Dress up your Switchgear
Fancy switchgear does not have to break the bank, The below switchgear is only a few dollars more each switch to installed as opposed to standard raged switchgear. HPM Life series pictured below looks amazing in new homes as well. The lights around the switches are optional extras but we have found these to be extremely useful to put on switches for outside security lights (so you know at a glance that they are switched on) or in kids bedrooms so they know where the switches are.

Thought about upgrading your lights to LED?
LED lights have become increasingly popular because of the many advantages the fittings have to offer. If you have had down lights before the chances are you have come to know they are a pain in the back side and blow bulbs far more often than they should. The reasoning behind this is not overly complicated at all and comes down to shear heat and poor quality light fittings and or bulbs. The cheap answer to this problem is to put in a CFL (compact florescent) lamp, but this does not suit everyone. CFL lamps do have a very small amount of mercury within them which can be off putting to some but for most people the biggest disadvantage is one of two things:
What are the advantages of LED lights?
- a) They look ugly and stick out of the fittings
- b) They take a few minutes before they reach there maximum brightness.
What are the advantages of LED lights?
- LED lights will save you up to 85% on your lighting electrical power bill

- LED lights are coming out with long life warranties (common warranties are now up to 5 years)
- With the increasing amount of LED fittings becoming available, there is now a retrofit option for nearly any fitting currently installed in your home
- Fully sealed fittings mean no heat loss into the ceiling through your lights

Future Proof your home with a Networking Hub
|
Home Networking
Setting up a network hub is a great way to future proof your home and deliver faster internet to your devices. Having a central location for all your TV, phone and data wiring is not only much tidier but is easily accessible when upgrading or making changes to your devices. Installing a network switch in this hub is a nice way to network your devices around your home. We highly recommend hard wiring your high data streaming devices such as TVs and Desktop devices for optimum speeds. This will mean no more buffering screens midway through a movie on Netflix or three cups of coffee while you wait for the family holiday photos to upload to dropbox. If you can minimize the devices running on Wi-Fi to only smart phones laptops and tablets, then you will have a much more robust network with high speed distributed much more evenly around your home. |
