Why Home Automation Isn’t About Gadgets — It’s About Infrastructure

Many homeowners buy smart devices thinking they’ll “just work.” But without proper wiring, grounding, and circuit capacity, they fail — often at the worst possible time.

The Hidden Risk

Poorly wired smart devices can cause intermittent power draws, circuit overload, or even fire if connected to overloaded or ungrounded circuits. We’ve seen homes where smart thermostats caused breakers to trip daily — not because of the device, but because the circuit was already at 90% capacity. This isn’t a tech problem — it’s an electrical one. And it’s preventable.

Insurance and Resale Concerns

As smart homes become the norm, insurers and buyers are evaluating how systems are installed — not just whether they exist. A poorly wired automation system can be flagged as a safety hazard, leading to higher premiums or sale delays. We ensure every smart device is installed on a properly grounded, labeled, and code-compliant circuit — giving you peace of mind, lower insurance risk, and a stronger position in the resale market.

A Client’s Story: The Smart Home That Wouldn’t Smart

“I spent $5,000 on smart lights, thermostats, and cameras — but half of them wouldn’t connect. The electrician who installed them didn’t have neutral wires. Expertise Bolt-Duc came in, rewired 12 switch boxes, added a dedicated circuit, and fixed everything. Now my home works the way it should. I wish I’d called them first.”

We install and integrate smart lighting (Philips Hue, Lutron), smart thermostats (Nest, Ecobee), smart security (Ring, Arlo), voice assistants (Google Home, Alexa), automated blinds, and whole-home audio systems — all wired for reliability.
Yes. Most smart switches require a neutral wire to function properly. Older homes often don’t have them. We assess your switch boxes and recommend the best solution — whether it’s rewiring, using a smart outlet, or upgrading your panel.
Yes. We don’t push brands — we integrate what you already own. We ensure your devices are on a stable network, properly grounded, and wired for consistent performance — not intermittent failures.
Smart devices need stable power and proper grounding to communicate reliably. Poor wiring causes dropped connections, unresponsive devices, and phantom triggers. We don’t install gadgets — we build the infrastructure that makes them work.
Absolutely. We’ve wired smart systems in homes from the 1950s to today. We adapt to your existing infrastructure — and upgrade wiring where needed for safety and performance.
