We all know smoke detectors save lives, but did you know you can make them even more effective by having an electrician install hard-wired smoke detectors? This particular kind of smoke detector works the same as the traditional battery-powered detectors that you typically find in homes. However, the major difference is the fact they are connected to a home’s main power supply. An electrician in Beverly Hills will need to take care of the installation process. At The Electric Connection, the staff is familiar with these kinds of jobs and can get them completed in a timely manner.

One of the key benefits is the fact the hard-wired detectors are all interconnected. When one detector is activated, the rest of the smoke detectors in the house will sound the alarm. This means no matter where you are in the house, as long as you have a hard-wired smoke detector on each floor, you will hear it. Fires that start in the attic, basement or garage can go undetected for minutes or longer because the smoke detector isn’t heard in other parts of the house. With detectors that are all linked together, you don’t have to worry about this. Even if you are downstairs watching television, you will still know when the smoke detector in the attic is going off.

This can save lives and potentially prevent excessive damage to the house by giving you a precious extra few minutes to call for help. Beverly Hills electrical systems like this require certified electricians to install. This ensures the smoke detectors are wired correctly and are not creating another fire risk. In some cases, homeowners insurance will require a certified electrician completes the install. If you would like to learn more about hard-wired smoke detectors and what they can do for you, give The Electric Connection a call today.

Are you thinking upping your home technology game? If you’re a movie buff, sports fan or video game expert, having a home theater system can give the experience of being in a large movie theater without having to leave your home. You can stream your favorite movie without the hassle of waiting in line for tickets or having to sit in a crowded theater. Your home theater can be as comfortable as you want for those weekends of binge watching a new TV show or playing that video game you per-ordered. Check out these three benefits of home theater systems:

If you’ve been planning a Star Wars marathon with your family or friends, having a home theater will take you to a galaxy far, far away and immerse you into the epic space battles that will make you feel like a kid again. You can drastically change your movie-watching experience from a typical hangout in the living room to a movie night experience. After a long week of work or school, your family can unwind together by selecting your favorite film and relaxing in your pajamas.

Owning a home theater system is a must for sports enthusiasts. You can invite your friends over every Sunday and watch the game on a huge screen with surround sound. Rather than watching the game on a regular TV in the living room, you could be lying in front of a high definition television that will make you feel like you are inside the stadium.

Playing your favorite video games on the big screen can enhance your game-play experience. You can journey with Link throughout Hyrule and immerse yourself in the vast expanse of landscapes that video games create. Beautiful imagery and the surround sound effects that are a part of a home theater can completely change how you play your video games. Single-player video games are all about immersion, and there is no better way to get into the game than with a high-quality home theater system.
