Smart home technology is only as reliable as the infrastructure it runs on.
Smart home systems fail — and when they do, the failure is usually not the device.
It’s the infrastructure: Pro Call Electric installs the electrical infrastructure that smart home systems need to work reliably — with the added benefit that it’s permitted, inspected, and done by licensed electricians.
- Wireless systems dropping because of inadequate Wi-Fi coverage
- Smart switches failing because the circuit has no neutral wire
- Outdoor cameras dropping offline in Alberta winters because the circuit isn’t protected
- Smart panels and EV chargers on circuits that weren’t sized for them
The infrastructure that makes smart homes actually work.
Smart Lighting:
- Neutral wire added to existing switch boxes (required for most smart switches).
- Lutron, Leviton, and TP-Link Kasa smart dimmer and switch installation.
- Pot light installation with smart-compatible dimming.
- Outdoor smart lighting circuits and fixture installation.
Smart Climate:
- Thermostat wiring upgrade for smart thermostats (Nest, Ecobee).
- In-floor heating mat installation with smart thermostat.
- Motorised damper wiring for smart zoned HVAC.
Smart Security:
- Camera circuit installation for hardwired IP cameras.
- Video doorbell wiring and power (including upgrades from non-functional existing doorbells).
- Access control for gates, garage doors, and entry points.
Home Network Infrastructure:
- Cat6 structured wiring with central distribution point.
- Wi-Fi access point installation with Ethernet backbone (wired AP coverage throughout the home — no Wi-Fi dead spots).
- Network panel or server rack installation in utility room.
EV Charging:
- 240V/50A Level 2 EV charger circuit and outlet or hardwired charger installation.
- Smart EV charger installation (Chargepoint, JuiceBox, Wallbox).
Whole-Home Audio and Video:
- In-ceiling speaker rough-in and installation.
- HDMI and speaker wire to TV locations.
- Low-voltage plate installation for clean wall-mounted TV installations.
The best time to pre-wire is before drywall.
For new construction, Pro Call Electric can rough-in all low-voltage infrastructure during the framing stage — at a fraction of the cost of retrofitting later:
- Cat6 to every room and TV location.
- Speaker wire to ceiling speaker locations.
- Camera locations with conduit to AV closet.
- Conduit stubs for future automation components.
