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 Hanson smart home reliable instead of frustrating.
“Whole-house LED retrofit across our warehouse. Our lighting bill dropped and you can finally read labels on the top rack.”
“Storm took out our power for four days last winter. This year we have a standby generator that started itself while we were asleep.”
“Two-prong outlets all through a 1920s house. They grounded what could be grounded and GFCI-protected the rest, then labelled everything.”
Nine times out of ten there's no neutral conductor in the switch box — common in older Hanson 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.
