What is Low Voltage Wiring

Electrical wiring and trim that does not carry the same current as power outlets, fixtures, and switches is known as low voltage. Since an open wire does not provide the same risk of electrocution as a regular wire, items classified as low voltage are subjected to less scrutiny during inspections.

In case you aren’t familiar, low voltage systems are made up of electrical equipment that runs on less than 50 volts (V). These are commonly used in homes including garage door openers, home security sensors, among others.

Low-voltage commercial systems include anything from fire prevention, security systems, and up to sound and communication. Here, we discuss some of the options that you should consider in determining which systems best fit your company’s needs.

When Is It Time to Install Low Voltage Wiring?

The majority of the low-voltage wiring will be installed at the same time as the basic electrical. Occasionally, it will come just after basic electrical and can then be completed by the same electrical firm or by a separate low-voltage company. What are low volt items that can be found in homes and in offices? Let’s find out!

Telephones

The number and position of phone outlets are no longer as important as they once were. With the evolution of technology, many of us use cordless phones that connect into the wall now. Even so, it’s still highly recommended to install wall outlets in areas where you might want a computer terminal, such as your bathroom, kitchen, and where you have cable outlets.

Intercoms

An intercom can be extremely useful. Today’s intercoms also include a music player and a radio. It is simple to operate, and each zone of the house can be managed independently. It makes it easier for user to communicate and relay messages quicker.

Security Wires

For many buildings or residences, a security system is almost automatic. Low-voltage wire is run to window and door sensors, as well as motion sensors on the home’s exterior. Any reputable alarm firm can come in and present systems and programs to implement once the pre-wiring is complete.

Internet and Wi-Fi

We can all agree that both large and small networks rely on structured cabling. There is dedicated bandwidth and minimum interference using organized cabling that links devices to a central hub. Even though Wi-Fi is used throughout the house, the network is built on low voltage wiring.

When you’re dealing with low voltage wiring installation, make sure you find providers that are reliable, skilled, and experienced so that cabling infrastructures in your homes and business can even be more efficient and successful.
