Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Everything you need to know about Enfuze outdoor audio, Wi-Fi, and mosquito control solutions.
1. Most frequently asked questions.
-
Most Enfuze systems fall into one of three configurations:
Single-Zone — ideal for patios, rooftops, or smaller outdoor areas.
Dual-Zone — perfect for backyards with two main areas like a pool and grill.
Multi-Zone — designed for expansive outdoor living spaces.
All systems include professional design, concealed wiring, and installation completed in typically less than a day.
-
Most Enfuze systems are installed in a single day, often within a few hours. Even complex, multi-zone projects rarely take more than one day. Wiring is fully concealed, and your yard is left spotless.
-
Yes. Every Enfuze component — speakers, subwoofers, Wi-Fi access points, and mosquito repellers — is engineered for Chicago’s heat, rain, and snow. They’re weather-resistant, professionally installed, and built to perform year-round with little to no maintenance required.
-
Enfuze outdoor audio uses a distributed speaker design that delivers even, immersive sound by directing sound where you are and not towards your neighbors’ yards. You’ll enjoy balanced coverage everywhere in your outdoor space, while minimizing the chance of bothering your neighbors.
-
Yes. Enfuze integrates seamlessly with Sonos, Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, WiiM, Bluesound, and other multi-room audio platforms. You can manage both indoor and outdoor zones from the same app and stream from your favorite services like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and more.
-
No permits are required. Enfuze systems use low-voltage wiring that installs quickly and cleanly with no special permissions needed. If applicable, you should consult with your HOA to ensure compliance with any neighborhood rules.
-
Every Enfuze installation is backed by a three-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. If a product issue occurs within warranty coverage, we’ll repair or replace it free of charge.
2. Outdoor audio: FAQs.
-
Enfuze redefined outdoor audio through:
A multitude of speakers surround your outdoor space, creating balanced sound that fills your space without being too loud of having uneven “hot spots”
Separately amplified satellite speakers and subwoofers enable dynamic and precise acoustic reproduction
Sound tuned specifically for the outdoor environment, creating rich sound that sounds crisp, clear, and rich.
-
Speakers and subwoofers are positioned discreetly in landscape bed, planters, or under eaves. Wiring is hidden during installation, so your yard stays clean and beautiful.
-
Yes. Enfuze connects seamlessly with Sonos, Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Bluesound, WiiM, and more, so you can control indoor and outdoor zones from the same app and stream from Spotify, Apple Music, or any major service.
-
Enfuze components are engineered for Chicago’s weather — heat, rain, and snow — and require little to no maintenance once installed. Some occasional cleaning with a towel and mild dish soap is typically all that’s needed.
3. Insect Protection: FAQs.
-
Enfuze Chicago has partnered with Thermacell, the #1 selling zone mosquito repellent brand in the U.S., to provide a seamless solution for insect-free outdoor living through:
A multitude of smart repellers that surround your outdoor living space, creating a zone of protection with the push of a button.
A thoughtfully designed system layout and installation that maximizes your livable outdoor space
A monitoring system so Enfuze Chicago can ensure your 180 hour repeller cartridges are always ready for your time outdoors
-
The Thermacell LIV system provides protection against mosquitoes, no-see-ums, and biting midges.
Repels mosquitoes, including those that may carry Zika, Dengue, EEE, and West Nile Virus
Does not impact foraging honey bees (Source: NIH)
-
At the touch of a button (or a tap in the LIV app), the system begins warming up a pod containing mosquito repellent fluid
Each repeller then continuously diffuses a minute does of Metofluthrin, a safe and effective pyrethroid repellent, covering about 315 sqft per repeller
The replaceable “pods” contain up to 180 hours of repellent, offering reliable on-demand protection when you are outside.
Unlike other mosquito control techniques, the Thermacell LIV system does not use chemicals that kill mosquitoes or that are harmful to people or pets
-
Enfuze Chicago will remotely monitor your system usage to track when the repellant pods need to be replaced. They can be replaced by us or you can order the pods through us to do it yourself.
The repellers are made of die-cast aluminum and powder-coated for protection against the elements in all seasons.
Some occasional cleaning with a towel and mild dish soap is typically all that’s needed to keep the repellers looking like new.
4. Outdoor W-Fi: FAQs.
-
Most home routers aren’t built to send signal through exterior walls. Enfuze installs professional-grade, outdoor-rated access points that extend your home network seamlessly, eliminating dropouts and dead zones.
-
No. Enfuze extends your network so your devices automatically stay connected as you move from indoors to outdoors — no extra logins or switching. This sometimes requires upgraded indoor Wi-Fi equipment that Enfuze will specify and install as part of the project.
-
Because Enfuze uses low-voltage, permit-free installation, most Wi-Fi upgrades are completed the same day, often in just a few hours.
-
Generally no. We strive to conceal all wiring, and equipment is positioned only where coverage is needed, preserving your home’s design.
5. Installation and process: FAQs.
-
Most Enfuze systems are installed in one day, often within just a few hours. Larger multi-zone projects may take up to two days, but that’s rare.
-
No permits are required. Enfuze systems use low-voltage wiring, and we assist with HOA drawings or placement diagrams if needed.
-

-
No. Cable routes are narrow and restored immediately. Our team hides wiring and cleans up before leaving — your yard looks as good as it did before installation.
6. Support and warranty: FAQs.
-
All Enfuze Chicago installations come with a three-year limited warranty, including on Enfuze-branded products. Third-party products have their own warranty terms, although Enfuze Chicago is your main contact for any issues.
-
If a product issue is covered under warranty, Enfuze Chicago will repair or replace it at no cost. If an issue falls outside coverage, we’ll offer clear repair or replacement options.
-
No. The Enfuze Chicago warranty applies to the original purchaser and installation location.
-
Because Enfuze Chicago systems are permanently installed and custom-built for each space, they can’t be restocked. But we stand behind every project and will do everything possible to ensure you’re completely satisfied.
