Frequently Asked Questions About Ottawa Audio Installation
How long does a typical whole-home audio installation take?
Most residential installations in Ottawa homes complete within 1-3 days depending on system complexity. Pre-wiring during renovation can be completed in one day, while retrofit installations may require additional time for fishing wires through existing walls without damaging paint or finishes.
Do ceiling speakers require special permits in Ottawa?
Electrical permits may be required for new circuit installation to power amplifiers and smart speakers. Fire hoods are mandatory in Ontario for ceiling penetrations in habitable rooms. Our certified electricians handle all permit requirements and inspections – you don’t need to worry about the details.
Can audio systems be installed in older Ottawa homes?
Yes, we specialize in retrofit installations for heritage homes in areas like the Glebe and Westboro. Wireless options minimize wiring requirements in challenging older construction. We discover creative solutions that maintain historical character while adding modern audio functionality that customers expect.
What’s the difference between Sonos and traditional wired systems?
Sonos offers wireless streaming and multi-room control through smartphone apps, making it easy to play different music in different areas or stream the same music throughout your house. Traditional wired systems may offer higher fidelity for dedicated listening rooms. Hybrid systems combine the best of both approaches for ultimate flexibility – you’re not limited to just one line of products.
How many speakers do I need for good sound coverage?
This depends on your space and preferences. Two speakers can provide excellent stereo sound in smaller rooms, while larger areas benefit from ceiling mounted speakers or multiple in wall speakers. Our assessment process helps determine the optimal number and placement so you don’t pay for more than you need or end up with coverage gaps.
