Keil Electric service
Automation, TV mounting, whole-home audio, and network wiring — installed by the same licensed shop that can pull the circuit, fish the wall, and close the permit. One crew, one visit, one warranty.
Keil Electric installs smart home and home-technology systems across San Diego County and the Austin metro — home automation, TV mounting, whole-home audio, and structured network wiring. Because we are a licensed electrical shop, we handle the parts a low-voltage-only installer cannot: adding the recessed outlet behind the TV, running a dedicated circuit for the equipment rack, and fishing power inside finished walls, all to code, in one visit. Veteran-owned, written quote before any work, warranty five years to lifetime.
A handyman or a low-voltage-only installer can mount your TV, but the moment the job needs power moved, a circuit added, or a wire run inside a finished wall, they legally cannot, and they leave you with a second call to make. We do the whole thing in one visit, to code, under one warranty. That is the entire reason to hire an electrician for your home technology instead of a general handyman.
Every smart home, camera, and audio zone runs on the network. We install structured Cat6/6a cabling, fiber, equipment racks, and mesh Wi-Fi as the backbone everything else depends on. See our Network & Data Wiring service for the full scope.
Most home-technology work is quoted per project, not per hour, because the wiring behind the wall drives the price more than the device on it. A single TV mount runs a few hundred; a whole-home automation build with audio and a network backbone is a multi-day project. We confirm the number in writing before we start, and a trip charge applies to the service call.
We look at what you have, what you want it to do, and what is already in the walls.
Everything modern runs on the network, so we scope that first.
A fixed number, in writing, before any work.
Many low-voltage jobs do not need one; circuit or panel work sometimes does.
One licensed crew handles the power and the low-voltage together.
We set it up, test it, and show you how to run it before we leave.
We install equipment we'd put in our own homes. If you have a preferred brand, tell us, we'll work with it.
No permit required for this work in most jurisdictions. We confirm with the local building department before starting.
Written warranty: 5-year on outlets, fixtures, and EV chargers; 10-year on wire and breakers; lifetime on panelboxes and surge protection. Parts and labor. Transfers with the home.
The reason to have a licensed electrician do this work is not the speaker, it is the power behind it. Fishing an unfused wire through insulation, back-stabbing a rushed outlet behind a TV, or overloading a circuit with an equipment rack is how AV jobs start fires. We do the low-voltage and the line-voltage to the same code.
Real work from our San Diego and Austin shops. Same standards, same warranty, every job.
For smart home & home technology, here's the honest comparison. We'd tell you the same thing if we weren't trying to win the job.
Most smart home & home technology calls start when you are planning a space around how you want to live in it: a renovation, a new build, a room you are finally finishing, or a system that has grown into a tangle of apps and devices you want unified. The earlier we walk the property, the cleaner the wiring. Bringing us in before the drywall closes means device, speaker, and network runs go inside the walls instead of on them. We are happy to walk a project at the planning stage even if the install is still months out.
A walk of the property with attention to where devices and equipment will live, the wiring paths available through attic, crawlspace, and open walls, your existing network and where it falls short, and the power each location needs, a recessed outlet behind a TV or a dedicated circuit for an equipment rack. Where a run has to cross a finished wall, we find the cleanest path before we cut. The estimate we leave with is fixed for the scope as walked; change orders only happen for genuinely new findings, and you hear about them before we proceed.
Anyone can mount a device. Only a licensed electrician can add the outlet, circuit, or in-wall power the install usually needs, and do it to code. We do both in one visit.
Yes. Bring your own Sonos, Control4, or Eero gear, or we will source it. No proprietary lease, no locked platform.
We fish inside finished walls wherever the framing allows, which is the licensed-electrician advantage. Where it does not, we will show you the cleanest surface path before we run anything.
Yes, integration into your existing voice platform is standard. We do not force a rip-and-replace.
In Texas, yes: we offer Wisetack financing with a soft credit check, 2 to 10 year terms and 0 percent short-term options. California financing is coming; ask on the call.
Tell us what you want your home to do. A licensed electrician walks the job, writes a fixed quote, and one crew handles the power and the tech together.
