A Prewire Checklist for Your New Home

What to decide, and when, so your new Utah home is wired for the technology you want now and later.

· 5 min read

Start with how you live

List the rooms where you will watch, listen, work and entertain. Wiring follows use, not the other way around.

Cover the essentials

Every home benefits from a wired network backbone and planned access points.

  • Network drops in every major room
  • Access points in ceilings
  • Speaker wire in living areas, patio and primary suite
  • Conduit for displays and projectors
  • Camera and doorbell pulls
  • Keypad and shade wiring

Plan the equipment space

Choose a rack or closet location with ventilation and access. Avoid rooms where noise or heat will be a problem.

Inspect before drywall

Walk the house with your installer before insulation. Confirm labeling and locations against the plan.
