Smart devices are only as dependable as the wiring behind them. Smart home wiring in Chico means neutrals in the switch boxes, power where cameras and shades need it, hardwired network drops for the devices that should not rely on Wi-Fi, and a panel with room for what comes next.

Smart home wiring questions from Chico customers

Which smart home system do you recommend?

It depends on what you already own and how much you want to automate. Lutron systems are known for reliability in lighting; many homeowners are happy with Wi-Fi or Matter devices on Apple, Google or Amazon platforms. We install all of them.

My switch boxes have no neutral. Can I still use smart switches?

Yes. Some smart dimmers are built for no-neutral boxes, and where they are not suitable we can bring a neutral to the box.

Is hardwired Ethernet still worth it?

Yes. Cameras, TVs, desktop computers and Wi-Fi access points all work better on a cable, and it takes load off your wireless network.

Yes. We provide smart home wiring throughout Chico and nearby Hamilton City, Durham and Forest Ranch. Call (888) 633-7804 to check availability for your address.
