What we build in
- Lighting control with scenes, schedules and keypads instead of banks of switches
- Motorized shades with hidden pockets in the ceiling
- Climate: zoned heating and cooling, smart thermostats, in-floor heat
- Security: cameras, smart locks, doorbells and sensors
- Networking: structured wiring, mesh Wi-Fi and a proper equipment closet
- Audio and theatre: in-ceiling speakers and media rooms
- Energy: EV chargers, standby generators and battery backup
Why plan it during construction
Retrofitting wiring through finished walls is slow and messy. During framing we run low-voltage cable to every ceiling, window and TV location, add conduit for future changes, and place blocking for shades and screens. It costs little at that stage and keeps every option open.
Systems that age well
Technology changes faster than houses. We favour open, well-supported platforms, keep a wired backbone that outlasts any single app, and document every device and login so the house is not tied to one installer. Basic switches still work if the internet is down.
Licensed electrical work
In Ontario, electrical work must be done by an ECRA/ESA licensed electrical contractor. Our licensed electrical partners handle all line-voltage wiring, permits and ESA inspections.
We work across Northumberland County (Colborne, Cobourg, Port Hope, Brighton), Quinte, Peterborough and the Kawarthas, with Barrie from early 2027.
Questions, answered
During design and framing, before drywall. Running cable then is fast and inexpensive, and it keeps future options open.
Licensed ECRA/ESA electrical contractors, as Ontario requires. Our electrical partners handle wiring, permits and inspections.
Yes. We design systems where local keypads and switches keep working without an internet connection.
Yes. EV chargers, standby generators and battery backup are planned with the electrical service during the build.
