Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We have answers. Here are the most common questions we receive.

What smart home devices do you install?

We install wiring and electrical for all smart home devices—switches, thermostats, doorbells, cameras, speakers, and more. We work with all major brands: Nest, Ring, Ecobee, Lutron, Philips Hue, and others

Do I need special wiring for smart home devices?

Some devices use existing wiring, others need new wiring. Smart thermostats often need a C-wire for power. Hardwired cameras need power and network cables. We assess what you have and what you need

Can you set up the smart devices too?

We handle all electrical installation and can help with basic setup. For complex home automation programming, you may want a smart home specialist. We focus on the electrical side—making sure everything is wired correctly.

Should I run Ethernet cables?

Yes, if possible. Hardwired Ethernet is faster and more reliable than WiFi for smart TVs, security cameras, and WiFi access points. We recommend running Cat6 to key locations during construction or renovations.

What about smart lighting systems?

We install smart switches (replace regular switches) or can wire for smart bulb systems like Philips Hue. Smart switches are usually better—they work with any bulbs and don't require special bulbs.

How much does smart home wiring cost?

Depends on what you want. Smart switch installation costs $150-250 each. Smart thermostat installation costs $150-300. Running Ethernet cables varies by length and accessibility. We provide estimates based on your specific needs.
