WHICH SHOULD YOU CHOOSE: WIRELESS OR HARDWIRED? At Anchor Alarms, Inc., we have been installing security systems for over 19 years. We have installed both wireless and hardwired systems, and have discovered over the years that our wireless customers are much happier. They do not experience the problems associated with a hardwired installation and also enjoy many benefits from wireless features that are not available with hardwired. As a result of this finding, we now install GE Security Pro wireless systems almost exclusively. FINISHED STRUCTURES One immediate advantage of a wireless system is quicker installation, which requires very minimal drilling for wires, and is often completed in one day. Hardwire installations can take several days and necessitate drilling many holes to run wires throughout the building (under floors, over ceilings, through walls, etc.), which adds the risk of damage to existing electrical wiring or water pipes. BUILDINGS UNDER CONSTRUCTION Although hardwire installations during construction do not have to deal with the mess of drilling through existing drywall, there may be other costs and problems you didn't count on. Because hardwire systems require hundreds of feet of wire sealed inside the floors, ceilings, and walls of your new home, there are several wire related problems that could occur. Think about a few of the hidden costs a hardwired system may present: Copyright © 2002 Anchor Alarms & GE Interlogix.
