Structured Wiring & Networking

Reliable home theater and automation systems depend on a solid electrical and networking foundation. We design and install structured wiring and residential network infrastructure that supports today’s connected homes while allowing for future expansion.

Our structured wiring and networking services include:
• High-speed Ethernet cabling for home theaters, media rooms, and offices
• Centralized network distribution and equipment locations
• Wi-Fi access point placement for whole-home coverage
• Dedicated pathways and conduits for future cabling
• Low-voltage wiring for audio, video, control, and data
• Proper grounding and surge protection for sensitive electronics

This approach ensures stable performance for streaming media, automation systems, smart devices, and remote work.

Energy Efficiency & Smart Controls

Modern electrical systems play a key role in reducing energy use while improving comfort and usability. Thoughtful wiring and control strategies allow homes and multi-family properties to operate more efficiently without sacrificing performance.

We design electrical systems that support:
• High-efficiency lighting with dimming and zoning capabilities
Lighting controls and scenes to reduce unnecessary usage
• Occupancy and vacancy sensors in living spaces and common areas
• Daylight-responsive controls to balance natural and artificial light
• Smart load control for large appliances and equipment
• Timed and scheduled operation for lighting, exterior circuits, and shared spaces

These strategies help reduce wasted energy while maintaining consistent, predictable operation.

What to Expect with Installation

• On-site consultation & needs assessment
• Electrical load planning and panel assessment
• Structured wiring layout
• Equipment selection and sourcing
• Professional installation & cleanup
• System programming and user orientation
We work with your schedule and existing trades (carpentry, drywall) to keep projects smooth.

How Much Does Home Theater & Automation Cost?

Costs depend on:
• Room size and complexity
• Video display type and size
• Speakers and audio performance level
• Control system choice
• Wiring and infrastructure needs
• Integration with climate/security systems
Because every system is unique, accurate pricing starts with a site consultation and scope definition.

Whole-Home Automation & Smart Technology FAQs

What is whole-home automation?

Whole-home automation connects lighting, climate, audio/video, networking, and other systems so they can be controlled through a single interface. Properly designed systems operate reliably in the background while remaining simple to use.

Does whole-home automation require special wiring?

Some automation features can work wirelessly, but the most reliable systems benefit from proper electrical and network wiring. Planning wiring during construction or remodel improves performance and reduces future disruption.

Can whole-home automation improve energy efficiency?

Yes. Automation can reduce wasted energy by coordinating lighting, climate, and equipment usage through schedules, sensors, and load awareness. These systems help homes operate more efficiently without constant user input.

What systems can be integrated into whole-home automation?

Whole-home automation commonly integrates lighting, climate control, audio/video, networking, window shades, and security-related systems. Integration depends on the home’s infrastructure and the homeowner’s goals.

Can automation be added to an existing home?

In most cases, yes. Existing homes can often be upgraded with automation by evaluating electrical capacity, network readiness, and access for new wiring where needed.

Is whole-home automation complicated to use?

Well-designed systems are intended to be intuitive. Most automation works automatically through presets and schedules, with simple controls available when manual adjustments are needed.

Is it better to plan automation during construction or remodel?

Yes. Planning automation during construction or remodel allows wiring and infrastructure to be installed efficiently. This reduces cost, avoids wall damage later, and keeps future options open.
