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 nowA smart home in Elgin only works when the wiring and network underneath it are built to carry it. Elgin is a rural East Bastrop County community with a mix of small-town and rural character. The 2011 Bastrop County Complex Fire and other wildfire events have shaped how electrical work in fire-affected areas is approached. On Elgin properties with larger lots and outbuildings, whole-property control usually means extending the network and running longer low-voltage lines, which we plan for.
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, Elgin is part of our regular Austin metro service area.

Neighborhood note
In the Elgin area, on Elgin properties with larger lots and outbuildings, whole-property control usually means extending the network and running longer low-voltage lines, which we plan for.
Permit and inspection
Most of this work in Elgin is low-voltage and rarely needs a permit. When a job adds a circuit, a dedicated outlet, or touches the panel, we pull the permit where the Elgin district requires it and schedule any inspection. We tell you which applies before we start.

“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...”
“Garrett Harms from Keil Electric is the reason I chose this company to upgrade my Service to 350 Amps from 120 Amps & move the meter from the back of the house to the side of the house. This was different than most because I wanted to keep the existing 200 Amps panel that anot...”

- 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 Elgin
Will one app control everything in my Elgin 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 Elgin 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 Elgin, 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.
