Visited a new construction site in Arlington and saw why they wire everything through conduit now
I used to think conduit was overkill for residential alarms. Always did the staple and cable method. But this builder had us run everything through 1/2 inch EMT before drywall went up. Took longer but man it looks clean and I bet service calls are way easier when you can just pull new wire. Guy on site said they had less than 2% fault rate compared to 8% on their old builds. Has anyone else switched over to conduit for new construction or am I just late to the party?

Wait, did your friend have to redo all their wiring later?

Blew out a fuse box trying to splice speaker wire once.
