How High Tech is Your Hawaii Kai Home
If the latest technology is important to you, think about the following options and add what you will want to your checklist before you remodel or look for a new home:
1. Are there enough jacks in every room for cable TV and high-speed internet hook ups?
2. Are there enough telephone extensions or jacks in the home?
3. Is the home prewired for a home theater or multi-room audio and video?
4. Does the home have a local area network (LAN) for linking in-home computers?
5. Does the home already have wiring for DSL or fiber or cable high-speed internet connection?
6. Does the home have multi-zoning cooling controls with programmable thermostats?
7. If you are buying an older Hawaii Kai home, are there enough fans and cross-through air flow if you can't install central air conditioning?
8. Does the home have multi-room lighting controls, window-covering controls, or other automated home features?
9. Is the home wired with multi-purpose in-wall wiring that allows for reconfiguration to update services as technology changes (as it will)?
10. Have you studied all the in-home automated features available and know you have chosen what you want and need for the forseeable future?
This is just a short list, but as technology for the home advances, you will want the amenities to keep up and the resale value to be there for the next buyer. Visit www.hightechhomemag.com for the latest in products and services.
