Low-Voltage & Smart Home
Structured wiring, smart switches, and networked device installs done cleanly.
Low-voltage work, network drops, security camera wiring, smart-home device installs, gets lumped in with anyone who owns a drill, but it still runs through walls and panels that a licensed electrician has to coordinate with the rest of the home’s wiring.
- Structured wiring for networking, security cameras, and whole-home audio, run cleanly through walls
- Smart switch, dimmer, and thermostat installs matched to your existing wiring, not a generic retrofit
- Coordination with your panel and circuits so smart devices aren’t fighting an underpowered line
- Device setup and pairing included, not just the wiring left for you to finish
- Clean termination and labeling at the panel or structured media enclosure
Common questions
How is an electrical quote calculated?
Most quotes come from the scope of the job (which circuits, how much access is needed) plus permit and inspection fees where they apply. Diagnostic and repair calls are usually priced from a service call fee plus time once the cause is found; larger jobs like panel upgrades or rewiring get a firm, written price after a walkthrough.
Do you charge a service call fee?
Yes, most repair and diagnostic visits start with a service call fee that covers the visit and diagnosis; it typically applies toward the repair if you move forward. Ask for the exact number when you book.
Do I need a permit for this work?
Panel upgrades, rewiring, new circuits, and generator installs almost always need a permit; smaller repairs like replacing a switch or outlet usually don’t. We tell you upfront whether your specific job needs one, and we pull it ourselves rather than skip it.
Will the power be off during the work?
Only on the circuits being worked on, whenever that’s possible. A panel upgrade or full rewire does require the main power off for part of the job; we schedule that window with you in advance rather than surprise you with it.
How long does a typical job take?
A repair or diagnostic visit is usually same-day. A panel upgrade typically takes a few hours to a full day depending on inspection scheduling. A whole-house rewire can run from several days to a couple of weeks depending on home size and wall access.
Do you pull permits and handle inspections?
Yes, on any job that requires one. We schedule the inspection, meet the inspector, and walk you through what passed. A job that skips the permit can’t be verified later, which becomes a real problem at resale or with insurance.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
The physical swap is usually a few hours to a full day. The power to the house is off only during that window, which we schedule with you in advance. Permit and inspection scheduling around it can add a few days on either side.
Will rewiring damage my walls?
Some opening and patching of drywall or plaster is unavoidable to reach existing wiring, we coordinate patching as part of the job rather than leaving it as a surprise. We’ll walk you through exactly what’s being opened before we start.
Can you install smart switches on old wiring?
Usually, but some smart switches need a neutral wire that older wiring doesn’t always have at the switch box. We check your existing wiring before recommending a specific device so you’re not buying something that won’t work in your walls.
