CE Pros Want to be ‘Green’ Installers

integrators_green_researchA staggering 87% say they’ll offer alternative energy products within three years.

Have you started harnessing solar energy in installs? Many of you expect to.

The results of this study by EH Research are somewhat predictable — but encouraging nonetheless.

CE pros were asked about the prospects of them selling and installing energy-efficient products such as energy dashboards, solar/photovoltaic panels and wind turbines. An overwhelming number envisions that they will very soon. For instance, 87 percent of those surveyed say that will offer alternative energy products and/or energy management and monitoring systems within three years.

The positive answers to these questions should probably be taken with a grain of salt. It’s kind of like if your friend tells you that he recently took up mixed martial arts (MMA) training, and that he lost 10 pounds and feels more energetic.

If somebody then asks you if you’ll take up MMA training in the next three years, you’d probably answer in the affirmative. Would you really do it? That’s less certain.

8 Ways to Hide a TV

8_ways_to_hide_tvTVs are a fact of modern life. According to Nielsen’s Television Audience Report, the average American home has 2.86 TVs.

Hopefully, yours are of the flat-panel design. They’re much less obtrusive than old-fashioned CRTs and can squeeze into just about any space.

Still, a screen is a screen — not much to look at when you’re not watching something on it.

Manufacturers have tried to jazz up that big, black rectangle with colored bezels and other ornamentation, but those are merely Band-Aid solutions. The only way you’ll be able to completely ignore your set is to put it where you can’t see it.

There are lots of ways to conceal screens, and we’ve compiled some of the most creative solutions for your consideration.
