Houston Electrical Contractors for the Home
themovingforwardguy
Basic wiring and electrical outlets prove insufficient to meet the needs of larger or custom-designed homes. Larger homes require dedicated circuits to major appliances and entertainment systems. Most residents of larger homes also prefer to have a lighting control system installed into their residence. Home security is another major consideration of the custom homeowner. Cameras, alarms, and intercom/telephone systems must be wired in such a way to work in tandem with lighting and other home system controls and provide an effective buffer against home intrusion.
Illuminations Lighting and Design not only delivers over 25 years of experience and value in standard electrical wiring, but also offers outstanding levels of quality and customization in advanced electrical installation work.
Homes ranging from 6,000 square feet to 35,000 square feet require advanced electrical installation techniques that involve a much higher number of electrical circuits and sub-panels to safely and reliably power the home. With more power demands, we have to use these advanced wiring and electrical materials to accommodate both safety and reliable performance. Our technicians go to special schools to learn how to do this type of advanced electrical installation work, and their many years of experience in addition to their training makes them an unbeatable and irreplaceable team.
We begin by installing an advanced electrical power source in the mechanical room. This power distribution area functions as the hub of the entire home’s electrical and lighting layout. All lines terminate here, allowing it to direct current to either the entire electrical system or to one or more electrical subsystems. By installing low voltage wire in conjunction with advanced electrical keypads, we enable communication between the power source in the mechanical room and the keypads we place throughout the home. When you press a button on the keypad, or enter a special code, the device communicates with the power source in the mechanical room. At this point, the real magic of advanced electrical installation work begins.
The computer relays your desired request to either a particular electrical subsystem in your home, (say, for instance, your kitchen or bathroom), and turns on the lights in that area. This is one of the main benefits ILD’s advanced electrical installation work delivers to owners of large homes. Coming home to a dark house is inconvenient enough. Coming home to total darkness in a 15,000 or 20,000 square foot home with two or more stories can be dangerous. This is one of the main reasons we utilize advanced electrical installation techniques. Houston is home to many wealthy neighborhoods like River Oaks, Tanglewood, and Royal Oaks where large homes abound. Due to sheer popular demand and the requirements of electrical codes, we had to create a program of installation that accommodated advanced electrical workings and configurations. The result of this evolution became one of our most celebrated and showcased specialties throughout our community, to the extent that we now install these advanced electrical wiring systems in homes throughout all of Texas.
Once work is completed on your advanced electrical installation and lighting system, we then use laptop computers to program the processor that controls your home automation system. Once up and running, advanced electrical installation and wiring technology can enable you to turn lights on in specific bedrooms, hallways, and indoor living room and outdoor patio lights. You can even set timers to turn lights on and off to make it appear that you are at home while you are out on the town, and you can adjust the brightness of lights on independent subsystems to create different atmospheres throughout the home.
If you purchased a home automation system from someone else and are now having difficulties with it, please call us and let us help you. Unlike simple wiring and panel work, advanced electrical installation and wiring technology requires years of special training and should never be attempted by anyone other than a licensed professional. We treat all customers equally, regardless of where they began. If your home automation system has suddenly stopped performing, and your current vendor does not support your needs, we will deploy our specialists in advanced electrical installation work to ensure quality and satisfaction on every level. -
Houston Home Construction
themovingforwardguy
Houston is expected to grow by 3 million people over the next 5 years. Many of these people are moving into higher paying jobs and neighborhoods that afford them the best in style, luxury, and spaciousness in home living. Houston home construction companies are building more custom homes than ever before. They are also realizing that working as a general contractor on many of these homes requires subcontracting certain specialty organizations that can add specific expertise to the finished project. Illuminations Lighting Design offers the Houston Home Construction company a subcontract resource in home wiring, home controls, and home lighting that is multi-dimensional and multi-specialized across the board. Working with ILD can make both the architect’s and the general contractor’s job much easier, because there are several things we can do under their invoice that can fulfill the most robust demands of the particular and eclectic Houston homeowner.
New Home Wiring
Houston home construction companies often require the services of a company with experience in advanced home wiring techniques. Custom homes tend to boast spacious floor plans and ornate interior designs. They also tend to be furnished with very expensive audio-visual equipment and the best name brand appliances. This equipment requires dedicated circuitry to power and protect it from power fluctuations and surges. Home theater and whole house audio, for instance, are rising in popularity and require both dedicated circuits and sophisticated controls be installed-preferably at the time of new home build out. Also, many residents choose to have Lutron lighting controls and home automation networks installed in their new home as it is built. Houston construction companies can contract our new home wiring and home automation team for any and all of these and other similar projects.
Back Up Power Systems
No matter how effective a new home wiring job is performed, we cannot control the municipal power grid or the vicissitudes of Texas weather. Houston home construction should safeguard electrical components and lighting equipment with backup power systems that can not only protect home equipment in the event of a power failure, but also maintain a level of functionality for residents within the dwelling. Whole house surge suppression is the homeowner’s first line of defense against power surges. It protects the circuit panel and the interior wiring from overload in the event of a power surge. If the entire neighborhood suffers a blackout, the home needs a second line of defense – the home electrical generator. We can install any number of generator types and sizes that can power a portion of a home or even the entire home itself for a reasonable period of time until inclement weather passes or the municipal power grid is restored.
Interior Lighting Design
Custom home owners invest in the very best floor plans to live the most eclectic and personalized lifestyles possible. The home is a retreat from the traffic jams and busy pace of Houston office life and therefore something of a sacred sanctuary to the Houstonian. Home construction companies may contract ILD to design and install house lighting systems that make both the exterior of the house and the interior of the living space shine with a special light that is unique to the tastes and lifestyle of the homeowner. Our access to specification grade fixtures of all types and styles, along with proprietary art lighting for paintings and display lighting fixtures, makes us a one-stop resource for any Houston home construction company called upon to develop a lighting design that creates a living experience within private, personal space.
Home System Integration
As the complexities of new home design increase, the many subsystems that make a house a home require both more advanced controls and more integrated functionality. For example, a whole house audio system requires a control network that will not only control the choice, distribution, and volume for the music, but also create complimentary lighting that reflects the mood and tempo of the selection. This is something of a technological integration of sensory experience that requires sophisticated lighting and home theater control systems to be installed and wired properly. Many homeowners prefer a minimum of automation for these controls, choosing to rely upon manual controls to choose their own system settings. Others request that their home construction company build their house with as much automation as possible. In either scenario, ILD home system integration experts can fulfill these requirements under the umbrella of the general contractor.
Landscape Lighting Design
The exterior of most custom homes is very ornate and often reminiscent of earlier historical periods and/or established architectural motifs. The property surrounding the home should reflect this uniqueness as much as possible, and it should also strive to unify architecture as much as possible with the geometry, balance, and aesthetics of Nature itself. Lighting is critical to creating this unity, as house lights and outdoor landscape lights can be balanced and timed in such a way as to create an outdoor living experience equivalent to that within the home. Houston home construction companies that are building new houses on large lots are encouraged to consider our landscape lighting services as a finishing touch to architecture, wiring, and home lighting customization. -
