- SERVICE AREA
Carmine service area.
From our Austin shop.
We dispatch from 1511 Brandi Ln Unit D, Round Rock, TX. Most days we're already in the area on another job. After-hours emergencies, we roll a truck.
Response time
Austin: Most days we're already in the area. Same-day appointments when capacity allows. After-hours emergencies dispatched when a licensed electrician is available, a real person at the local shop answers and tells you the ETA on the call.
Call nowMost Carmine smart-home projects begin as a pile of apps and remotes the owner wants unified into one system. Carmine is a small community in the Fayette, Lee, or Caldwell County area, east or southeast of the Austin metro core. Rural to small-town character with older agricultural community history. Many older Carmine homes lack a neutral wire at the switch box, which stops most smart switches cold; as licensed electricians we run the neutral so the automation actually works.
We unify it under one hub so lighting, climate, locks, and audio run from one app, and we handle the part an AV-only installer cannot: the neutrals, circuits, and in-wall runs. From our Austin shop, Carmine is part of our regular Austin metro service area.

“Gotta say that Keil Electric made a great first impression. Garrett was able to answer my questions about my GFCI outlets that kept failing and replaced them at a reasonable cost, including a replacement hot box for my network outlets that weren’t wired correctly when the hous...”
“I have lived in this area for almost 15 years and worked with many electricians. I finally found my go-to electrician in Keil Electric. We needed to upgrade our electric panels and received several estimates. David Daniels from Keil provided the quote and fully explained the ...”

- WHO TO HIRE
Why hiring a licensed electrician matters.
For smart home installation & automation, here's the honest comparison. We'd tell you the same thing if we weren't trying to win the job.
Keil Electric
A licensed electrician
Licensed electrician walks every job. Veteran-owned, family-run.
Permits pulled and inspections coordinated when required by the AHJ
5/10-year + lifetime warranty in writing. Parts and labor. Transfers with the home.
Fully insured + workers' comp on every crew
The price you sign is the price you pay
A handyman
Unlicensed for electrical
No state electrical license. Can do simple swaps but not panel work, rewires, or service upgrades.
No permits. Work won't pass inspection if the city audits it later.
No structured warranty. "Call me if something breaks" isn't enforceable.
If something they did causes a fire, your homeowner's insurance can deny the claim.
Cash discount may show up on the invoice.
DIY
Doing it yourself
Cheap, but only if everything goes right. Most electrical work involves load calc, code, and permitting.
A failed inspection means redoing the work. Selling the home later, the buyer's inspector flags it.
No warranty if something fails. Replacement is on you.
Live wiring is a real safety hazard. Most fatal home electrical accidents are DIY.
If you know what you're doing, fine. If you don't, call us first.

Common questions for Smart Home Installation & Automation in Carmine
Will one app control everything in my Carmine home?
Yes. A Control4 or Savant hub gives you one interface for lights, climate, locks, and audio, not five separate apps.
Do smart switches work in older Carmine homes without a neutral?
Sometimes not. As licensed electricians we can run a neutral, which an AV-only installer cannot. We check during the walk.
What happens during a power outage?
Core wiring reverts to manual and automation returns with power. We can add battery backup for critical systems.
Can I start small and expand later?
Yes. Start with lighting and climate in Carmine, then add shades and audio onto the same hub over time.
Do you program it or just install hardware?
Both. We install, program the scenes, and walk you through it. Licensed TX #40645, call (888) 442-5345.
