With so many sources of electromagnetic field (EMF) these days, such as TVs, smart phones, tablets, laptops, PCs, routers, and more, EMF overexposure has become a very real health concern.

Central Coast AV can help you take precautions against EMF overexposure in your home and minimize potential health risks by hardwiring all components of the network, strategically placing access points throughout your home, and optimizing wi-fi strength. We even can install an “All off” switch to turn off everything—including your network—simultaneously.

Beyond the A/V work that we do in your home, here are some general things that you can also consider.

1. Distance: Increase your distance from EMF sources. Keep devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops away from your body when not in use.
2. Limit Usage: Reduce the time spent on devices that emit EMFs, especially those close to the body, such as cell phones and tablets. Consider using speaker mode or headphones for calls.
3. Turn Off Devices: When not in use, turn off Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth, smartphones and other wireless devices to minimize exposure.
4. Airplane Mode: Use airplane mode on your phone when you don’t need connectivity, especially at night.
5. Wired Connections: Opt for wired connections (like Ethernet) instead of Wi-Fi.
6. Shielding Products: Consider EMF shielding products, such as EMF blocking paint, phone cases or clothing, if you feel it necessary.
7. Create EMF-free Zones: Designate areas in your home, such as bedrooms, as EMF-free zones by removing or turning off devices.
8. Natural Barriers: Some suggest using materials like plants or specific types of paint designed to reduce EMF exposure.

By incorporating some of these strategies, you can reduce your exposure to EMFs.
