How High Tech Is Your Home?

If the latest technology or entertainment options are important in your new home, add the following questions to your buyer’s checklist.

• Are there enough jacks in every room for cable TV and high-speed Internet hookups?

• Are there enough telephone extensions or jacks?

• Is the home prewired for a home theater or multi-room audio and video?

• Does the home have a local area network for linking computers?

• Does the home already have wiring for DSL or other high-speed Internet connection?

• Does the home have multizoning heating and cooling controls with programmable thermostats?

• Does the home have multi-room lighting controls, window-covering controls, or other home automation features?

• Is the home wired with multi-purpose in-wall wiring that allows for reconfigurations to update services as technology changes?

• Visit the Consumer Electronics Association (www.ce.org/techhomerating) for a complete Tech Home^™ Rating Checklist.
