Adams, a well-established provider of electrical, generator, low-voltage, heating and cooling, solar, and plumbing contracting services, has opened a new showroom and atrium in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. This new space offers an interactive and hands-on environment designed to deepen connections with customers, builders, and the local community. The opening event included a ribbon-cutting ceremony with local officials, business leaders, and community members, highlighting Adams’ commitment to the region and its ongoing investment in local growth.

A New Way to Experience Technology and Services


The new showroom is more than just a display area. It is designed to be an immersive experience where visitors can explore the latest in smart home technology, including Ketra lighting and Lutron controls. These interactive exhibits allow customers and builders to see and feel how these systems work in real life, making it easier to understand their benefits and applications.


This hands-on approach helps visitors visualize how these technologies can be integrated into their own homes or projects. For example, customers can adjust lighting scenes or control heating and cooling settings in real time, providing a clear sense of the convenience and energy savings these systems offer.
