Hire Your Own Wire
Wiring, one crucial aspect of home or office building that is often overlooked. Either we are happy to leave the wiring to the builder of a space, or we are content with moving into an old space with its existing wiring. Neither is a situation that is very conducive. Why? Because wiring needs vary from space to space and are very specific to one’s requirements. Your lifestyle, your requirements, the state of the building, the kind of appliances you will be running; and many more factors influence the wiring that should be installed. And while we take a personal & keen interest in several other more cosmetic aspects of our spaces – paint, décor etc, we often ignore what is not visible to the naked eye – the wiring.
We surround our homes with the best possible quality products. If it is electronics, we use Sony, Samsung, Apple and a slew of other world class brands for our entertainment needs. When it comes to other appliances like heating & cooling, it is no different. We use the best possible brands like Hitachi for cooling and heating purposes. The same kind of importance ought to be paid to the wiring as well – the best quality, for the safest and longest lasting results.
It is therefore strongly advised that we take personal charge of the wiring. Hire your own workers, buy your own wire, and get the wiring done as per your exact needs and requirements. What does this do? In simple terms, it makes the wiring Structured. Unstructured wiring always stands the risk of being hazardous. And at the very least, it is inconvenient. Only you know what part of the room you will want to place the TV in, or what section of the dining area you will want the microwave to
be put. All this and more will determine the ideal way of wiring the space, so that potential disasters can be avoided.
These are some of the basic advantages of doing your own wiring:
i) Custom Wiring – With all of the cables running back to the Central Wiring Panel you have easy & individual access to each cable, and you know exactly what cable governs what appliance.
ii) Simple – Easy understanding and access means smooth repair & maintenance.
iii) No splices – Splices can pickup noise and cause interference. Avoid them by doing your own wiring.
iv) Consistency & Quality – By being in charge of your own wiring, you use only the best quality wires & cables so that not only are you and your family safe, your signals, be it information, entertainment, tele-communications, or power; are all trouble free and strong.
It is crucial that wiring be given its due importance. Because at the end of the day, you want a space that not only looks good, but is sound from the inside. And that can only happen when you take control of the wiring!
