About Peters Audio Video
Retrofitting technology into plaster-and-lath is its own discipline. Peters Audio Video handles structured wiring and mesh coverage through masonry and dense framing, lighting control that hides behind period switch plates, discreet in-ceiling and outdoor audio for porches and patios, theater and media rooms, and camera and access systems for in-town lots.
What home technology involves in plaster-and-lath construction
Most Plaza Midwood houses were built long before structured wiring, and their plaster walls, dense framing, and brick chimneys block both cable paths and wireless signals. Home-technology work here is planned around the building: cable routes through the crawl space and attic, wired access points so Wi-Fi reaches the back of a long bungalow, lighting control that fits behind period-style switch plates, and speakers that disappear into ceilings and porches. The quiet goal is that the house still looks like itself after the installation, with equipment concealed and visible hardware chosen alongside trim and lighting.
Questions to ask any integrator before hiring
Ask whether the integrator will survey the house — panel capacity, attic and crawl access, existing low-voltage runs — before quoting. Ask what is proprietary in the proposed system, who holds the programming and passwords at handover, and what support costs after installation. Ask how they protect plaster and original finishes when fishing wire. Low-voltage work in North Carolina falls under the State Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors, so confirm the appropriate license, and make sure any line-voltage electrical work is done by a licensed electrician under a Mecklenburg County permit.
Sequencing technology with renovation
The cheapest time to wire an old house is when walls are already open. On a renovation, low-voltage rough-in should be scheduled with the electrician, before insulation and plaster or drywall repair, so cable paths, keypad locations, and speaker positions are fixed while access is easy. Electrical service often needs attention first; older panels in the neighborhood are frequently near capacity before new loads are added. For houses that are not being opened up, wireless lighting control and carefully placed wired access points can deliver most of the benefit with far less disturbance to original finishes.
How the network works together
The most expensive failures in old-house projects happen at the handoffs — between the purchase decision and the scope, between builder and designer, between the finished house and the systems nobody planned for. These four firms work the same neighborhood and coordinate from the start, which removes most of that friction.
