Why Audio Video Equipment Racks are a Smart Investment

Often times we have clients who wonder why they should use an equipment rack to house their Audio Visual equipment.  A lot of times they feel that existing cabinetry should work fine.  The following are some major reasons / benefits to using a professional equipment rack to house your equipment:
  1. It makes servicing your equipment much much easier.  (ever had that speaker that never worked because everytime you pulled your receiver out of the cabinet the speaker cable came loose?)
  2. It allows the installer to properly route cabling to avoid EMI and other potential cross-talk of cabling.  (ever had a buzz through a speaker and you can't figure out where or why it's happening?)
  3. It allows for proper heat dissipation.  (ever had a cable or satellite box burn out?)
  4. It can be build offsite and transported complete to your site.  (keeps techs out of your home... do you really want to adopt a tech?) 
  5. It can be showcased to make your equipment a fancy display.
Built in Equipment Rack.  Easily Serviceable.

Home automation gets cheaper, smarter, easier

The promise of widely available home automation has been around since "The Jetsons" aired 50 years ago. But until recently, smart- home systems have been pricey and complex, typically requiring professional installation. And few consumers have been aware of the availability of such services or haven't been convinced that they needed them. But in recent years, major consumer service providers — including ADT, Comcast and Vivint — have entered the market, helping promote the concept of home automation and make it more accessible to average consumers. Companies such as Comcast and Vivint now offer basic home-automation systems for less than $500 installed. And Lowe's Iris, which is available for about $300 for a full system, is designed for self-installation. "We definitely see that (home automation) is moving increasingly into the mainstream," said Jonathan Collins, an analyst with ABI Research. Read more: http://www.denverpost.com/ci_22649153/is-smart

New home construction down last month

Construction of new homes nudged down slightly in May, with builders pulling back in the Northeast and Midwest. Housing starts ticked down 0.3 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.16 million units, the Commerce Department said Friday. The government's residential construction report can be volatile on a monthly basis, which might explain the slight decrease. Home construction has improved much of this year, with single-family houses accounting for much of the gains unlike recent years when developers focused more on apartments.
