    Get Smart Home and AV Installation Services for Homes and Businesses

    Modern properties run on connected technology, and a professionally engineered system is what separates seamless control from constant frustration. Electric Heroes designs and installs smart home and AV solutions for both residences and commercial spaces throughout the East Bay.


    Our licensed team handles lighting control, motorized shades, smart thermostats, multi-room audio, mounted displays, surround sound, and networked security, all backed by proper low-voltage wiring and structured cabling. This matters because poorly integrated devices drop connections, void warranties, and create safety hazards. We unify every component onto a stable, code-compliant network, giving homeowners convenience and businesses the reliability, automation, and energy savings their daily operations depend on.

    Smart Home Devices We Install

    Smart Switches & Dimmers

    We shut off the circuit, replace your existing switch with a smart module, connect line, load, and neutral wires, then pair it to your app for remote dimming control.

    Smart Thermostats

    Our electricians verify C-wire compatibility, mount the base plate, connect HVAC terminals correctly, configure your heating and cooling schedules, and link the unit to Wi-Fi for temperature control from anywhere.

    Smart Doorbells & Security Cameras

    We assess mounting points, run or tap into existing wiring, secure each device to the structure, adjust viewing angles, and sync live video feeds to your phone for continuous monitoring.

    Smart Home Hubs & Voice Control

    We position the hub centrally, connect it to your router, onboard every compatible device onto one network, and calibrate voice assistants so commands trigger lights, locks, and routines reliably.

    Lighting Control Installation and Repair

    We map your circuits, install control panels or smart drivers, wire fixtures to dimmable loads, program scenes and zones, and troubleshoot flickering or unresponsive lights to restore full functionality.

    Why Choose Electric Heroes for a Smart Home

    Dedicated Circuits & Panel Capacity

    We calculate your home’s electrical load, check available breaker space, then run dedicated circuits for high-demand smart devices, preventing tripped breakers and protecting sensitive equipment from overloaded shared lines.

    Low-Voltage & Network Wiring

    We route structured cabling through walls, terminate Ethernet and coaxial runs at a central panel, and test each line for signal strength so your connected devices stay fast and stable.

    Code-Compliant, Reliable Installation

    Our team pulls required permits, installs to current NEC and local standards, label every connection clearly, and schedule inspection, ensuring your system passes, stays insurable, and operates safely for years.

    Smart Home Integration with Panel Upgrades & EV Charging

    A truly connected home demands an electrical foundation built to carry it, which is why Electric Heroes pairs smart home integration with panel upgrades and EV charger installation. Older 100-amp panels often can’t support automation hubs, dedicated circuits, and vehicle charging running simultaneously. We assess your total load, upgrade to a 200-amp service when needed, and install smart panels that monitor consumption circuit by circuit. This coordinated approach matters because adding devices to an undersized panel causes tripped breakers, voltage drops, and fire risk. By unifying automation, capacity, and EV charging under one plan, we deliver a system that scales with your household’s growing energy demands.

    Smart Home Installation Service Areas

    Operating from our Walnut Creek base, we serve Concord, Pleasant Hill, Clayton, Martinez, Lafayette, Alamo, Danville, Orinda, and Moraga, extending into San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley. Local expertise matters with automation work, because permit requirements, inspection processes, and utility coordination vary by city, and our familiarity with each jurisdiction keeps your project moving without delays. Whether you’re wiring a single-family home in Danville or outfitting a commercial space downtown, our licensed electricians arrive equipped, on schedule, and ready to build a connected system tailored to your property and neighborhood.

    FAQs About Smart Home Installation

    Do I need an electrician to install smart switches or thermostats?
    Yes—most require neutral or C-wires and proper load connections. A licensed electrician ensures safe wiring, prevents damage to your devices, and keeps installations compliant with local code.
    Will my electrical panel support a full smart home system?
    It depends on your panel’s age and capacity. We evaluate your available amperage and breaker space, then recommend an upgrade if your current service can’t handle added loads.
    Can you integrate smart home devices with an EV charger?
    Absolutely. We coordinate both under one load calculation, install dedicated circuits, and configure smart panels so charging and automation run together without overloading your electrical system.
    How much does it cost to turn a house into a smart home?
    Whole-house conversions vary with square footage, device count, and wiring needs. We assess your home room by room and provide a detailed, transparent estimate before any work begins.
    How much does it cost to install a smart home?
    Basic setups covering a few switches and a hub cost far less than fully automated systems. Pricing scales with devices, circuits, and cabling, request a free quote for exact figures.
    What wiring is required for a smart home?
    Most systems need neutral wires at switches, C-wires for thermostats, and structured low-voltage cabling for hubs, cameras, and networking. We install or upgrade wiring as your setup demands.
