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 Gilbertville 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.”
“Called at 11pm when half the house went dark and an outlet was making a noise I'd never heard before. Someone was at the door in under an hour and had it isolated before midnight.”
“Lost a furnace board and a TV in one storm. They put a surge device on the panel and explained exactly what it does and doesn't cover.”
Nine times out of ten there's no neutral conductor in the switch box — common in older Gilbertville 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.
