflow of guests onto your property outside? Would you be able to provide ambient music through landscape speakers, keep them up-to-date on the game with an outdoor television, or even offer controlled lighting to set the mood while accenting your architecture? If not, Spectrum Technology Integrators can help!

Acquiring your own high-quality whole-home automation system is a tremendous personal achievement; however, there is a “bigger picture” to consider:  Will investing in home automation increase your property value?  The answer is YES!  When residential network control is integrated correctly (most especially during the initial construction), your home immediately advances to a higher value.
