Structured Cabling

As technology advances in our lives like a wildfire, the lines between telephone, computer & television are blurring. The proliferation of the internet, computers and hi-definition TV are bringing together the information highway to our fingertips.

While phone line, power line (your AC wiring in your house) and radio frequency networks are now a reality, the proper wiring in a house allows you to take advantage of the rapidly advancing technology now & in the future. Within 5 years most people will have 3 or more computers in their house and some form of computer will sit in your entertainment cabinet just as prevalent as a VCR and CD are today. The ability to link all of these computers together (and to the internet) and at the fastest speed available, will be contingent on the wiring running through your house.

By making sure your new home is wired to certain specifications, you'll be able to have distributed video and audio for more convenient and compelling entertainment; easier and more powerful ways to share internally and externally sourced data from home computers; energy savings via access to utility pricing signals; convenient access from the home to a host of services, from banks to stores to maintenance; whole house control; and more.

Multi-Room/Multi-Source Audio

Whole House Music: As the simplest and most cost effective system, installing Whole House Music typically consists of an AM/FM 100 watt per channel receiver and several source components (i.e., CD, tape etc). The music is piped throughout the house to several zones each with a pair of speakers a volume control. This type of system allows you to play one source throughout the whole house. Whatever one zone is doing the others must also be doing (or turn it's respective volume control off).

Dual Zone System: Rapidly becoming the most popular we install, a Dual Zone System typically consists of a superior home theatre receiver with several source components (i.e. CD, tape, VCR, DVD, DSS satellite). This system allows one source to be enjoyed in the theatre room while an additional source is piped to other zones in the house. Typically, infrared "eyes" are placed throughout the house to enable remote control of the second zone feed.

Multi-Zone/Multi-Room: At the top end of the price class, Multi-Zone/Multi-Room Systems most often feature in-wall keypads. All zones are completely independent, allowing total access to all source components. These systems allow the user to turn on the system, select a source and control volume from individual zone keypads. The elite of these systems also distribute composite level video to all zones. One zone can be watching a DVD, another viewing a VCR tape, another using satellite and yet another listening to a CD player.

The Secret is in the Sound

Sound triggers the senses in all forms of entertainment. When you're at the theatre, you often forget that you're in a darkened room watching a movie, and your imagination transports you into the middle of the action.

Movie theatres use a combination of high-resolution film, multiple speakers positioned to help recreate time and dimension relationships with the action on the screen, and specially encoded sound tracks that make movement on the screen coincide with the sound you hear. Let Electronic Essentials, Inc. bring that same realistic "theatre experience" to your home.

Central Vacuum

Silent Master. By far the most advanced built-in central vacuum available in the world! Silent Master's patented design is not only the quietest unit on the market, but it also runs cooler than any other unit. With three models to choose from for any size home, you will be assured of full satisfaction. Here are a few reasons to consider a Central Vacuum System:

1. Central vacuum systems totally eliminate the re-circulation of dirty air inside your living area. All the hype about allergens, including dust mites is true! The long term health benefits are amazing.

2. With 3-5 times more cleaning power than most portable vacuum cleaners you get a superior clean in less time. Since the central vacuum is located in the garage or basement it can have bigger heavier motors. This power will give a deep down clean and pick up that thread you usually have to go over three times to pick up. The standard model recommended has an airflow of 185 cfm (cubic feet per minute), compared with 60 to 90 cfm from a portable.

3. As with other built-in appliances, investing in a central vacuum system increases the market value of your home. For less than the cost of the high-end portable vacuum, you can buy a central vacuum and watch the resale value of your home go up around $2,000 when appraised. So, whether your home is already built or under construction, a central vacuum can be installed easily and cost effectively.
