“Half the house went dark at 9pm and they had someone here before eleven. Found a burnt neutral in the panel, fixed it that night, and the price was exactly what the dispatcher quoted me.”
Marcus D., Chelsea“Standby generator install. They sized it based on what we actually run instead of selling us the biggest unit. Kicked on by itself during the storm last month exactly like they said it would.”
Linda M., Chelsea“EV charger and a sub panel in the detached garage. Long run, done neatly in conduit, and they tested it at full amperage before leaving.”
Josh V., ChelseaMost smart switches need a neutral wire, and switch boxes in older Chelsea homes often only have a hot and a switch leg. We either pull a neutral to the box or fit a switch designed to run without one, depending on what the wall allows.
For phones and laptops, no. For cameras, access points, TVs and anything you do not want dropping out, hardwired is the difference between a smart home and a frustrating one. A few strategic ethernet runs in a Chelsea home fix most reliability complaints.
Yes. We hardwire cameras with PoE, upgrade doorbell transformers that cannot carry a video unit, and route cable so nothing is visible or reachable from the ground.
We work with Lutron, Ring, Nest, Ecobee, Kasa, Aqara, UniFi, Hubitat and Home Assistant setups in Chelsea. If you have already picked a platform, we wire to it rather than trying to sell you a different one.
That is the ideal time. Pre-wiring during Chelsea construction costs a fraction of retrofitting later, and we will map out drops, panel locations and conduit paths with your builder before the drywall goes up.
