Smart Home Electrical Installation in Costa Mesa & Orange County
Smart home technology is only as good as the wiring behind it. Wilson Electric provides the licensed electrical work that smart home systems depend on — dedicated circuits, low-voltage wiring, smart panel integration, and proper load management throughout Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, and Orange County.
We work with homeowners, interior designers, and AV integrators to make sure the electrical infrastructure is right before any automation system goes in. No workarounds, no overloaded circuits, no code violations.
Smart Home Services
Smart lighting installation. Lutron, Leviton, Caseta, Kasa, and other smart switch and dimmer systems. We install the devices, ensure proper neutral wire availability, and configure multi-way switching for large rooms and open floor plans.
Home automation wiring. Pre-wiring new construction and remodels for future smart home integration — structured wiring, low-voltage conduit, and dedicated circuits positioned where automation panels and hubs will live.
Smart panel integration. New smart panels and energy monitoring systems require proper electrical planning. We install and integrate smart electrical panels including Span, Leviton, and others.
EV-ready and energy management circuits. Smart home energy management starts with properly sized circuits for high-load devices. We install and label circuits for EV chargers, battery storage systems, and solar-ready panels.
Whole house surge protection. Essential for any home with smart devices, home automation, or EV chargers. A panel-level SPD protects the entire system from utility voltage events.
Backup power & battery storage. Integration of battery storage systems like Tesla Powerwall and Enphase IQ Battery with your home's electrical panel and circuits.
Smart outdoor lighting. Low-voltage and line-voltage outdoor lighting circuits for automated exterior lighting systems, landscape lighting, and security lighting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do smart switches require a neutral wire?
Most modern smart switches (Lutron Caseta being a notable exception) require a neutral wire at the switch box. Older homes often don't have neutral wires run to switches. We can evaluate your existing wiring and determine if neutral wires need to be added.
Can you work with my AV or automation integrator?
Yes. We work alongside AV integrators, Crestron and Control4 dealers, and smart home designers. Our role is the licensed electrical work — panel circuits, line-voltage wiring, and code compliance — while the integrator handles programming and low-voltage systems.
What is a smart electrical panel?
A smart panel (like Span or the Leviton Load Center) replaces your traditional breaker panel with one that provides circuit-level energy monitoring, remote control of individual circuits, and integration with EV chargers and battery storage systems. Wilson Electric installs and wires smart panels throughout Orange County.
Is smart home wiring different from regular wiring?
The line-voltage wiring (120V and 240V circuits) follows the same NEC code as any other electrical work. What changes is the planning — ensuring neutral wires are present at switches, dedicated circuits are positioned for hubs and equipment, and panel capacity is sized for future loads.
Do you install Tesla Powerwall?
We install the electrical infrastructure and gateway wiring for battery storage systems. For full Powerwall installation including solar integration, we work alongside certified solar installers.
