We will be using Kohler plumbing fixtures throughout our home.
Since we are both computer geeks, we intend to make our new home high-tech. One way we will do this is by installing a whole-house generator. This will allow us to have electricity, heat, and water even when their is a power disruption. Generac makes the 'Guardian' line of home generators.
AmericanTV will be doing our central vac system and house wiring.
Another high-tech element of our home will be home automation. We will be able to monitor and control our home remotely. We haven't finalized our design yet, but here are a couple sources to learn more about whats available:
