About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals.

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on:

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Home Warranty for Your New Condo

Why You Should Get a Home Warranty for Your New Condo

Sometimes your dream home is not always a huge house. For some, less is more. If you just bought a condo for your primary home, you should learn how a home warranty can help your manage your budget.

Why You Should Get a Home Warranty for Your New Condo

Not everyone’s dream home is a big, single-family house, and that’s okay. A new condo or townhouse might be perfectly suited to your needs, especially if you want to live in an urban or downtown setting, or don’t want the headache of caring for a lawn and garden. A condo combines all the convenience of urban apartment living with the independence and freedom of home ownership.

But just because you live in a condo doesn’t mean things can’t go wrong with your appliances and home systems. Your HOA fees might cover common areas and external building maintenance, but you’d be hard-pressed to get the HOA to pay for your new refrigerator. That’s where a home warranty from American Home Shield® comes in.

Home warranties aren’t just for single-family homes. Condo and townhouse owners can also benefit from them, too. A home warranty offers you some financial protection from unexpected breakdowns and failures of many components of your home’s systems and appliances. It also takes some of the hassle out of scheduling repairs because you just have to place one call to get a contractor out to diagnose and fix your issue.

You Never Know What Can Go Wrong in Your Home

Your home is a machine. It’s made up of dozens of complex systems and appliances, each of which is itself made up of many moving parts. Your heating and cooling, electrical wiring, plumbing and home appliances all work together to help make your house safe and comfortable.

When everything’s working smoothly, you barely even notice these systems and appliances at work. But when something breaks, you definitely notice. Suddenly, your house is freezing or too hot, or there’s water everywhere, or your refrigerator has stopped running and there’s nothing to eat. You can’t predict when something like this will happen. All you can know for sure is that it will happen.

 

There’s Never a Good Time for a Breakdown

No time is a good time for something in your home to unexpectedly break. But it seems like home systems and appliances always fail at the worst possible time. Record-setting heat wave? That’ll be the week your air conditioner dies. Having everyone over for Thanksgiving? That’ll be the day your sink gets clogged or your garbage disposal kicks it.

A Home Warranty Helps Protect Your Budget and Your Home

One of the most frustrating things about dealing with an unexpected breakdown is the fact that it can deplete your emergency fund or force you to rearrange your budget to accommodate the cost of repairs. That’s where a home warranty can be a huge help.

What does a home warranty cover? Coverage can vary widely from one provider to the next. At American Home Shield, we offer coverage for components of up to 21 of your home’s systems and appliances. Systems we cover include heating and ductwork, air conditioners, electrical, doorbells, plumbing, water heaters, central vacuums, ceiling fans and smoke detectors. Appliances we cover include refrigerators, ranges, clothes washers and dryers, built-in microwaves, trash compactors, dishwashers, built-in food centers and freestanding ice makers. Now, we also  offer our customers optional electronics warranty coverage for TVs, laptops, tablets and more.

You can choose to cover just your appliances, your home systems, or for the best value, you can cover both with our combo plan. We cover items no matter the age and we don’t require maintenance records. 

Having a home warranty makes it easy to plan for repairs to be done if something does break down in your home. When a covered home system or appliance breaks down, simply place a call to American Home Shield, and we’ll send one of our professional network contractors out to your home. You’ll pay a Trade Service Call Fee when you request service, rather than paying the full retail cost of the replacement or repair. Plus, you can request service by phone or online, 24 hours a day.

Having a home warranty makes it much easier to plan financially for unexpected repairs and replacements. Moving into a new house is always financially stressful – you’ve paid closing costs, acquired homeowner’s insurance, paid for movers, and maybe even bought new furniture and appliances. Be prepared for unexpected breakdowns and repairs. Help protect your budget and your new home with a home warranty from American Home Shield.
