A smart home is only as good as the wiring behind it. Plenty of Denver homeowners buy a box of smart switches, open the wall, and discover there is no neutral wire, no ground, or a tangle of cloth-insulated conductors from the 1940s. Denver Power Electric takes the guesswork out of home automation. We install smart switches, dimmers, lighting, thermostats, locks, cameras, and whole-home control so everything works on day one and keeps working for years.
We have wired smart upgrades across Denver's full range of housing stock, from new builds in Stapleton and Green Valley Ranch to century-old Victorians in Capitol Hill and Curtis Park. That experience matters, because the right approach in a 2018 townhome is very different from the right approach in a 1925 bungalow with two-wire circuits. Our licensed master electricians handle the parts that trip up DIYers: adding neutrals, grounding circuits, and making sure your electrical panel can carry the load before you add automation on top of it.
Common smart home projects we install include:
- Smart switches and dimmers with proper neutral wiring
- App- and voice-controlled lighting and recessed lighting scenes
- Smart thermostats sized for Colorado's heating and cooling swings
- Hardwired video doorbells, cameras, and smart locks
- Smart smoke and CO detectors that alert your phone
- Whole-home hubs, structured wiring, and dedicated network runs
Denver's older neighborhoods present real challenges for automation. Knob-and-tube wiring, two-prong outlets, and undersized panels simply cannot support a modern connected home safely. We routinely pair smart upgrades with targeted rewiring or outlet and switch upgrades so your new technology has a solid, grounded foundation. We will always tell you honestly whether your home is ready or needs prep work first, rather than installing devices that will glitch, drop offline, or fail inspection.
The goal is a system that feels effortless: lights that follow your routine, a thermostat that learns Denver's dry climate, and security you can check from anywhere. We design around the platforms you already use, whether that is Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, or a dedicated controller, and we document every switch and circuit so future changes are simple. Founded in 2009 and holding CO Master Electrician License #ME.0047213, we are fully insured and price every smart home project flat-rate and upfront. Tell us what you want your home to do, and we will build the electrical backbone to make it happen.
