Ensure the Highest Level of Safety, Functionality, and Design for Your Smart Home

Are you getting ready to upgrade your smart home? Or, perhaps you’re starting your first home automation project, incorporating a central platform that manages your home’s lighting, climate, security, entertainment, and more. No matter the scope or your project, at one point, preferably in the design phase, you’ll begin your search for an electrician near me in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho. 

While many home automation integrations legally require a professional, certified electrician, there are other reasons that you want a licensed electrician on your team. Here, we’ll explore what these professionals offer and how they help keep you and your home safe.

Why Smart Homes Require a Certified Electrician

You may have heard that much of a smart home requires wiring under 50V, low-voltage tasks that system integrators can perform. Almost all wiring, however, connects to the main electric panel, which requires the expertise of a licensed electrician. When these low-voltage components require incorporation into a new or existing electrical panel or even in close proximity, safety warrants the expertise of a certified electrician. 

Because of the interconnectivity in smart homes, houses contain complex wiring, with old or outdated systems increasing potential hazards and possible injuries. Something as simple as accessing a wall cavity without the necessary precautions can manifest in hidden electrical dangers.

Essentially, working with an electrician results in a safer, higher-quality system.

Upgrading Your Home Infrastructure

Intelligent home systems and even smart appliances may require upgrading your home’s infrastructure. These upgrades can include smart electrical panels that replace standard electrical panels. These panels connect to smart systems, monitoring and regulating their performance. 

Many smart homes have also embraced the green revolution, integrating solar panels and control systems that enable them to switch off the grid and use solar energy at the touch of a button. Commonly, they use battery storage systems, allowing them to store energy generated from the sun for future use.

In many of these “greener” homes, you’ll also find an electrical vehicle charger station. These installations require qualified electricians.

Advanced Lighting Systems

Many smart homes are taking advantage of the latest LED lighting technology that brings beauty and effortless control of your home’s lighting. By installing sensors and new switches, you experience lighting that changes based on the time of day, the level of natural light, and whether anyone is in a room. Installing new light fixtures requires some degree of electrical work and is best left to an electrician.
