Reduce Energy Costs, Improve Lighting, And Enhance Any Room

Here’s How the Professionals Install Weatherproof Audio

Lake Tahoe is all about outdoor living. As summertime approaches, wouldn’t it be nice to spend time in the yard with family and friends while high-fidelity audio sings through the air?

Most people bring a Bluetooth speaker outside when it’s time to listen to music. But what if the speaker isn’t charged? Or if your phone won’t connect? If you’re hosting a get-together, visitors might not be able to hear your patio speaker over at the pool. If you crank the speaker, those close to it won’t be able to hear each other talk.

Maybe it’s time for another approach. Just like a multi-room audio system, you can bring music across your outdoor spaces with a professional installation. Read on to see how an outdoor sound system works and will enhance your Lake Tahoe, CA-area home.

Supercharge Your Internet Connection with Wires, Switches, and Upgraded Firmware  

Unless you live in an apartment or tiny home with only a couple of devices, you’re going to need an internet upgrade! Larger houses with computers, smartphones, smart TVs, and automated devices send and receive a lot of data. Wi-Fi dead zones and dropped connections are frustrating to no end, but luckily, you aren’t stuck with a subpar internet forever.   

A custom systems designer, like Hood Branco, installs home networks that reach every corner of your home. A professional home network installation is much more involved than plugging in a router, but the benefits are hard to miss.   

If you’re tired of poor Wi-Fi connections in your Lake Tahoe, CA, home, discover how our approach to design and installation will enhance the way you work and entertain.  

All the Ways Lighting Automation Can Elevate Your California Living Experience  

Light is the silent actor in every scene of our lives. We need it to work and to play, to read and study. It follows us where we go but sometimes escapes us. It can be too bright or too dim, and the color of it can affect our moods. For ages, we've used artificial light in our homes when we could not experience the sun's natural rays, and it's served us well. But now, in the time of home automation, we can take this modern convenience a step further with automated lighting controls and elevate our living experience in our Granite Bay homes even more.
