The retrofit market is expanding exponentially; new technologies are making it easier than ever to utilize the existing home infrastructure. Add in the current economic climate and it is easy to see why the retrofit market is gaining popularity among homeowners and ESCs alike. Many professionals in the electronic systems industry are adding retrofit services.

CEDIA can help you learn the best practices in retrofitting with the February 25 Power Hour webinar “Using a Home’s Existing Wiring for Retrofit Installations” available at 12:00 p.m. EST. Discuss and learn about high-quality retrofit installations using existing coaxial cable and Romex within the home.

Adapting to the retrofit market may sound intimidating, but it does not have to be with guidance and education from CEDIA. Offering these services can open a new revenue stream.

Professionals in the design and build industry can also gain valuable knowledge of the retrofit market by attending “Making Home Technology profitable in a Retrofit Market” on February 24 at 12:00 p.m. EST. This webinar will be presented jointly with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and will introduce the various applications home technology has in retrofit projects.

Plus, as an added bonus, both of these Power Hour webinars are being offered free of charge. Take the opportunity to explore this emerging trend.
