Smart Home Installation, done to our standard

Our smart home installation service is built on years of smart-home and AV experience. We check compatibility before we start, mount devices neatly with no visible wire runs where we can avoid them, connect everything to your Wi-Fi and apps, and show you how to use it.

On larger properties we look at Wi-Fi coverage first. A camera at the end of a long driveway is only useful if it stays online.

What's included

  • Compatibility check: wiring, power, Wi-Fi and hubs
  • Clean, level mounting with wiring concealed wherever possible
  • App setup, account linking and notifications configured with you
  • Wi-Fi signal check at each device location
  • Old devices removed, and any marks patched
  • Walkthrough so everyone in the household knows how it works

Our standard

Our founder is a self-described perfectionist, and every smart home installation job is held to his standard: measured twice, laser-leveled where it matters, finished cleanly, and reviewed with you in a final walkthrough. We arrive on time, protect your floors and finishes, and leave no dust behind.

Common jobs

Ring doorbell, Nest thermostat, camera and smart lock installation

Video doorbells (Ring, Nest and others)

Wired installs using your existing doorbell wiring and chime, or battery models mounted cleanly. We check the transformer so the doorbell has reliable power.

Nest and smart thermostats

Nest thermostat installation with a wiring check up front, including C-wire solutions where your system needs one, plus app and schedule setup.

Smart locks

Smart lock installation on existing deadbolts, with door alignment checked so the bolt throws smoothly every time.

Wi-Fi and mesh networks

Mesh Wi-Fi setup so devices across a larger home stay connected.

Smart lighting and hubs

Smart bulbs, plug-in switches and hubs configured into simple routines. In-wall switch wiring goes through our licensed electrical partners.

Questions

Smart Home Installation FAQ

Do you offer smart home installation services near me?

Yes. We install video doorbells, smart thermostats, cameras and smart locks in Bethesda, Silver Spring, Potomac, McLean and DC, and set up the apps before we leave.

Will a Nest thermostat work with my system?

Most forced-air systems are compatible, though some need a C-wire or adapter, and high-voltage baseboard systems usually aren't. Send a photo of your current thermostat's wiring and we'll confirm before we come out.

Can you install a Ring doorbell without existing wiring?

Yes. Battery models don't need wiring. If you want a wired doorbell where there isn't one, we'll talk through the options.

My cameras keep going offline. Can you help?

Often it's Wi-Fi coverage. We check the signal at each camera and can set up mesh Wi-Fi to fix weak spots.

Do you set up the apps?

Yes. We configure the apps, notifications and sharing with you, and make sure everything works on your phone before we leave.
