Keeps your building safe and secure
It is crucial that you keep your building safe and secure. Your tenants, employees, and/or customers will expect it. Low voltage systems are the primary aspect of a commercial building that you can invest in to ensure its security and safety.
Security systems, access control, and video surveillance will ensure that your commercial buildings are secure. Most commercial buildings have lots of valuable items in them — whether that be expensive equipment, inventory, or anything else that must be protected. Low voltage systems will protect what’s inside your building and keep anyone you want away from getting inside.
Systems such as fire alarms, DAS, paging systems, security systems, and test inspections will ensure that a disaster is recognized immediately, and once it is recognized that first responders will be able to do their job once they get to your building. This is not only the right thing to do, but necessary for most commercial buildings.
A modern building is a valuable building
Anyone buying or leasing a commercial building does not set out to find an outdated building. Most are going to want a modern commercial space that has up-to-date systems, construction, and features.
While many aspects of your commercial building are what they are, one part of your building that can be updated and kept up-to-date are low voltage systems. New systems run more efficiently, look better, are more effective, and will keep your space protected more thoroughly than old systems. It also shows any potential tenant or buyer that you are staying on top of maintenance and taking safety seriously.
Old low voltage systems (or none at all) will only give tenants or potential buyers reasons to not want to be in your commercial building and make them question how safe your space is.
Buildings kept in code will pass inspection
It probably goes without saying, but your commercial building will need to be kept in code to have any value at all. While this does seem like a low bar to clear, you’d be surprised at how many commercial property owners don’t know what is needed to keep their commercial space above the board.
While these rules can be complicated, working with a low voltage contractor such as Low Voltage NW will help you understand how to keep your building in code and work with you to provide the best possible solutions for your situation. Further, we can provide recurring inspections at any interval you want to make sure that you continue to stay above the board no matter what regulation shifts or change of business you experience.

A better deal for a buyer
Everything you don’t provide in your commercial space a new owner or tenant will have to pay for. So if you don’t provide something they need, that makes your commercial property inherently less valuable.
If you’re selling or leasing your building and find that the other spaces you’re competing against have low voltage systems that yours does not, the new owner or tenant will have to consider that investment as part of the deal. This is going to affect the amount they are willing to pay you. By investing in low voltage systems, you’ll incentivise them to pay more for your building and increase the value of your space.
Investments in your building will always pay off
Part of owning an investment property is maintaining the investment. Nothing is going to stay in its ideal “new” shape forever, so you must be constantly adding value to keep it whole.
Whether it is a low voltage system, repaving the parking lot, or investing in a new HVAC system, investments in your commercial property are not only going to increase the value to maintain it at a high level, but are necessary to ensure that the value doesn’t plummet.
Less risk of catastrophic damage to your property
One way to destroy the value of your property is to have a catastrophic accident or incident happen to it that could have been avoided. Whether it is a fire, a damage or loss of property from an intruder, or anything else that could happen, doing all you can to ensure that a catastrophic event does not happen is crucial.
Low voltage systems will help ensure that your property is kept safe and that the risk of catastrophic events happening is greatly reduced. While insurance may mitigate some of the costs of such an event, avoiding damage and property loss will keep everyone safer. It will also reduce the possibility of a headache and huge repair and construction projects that could have been avoided.
