A. Some home
features add value when and if you decide to sell

networks when making their buying decisions. You also

the walls go up.

access?

Q. How do wired houses work with wireless
technology?
A. They go hand

laptop or PDA can be tied into the appropriate
computer ports.

professional rating?

type of work you require. BEI is an electrical
contracting company, licensed, insured and bonded in

A. The wires are
necessary if you'd like to take advantage of the
lifestyle enhancing technologies that are available
today — such as high-speed internet access,
computer networking, multiple phone lines, music
anywhere and home theater. The wires are within your
walls so you don't have to worry about the mess of
installing the wires later.
