Provide major benefits to your clients when you engage with us early in your North Fork custom home build





Security • Monitoring • Life Safety • Home Automation • Internet

For years, we've helped North Fork builders plan and install what's now considered a basic necessity--a wired and wireless infrastructure that's ready for a complete home system. One that works seamlessly, no matter what part of the home you're in. 

​

Without that existing infrastructure, your clients will soon discover what could have been avoided--the task of retrofitting their home after the walls are sealed up. Sure, we do a lot of that, too, but here's why it's much better to do it ahead of time.

​

Avoid the common need to rewire and reinstall smoke detectors for insurance coverage

We see this all the time. As part of building a custom home, your electrician installs standard wired smoke detectors as required by local code.

But once the new home is built and your client tries to insure it, the insurance company will likely tell them they won't cover it until they install monitored smoke detectors--the kind that can be  supervised by a monitoring station so the fire department can be alerted even when they're not home. And because these smoke detectors use low-voltage wiring, they'll be informed the wiring will need to be replaced, too. We can help avoid this frustrating scenario by wiring and installing the correct ones from the beginning.

​

Wireless doesn't mean wire-free

Smoke detectors aren't the only challenge new owners of custom built homes typically face when there's not an infrastructure pre-installed that accommodates life safety (security and monitoring), home automation, and Internet connectivity systems.

​

As I wrote about here, a wireless system doesn't mean everything should be wire-free. The power needs of the devices have to be considered. We install a lot of battery-operated wireless devices, but, when possible, we recommend sensors and other devices be powered by wires unless they're in a place where it's just not practical, especially for sensors like cameras, which use a lot of energy.

​

If you contact us during the planning stage, we can create a plan and install into the walls the infrastructure so your client can easily connect a user-friendly, effective, and full-coverage total system they'll most likely choose.

​

Or, even better, offer your client the whole system installation as an upgrade option. We can plan and install the entire infrastructure as well as put in place a state-of-the-art system including an alarm panel as well as all sensors, keypads, and other components so they can simply activate their monitoring, automation, and Internet services after they take ownership.

​

Call us during the planning process and, as other North Fork custom home builders will tell you, your clients will thank you.
