Smart devices work far better on real wire than on borrowed Wi-Fi. OSB does the neutral wires, the CAT6 runs and the switch layout that make a Ashland smart home reliable instead of frustrating.
“The quote they gave me on the phone was the number on the invoice. That is apparently rare and it shouldn't be.”
“The dispatcher actually understood what I was describing on the phone and told me which breaker to shut off before they arrived.”
“We had knob-and-tube in the attic and our insurer was getting nervous. They rewired in stages so we never lost power for more than a few hours at a time.”
Nine times out of ten there's no neutral conductor in the switch box — common in older Ashland homes. We either pull a neutral or fit a switch designed to run without one.
Yes. CAT6, coax and low-voltage runs are part of most smart home jobs we do.
We install hardwired cameras, PoE runs, and doorbell transformers sized for modern video units.
For anything that must not drop — cameras, access points, hubs — wired wins every time. Wireless is fine for lamps and sensors.
That's the ideal moment. Open walls make structured wiring dramatically cheaper, so call before the drywall goes up.
