Low Voltage Cabling & Pre-Wire

October 19, 2026 Networking and Wifi by PJ Windle

Quick answer: Low voltage pre-wire is the network, audio, video, security, and control wiring installed before drywall goes up. AV Advisor NJ plans pre-wire with your builder and electrician, so every room is ready for today’s technology and easy to upgrade later, at far less cost than retrofitting.

The best time to wire a home for technology is before the walls close. AV Advisor NJ provides low voltage cabling and pre-wire services for new construction, renovations, and additions across New Jersey, working directly with homeowners, builders, architects, and general contractors.

A well planned pre-wire costs far less than adding wiring later, keeps equipment out of sight, and makes it easy to add new technology for years to come.

What We Install

  • Structured wiring: Cat6 and fiber for fast, reliable networking in every room
  • Audio and video pre-wire: speaker wire, HDMI, and display locations planned with your design
  • Security and access pre-wire: cameras, doorbells, keypads, and gate locations
  • Lighting control and shade pre-wire: keypad and motorized shade locations
  • Central equipment racks: organized, ventilated racks with power protection
  • Retrofit wiring: careful wiring in finished homes with minimal disruption
  • Commercial cabling: network and AV cabling for offices, retail, and multi-unit buildings

Planned With Your Build Team

We get involved early, review plans, and coordinate with your builder and electrician so wiring is in the right place before insulation and drywall. Every run is labeled and documented, so future upgrades are simple.

Even if you are not ready to buy every system now, a smart pre-wire keeps your options open. Schedule a free consultation and we will help you plan a future-proof home from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I pre-wire my home?

Before insulation and drywall go up. We coordinate with your builder and electrician so every run is in the right place at the right time.

Can you add wiring to a home that is already finished?

Yes. We do careful retrofit wiring with as little disruption as possible, though it costs more than wiring during construction.

What kind of cable do I need?

Most homes need Cat6 network cable, speaker wire, and a few extra runs for future needs. We design and label every run so upgrades are simple.

Plan a Future-Proof Pre-Wire

PJ will review your plans with your builder or electrician and map out the wiring your home needs before the walls close.

I had a home theater installed by the AV Advisor and it came out great. The TV and speakers were set up perfectly and the wires are all hidden. Everything works the way it should and the sound and picture are very clear. They walked me through the system so I knew where everything was and how to use it. I am very happy with the work and would recommend them to anyone!

I had a great experience with The AV Advisor. They really took the time to understand what I needed and designed a system that fit my space perfectly without overselling anything. The installation was smooth, everything works flawlessly, and it’s incredibly easy to use. You can tell they care about doing things the right way. Highly recommend if you want a clean, professional setup done right the first time.
