Wiring for Your Man Cave
Are you dreaming of the perfect man cave? Stop dreaming and start planning. Whether you have a huge space or a small one, with SESCOS help you can transform that garage, basement room or shed into a cozy hideaway for yourself and your friends.
Game Night
Television: A big-screen TV is a must. Invest in a good sound system to get full enjoyment of the game.
Games: A pool table is a classic element in a man cave. An old-fashioned card table comes in handy for playing poker or chess. Stack a collection of puzzles and board games on a shelf. Hang a dart board on the wall.
It’s electric: Establish a charging area where you and your friends can charge your electronic gaming devices. A SESCOS electrician can get that set up for you in no time flat.
Can you handle it? Can your house handle all this additional electrical load? Ask your SESCOS electrician to give you some pointers on the best way to ensure reliable, safe electricity to your newly-outfitted room.
Food and Drink
Bar: Your bar will be the centerpiece of any man cave, whether it’s a simple shelf with a couple of bar stools or an elaborate, marble-topped counter that seats 10. To get the most out of it, consider adding an ice maker and a portable dishwasher.
Grill: You’ll be cooking with an electric grill that lets you whip up steaks, chicken and other goodies from the comfort of your own man cave.
Chill: A refrigerator to hold your beer, wine, and soft drinks is another must. If you’re a wine buff, a specialized wine chiller is a great investment that will keep your wine fresh in every season.
Are you ready? Refrigerators, grills and wine chillers will all need to be securely wired for electricity. Let your electrician know if you’re planning to add any of these items to the room.
Lights, Camera, Action
Indoors: Ask your SESCOS electrician about wiring to set up recessed lights, which will add a sleek, uncluttered look to your room. You might also want hanging lights over your bar or pool table.
Outdoors: If your man cave lets out onto a patio or deck, install outdoor lights so that you can take the party outdoors in nice weather. If your cave has a separate, outside entrance, bright outdoor lighting will make it easy for your guests to find and help them feel safer.
Make it easy for yourself. Ask SESCOS about using long-lasting LED lights both indoors and out. With LED lights, you’ll never have to worry about changing the bulbs. Best of all, energy-efficient LED lights will slash your energy bills.
Get Ready, Get Smart
If you want to make the most of your man cave, talk to SESCOS about smart automation that will let you set up the perfect get-together. With a smart hub and home automation, you’ll be able to:
- turn on the lights and the music in your man cave, and adjust the settings on both;
- turn the television on and tune it to the right channel when the game starts;
- let guests in without having to go to the door;
- know that food delivery has arrived even if the music is drowning out the doorbell;
- automatically adjust the thermostat depending on how many people are in the room;
- and much more, all from your phone, tablet or laptop.
