Wiring Standards
 
 
 

    At Dyer Electronics we adhere to a strict set of wiring standards and plating standards designed to minimize confusion and increase the quality of the wiring that we install.
    We use all Leviton plates for our wall plates, and color code to make it easy for the end user to identify what he or she is plugging into.
    We also are very careful when pre-wiring a new home to avoid all possible interference causing items and to route all of our wires neatly with hooks. We want the pre-wire to be as easy to understand as possible and as neat as possible.
    After all if you start on a bad note, how can you finish on a good note?

The following are Dyer Electronics established standards for
