Make Your Home Smarter with Professional Electrical Wiring

Smart home technology is only as reliable as the electrical infrastructure behind it. While anyone can screw in a smart bulb, creating a truly integrated smart home requires professional electrical work — dedicated circuits for always-on hubs, neutral wires for smart switches, proper network infrastructure, and wiring that supports your smart devices reliably. Eleos Electric brings 35+ years of electrical expertise to smart home installations throughout Windsor, Santa Rosa, Healdsburg, Rohnert Park, Petaluma, Sonoma, and Sebastopol.

We bridge the gap between smart home technology and the electrical infrastructure it requires. Our electricians install smart switches, dimmers, outlets, and panels, ensuring the wiring is correct, the neutral wire is present (required by most smart switches), and the installation is code-compliant and reliable.

Smart Switch & Dimmer Installation

The foundation of any smart lighting system is smart switches. Unlike smart bulbs (which lose functionality when someone turns off the wall switch), smart switches maintain control at both the wall and through your app or voice assistant. We install smart switches from Lutron Caseta, Lutron RA2 Select, Leviton, TP-Link, and other major platforms.

A critical requirement for most smart switches is a neutral wire in the switch box. Many older Sonoma County homes — particularly those built before the 1990s in Santa Rosa, Petaluma, and Sebastopol — lack neutral wires at switch locations. We can run neutral wires to switch boxes that need them, enabling full smart switch compatibility throughout your home.

Whole-Home Automation Wiring

For homeowners who want comprehensive smart home control, we install the wiring infrastructure that makes it all work: dedicated circuits for smart hubs and controllers, Ethernet runs for wired smart home bridges, centralized wiring panels, and the power infrastructure for automated shades, motorized blinds, and smart garage door systems.

We work with all major smart home ecosystems: Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings, Hubitat, and Control4. While we don't program the automation systems ourselves, we install all of the electrical infrastructure that these systems require to function reliably.

Smart Panels & Energy Monitoring

Smart electrical panels like the Span panel and Leviton Smart Load Center represent the next evolution in home electrical systems. These panels provide circuit-level energy monitoring, remote circuit control, load management for EV chargers and solar systems, and integration with your smart home platform. We install smart panels as both new installations and replacements for existing panels.

For Sonoma County homeowners with solar systems and EV chargers — increasingly common in Healdsburg, Windsor, and Sonoma — a smart panel provides intelligent load management that maximizes your solar self-consumption, manages EV charging schedules, and gives you real-time visibility into your energy usage by circuit.

Dedicated Circuits for Smart Home Equipment

Smart home hubs, Wi-Fi access points, network switches, and security camera systems should be on dedicated circuits with battery backup capability. This ensures your smart home infrastructure stays online during brief power interruptions and doesn't share circuits with high-draw appliances that could cause voltage fluctuations. We install dedicated 15-amp circuits for smart home equipment closets and network equipment locations.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What smart home brands do you install?

Lutron Caseta and RadioRA 3, Leviton Decora Smart, Kasa, Hubitat, SmartThings, Ring, Nest, Ecobee, Sonos architectural, and Control4 (pro-installer). We also tie in Tesla Powerwall and Enphase gateway systems.

Can you install a whole-home smart lighting system?

Yes. Whole-home Lutron RadioRA 3 and Caseta systems are one of our specialties. We do the design, rough-in, programming, and user training for scene- and automation-based lighting.

Do I need new wiring for smart switches?

Most modern smart switches require a neutral wire in the switch box. Older homes often don't have one. Eleos assesses each box and quotes any rewiring needed to make the retrofit code-compliant and reliable.

How much does smart home electrical work cost?

Single smart-switch installs run $175–$275 each. Whole-home systems start around $8,500 for a modest home and scale with fixture count, scene count, and integration complexity.

Can you integrate solar, battery, and smart panel systems?

Yes — Eleos installs Span smart panels, Tesla Powerwall, Enphase IQ Battery, and FranklinWH systems, plus the network and app configuration. We coordinate with your solar installer if one is already involved.
