If you are thinking about transforming your home into a fully automated place where you can turn on and off most of your appliances with simple voice commands, you may need professional help. Home automation goes beyond plugging and setting up smart devices. It requires a skilled electrician who will be able to ensure everything is connected and properly installed. Let’s see how professional assistance can help you set up the smart home you have always wanted.


Wiring

Home automation systems often require wiring expertise. This is because these systems generally need neutral wire, which is not commonly found in older properties. Not using neutral wires may cause buzzing sounds, flickering lights, and other issues to your new smart home. Since electrical services can be dangerous if not performed by a skilled professional, it is recommended that you get the help of an electrician to safely and efficiently rewire your place. 

 

Appliance Installation

In order to have a fully automated smart system in your home, you will need to get new appliances. Installing a new smart appliance not only requires electrical experience but also technical knowledge to set it up. For that reason, it is recommended that you have professional assistance. A skilled electrician will be able to properly connect your new appliances to your electrical system and ensure that everything is working as expected.

 

Lighting

Smart lights can be turned on and off, or even dimmed by voice command and smart devices. However, choosing the ideal smart light switch and having it properly installed may require professional assistance. An electrician specialized in home automation will be able to help you choose the ideal light switch for your place and provide you with safe and efficient wiring services if necessary.

 

Thermostats

Smart thermostats can help you manage your home temperature from your phone before you even get to your place. Though extremely convenient, these devices usually require the installation of a second wire called C-wire, for which you would need the help of an experienced professional. A skilled electrician would be able to provide you with all the necessary solutions for the successful installation or your new smart thermostat.

 

Outlets

Smart outlets are some of the main components of automated smart homes. They allow you to have energy control over any plugged device, which provides you with the possibility of turning them on or off through smart devices. The installation of outlets, however, require electrical know-how. Attempting to install outlets without the necessary expertise may result in serious accidents, including fire and electrocution. For that reason, professional assistance is recommended.
