Smart House Wiring Video

Bob talks about the "Smart House" system that will be installed in a house. He first looks at some light fixtures. The recessed light fixtures being used allow insulation to come into direct contact with them. Pete Tim, the electrician, explains that with Smart House wiring there will be an integrated computer system that controls cable TV, communication, appliances, heating and air conditioning, and security. They look at a hybrid branch cable that is used for wiring. Pete also uses some innovative cable stackers that keep the wires in the center of the wall cavity so no one will put a screw or nail in the wire.
