Call nowA smart home in San Diego County only works when the wiring and network underneath it are built to carry it. San Diego County is a regional coverage page for service across the county footprint. The team handles residential and commercial electrical including panel work, EV chargers, generators, lighting, rewiring. We size the wiring and network to how the home in San Diego County is actually built.
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 San Diego shop, San Diego County is part of our regular San Diego County service area.

“Sebastian and his colleague did an excellent job installing three GFCI outlets in my bathrooms. Their work was extremely precise, and no drywall repair was needed. They were also very considerate about keeping costs down by choosing the most efficient wiring approach. Overall,...”

- 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 San Diego County
Will one app control everything in my San Diego County 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 San Diego County 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 San Diego County, 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 CA #1109913, call (619) 771-1114.
