Home Network Setup

Home network setup requires technicians with the breadth of experience of our highly-trained staff. Setup is complex so that you have ease of operation. This is not a job for your nephew who is a computer enthusiast. This is a job that also involves information technology experience; an understanding of telephone systems; wired and wireless connectivity know-how; routing and distribution proficiency and knowledge of retro-fit or new construction installation.

What is your goal – useful – fun? You can have both!
A home network setup is a workhorse -- your hard-wired or wireless solution for private, high speed internet access; for telephone extensions; for file sharing, media streaming, remote access and printer sharing. But, a computer network is not all work and no play (or it would be a dull….). Your family will enjoy connected play of online games, either by console or PC.

You can maximize the potential of a home network setup with many other functions:

Security cameras connected for live streaming or recording in the event of intruders
Home security system including remote silent alarms, warning lighting and streaming video to an off-network computer
Internet controlled heating and cooling thermostats (turn off or on, or change its program. This can be a real energy saver!)
Internet controlled lighting (for security and energy savings)
IPTV (internet protocol television) TV and broadband share the same home internet connections
Remotely check whether a door is locked or unlocked and control it remotely

Home network setup usually involves our crew installing some kind of “hub” or distribution panel where all wiring comes together. There is a server of some kind. This equipment can be tucked away in a utility area or closet. We design and install a structured system of wiring and cables, plotted to the rooms you want wired and the machines you want to serve. Your functional network configuration can be retrofit by our wiring experts using attic or basement wiring routes. In new construction we travel through the walls and studs as with any electrical wiring. It never hurts to wire more rooms than you initially intend to connect, to allow for growth in connected locations later on. Many homeowners choose to have additional digital storage installed during home network setup.

We are certified CompTIA A+ and CompTIA iNet+ installers. This means our staff has completed comprehensive training in IT, wiring, networking and all of the skills and trades that go into home wiring and technology installation. With all respect to our electrician colleagues, some are artists with copper wiring and not always well-versed in coax and Cat5 wiring, which requires special handling, not just “pulling wire”. One pinch or sharp turn and you no longer have a safe and reliable system. It’s important to know the distance to keep between power and network lines to avoid interference. In short, you want our professional specialization.

Home network setup gives you the foundation to organize and distribute technology throughout your home. You may begin with computers and printers, telephone and gaming, but with an existing home network you can add audio distribution, control of home theater, and the ultimate in connectivity – home automation. An affordable investment in networking for your home sets you up for a future of adding technology and putting it to work to enhance your lifestyle.
