We met with Guardian Technologies to make our low voltage wiring selections. Our Guardian Specialist was not pushy about adding all of the extras. He did recommend the security system, but he didn't push it. It was $250 to have the security system installed and $50 per month for a minimum of 3 years for the basic home monitoring package if you got the security system installed. There were also options to add security cameras.
After we went through security options, we discussed phone and cable outlets. Our home came with 2 phone outlets and 2 cable outlets. Since we don't plan to have a phone in our house we were able to switch one phone outlet for another cable outlet. We put a cable outlet in the rec room, living room, and master bedroom. We put the phone jack for our wi-fi in the living room since it's the most central location. It was an additional $150 for each additional phone or cable outlet. Since we don't plan to have TV in the two additional bedrooms and we only use wi-fi, we opted not to add any additional outlets.
There were also options to pre-wire for a wall-mounted TV ($415 per TV), add an intercom ($2845), and add a surround sound system ($1185). We didn't opt for any of these.
