Areas of Expertise:

Security System:

A security system is a combination of devices and services which work to protect a residence or business against the threat of invasion or intrusion. Security systems sometimes serve as protection from natural disasters as well. Residential, commercial, and industrial customers alike use security systems to safeguard against theft (burglary) and property damage. Security systems are available in a range of formats, levels, and pricing packages. They may involve professional installation or DIY installation. Whether these systems are intended to protect against a single incident or high threat of invasion at all times, they may involve a number of components, such as video cameras, alarm systems, smart home automation, notifications, smart locks, smart sensors, and more.

Smart Home Automation:

Smart home automation offers the latest in security system technology, providing a way for homeowners or business owners to monitor their security through a smart device or home base or hub control panel. Automation syncs both security system components and other smart home features, such as thermostats. From a security system app, users can control their smart locks, window and door sensors, receive notifications regarding carbon monoxide and heat sensors, and more. Smart home automation systems may be connected via wired or wireless systems and generally work alongside full security systems. They may be self-monitored or professionally monitored.

Home Theater Systems:

A home theater system combines a range of home entertainment features to recreate the theater experience. Some of these features include surround sound, lights, TVs, DVD or Blu-Ray players, and speakers. While all home theater systems include surround sound, not all surround sound systems are used for home theaters. Users may select professional or DIY installation for their home theater system, but professional installation is recommended due to the intricate wiring often involved in these systems. Home theaters may also pair with home automation systems to allow users to control their system via a smart device.

Security Camera Installation:

Security cameras, also called CCTV, are used within security systems to help users monitor a certain area. Unlike surveillance cameras, video cameras send signals to a monitor at a specific location and don’t necessarily connect to an IP network. Security cameras serve to help thwart home crime attempts, including theft. Cameras may be placed in plain sight or hidden, depending on security system needs. A variety of security system cameras are available, ranging from video doorbell cameras to a number of different indoor and outdoor cameras, and cameras may involve self-monitoring or professional monitoring. Installation of security cameras depends on user needs and the security system provider, but either DIY installation or professional installation may be available. Professional installation helps avoid wiring issues and other issues that may arise during DIY installation.

Services Offered:

Residential Security Services:

Some companies and certified professionals provide solutions that are focused on delivering a set of products and services for residential customers only. They are designed to fit any home’s needs, from certified locksmiths and electricians to home security systems, home automation, and home theater systems. Companies offering residential services dedicate themselves to provide excellent service to customers who live in different types of homes, from small apartments to larger homes.

Smoke Alarm Installation:

Household smoke alarms are self-contained devices that detect smoke and broadcast a visual or audible warning locally. Smoke alarm installations are typically seen in residential apartments and homes. Smoke sensors come in hardwired or wireless option, powered by electricity or battery-powered. Smoke detectors also sense smoke but are not self-contained. Instead, they operate as part of an interconnected fire alarm system. Smoke detector installations are commonly set up for commercial applications, such as hospitals, warehouses, and hotels. They are usually controlled by a central fire alarm system with battery backup. Smoke detectors are connected wired or wirelessly. In many jurisdictions, they require professional installations by certified technicians. Additionally, an expert operator is employed for all smoke detector repairs that may arise.

Lighting Installation Services:

Most lighting in homes and businesses are now energy-efficient LED (light-emitting diodes) lights. However, new lighting devices and fixtures should be professionally installed by licensed technicians. A lighting technician can provide installation, repair, and service of all lighting devices, fixtures, and products, for both indoor and outdoor lighting. Lighting technicians may offer regular service contracts for repair and maintenance and even help home and business owners choose optimal lighting solutions.

Outlet Installation:

An electrical outlet is a socket that connects electrical equipment to an electricity supply or grid. The electrical supply provides alternating current to the 110V AC outlet. They are also known as electrical sockets, plugs, outlets, and wall plugs. There are two main types of outlets: domestic and industrial. Typically, electrical outlets are installed on wall surfaces, but they can also be installed in the floor or ceiling. There is an ample number of applications for these boxes, like housing connections for electrical appliances, lighting fixtures, smart plugs for home automation, ceiling fans, and more. An outlet box installation is also used for joining wires in electrical circuits and wiring, which can protect against short circuits and electrocution. When in need to install outlets or switches, it is best to hire a certified electrician. They can provide correct and safe installation, maintenance, and reparation of any of the circuitry and its components.

Electrical Panel Installation:

Electrical panels are metal electrical boxes that receive the main power for a home or business. This power is distributed throughout the home or building through circuits via circuit breakers. Because of the massive amount of power surging through these circuit breakers and the possible risk of harm from the current, electrical panels must be installed by professional electricians. The same is true for repairing or upgrading electrical panels, or diagnosing system issues.

Electric Vehicle Charging Station Installation:

Electric vehicles (EV) use electric motors for power, which means they must be charged at some point. Many EVs require charging stations, though some come with converters which allow them to be charged using a standard outlet. An EV charging station is high voltage, which means it will require professional installation and repair by a licensed electrician.

Electrical Generator Installation:

Electric generators convert mechanical/chemical energy into electrical power. Homeowners or business owners use generators during power outages or power disruptions to provide a continuous, temporary flow of power. An electric generator is permanently mounted to its given space. Installation of generators requires knowledge of building codes, plumbing, and electrical skills. For this reason, it’s best to employ professional services for generator installation and repair. Sometimes, routine checks are provided with generator services to ensure safe operation.

Boiler And Water Heater Services:

Boilers provide heat to homes or buildings via radiators or air heating systems. Large water heaters store and heat water for later use. These systems require complex connections and must be professionally installed. Services may be provided by a licensed heating contractor or a heating service business, and may range from regular service contracts to 24-hour services.

Appliance Installation Services:

Not all appliances require professional installation or repair, though it is a good idea to seek professional installation for new appliances, smart appliances, or for people who do not have technical experience. Typically, installation costs cover just the installation services without having to make any changes or alterations to the home or business space. Minor alterations may be added to the installation price with some service providers. Installation may be included within the price for new home appliances, depending on the supplier. Some suppliers also offer a repair/service plan for a contractual price.

Air Conditioning Unit Services:

Formally known as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, these systems work to cool and heat, as well as regulate humidity in, a given space. Some of these systems double as air quality control systems, filtering air and keeping it clean for the people and animals breathing it. Most HVAC system installations and repairs are performed by home appliance technicians. However, installation of these systems is generally safer when performed by someone with expertise specifically in HVAC appliances.
