Our Lake Keowee and Greenville, SC team provides a diverse range of home technology solutions, all fully customizable to suit your home’s style and needs. Find the services you’re looking for below!

Consultation

Each project starts with understanding your habits, preferences, and lifestyle. We begin with an in-depth needs analysis, where we’ll ask targeted questions to uncover your requirements and performance goals. Based on this insight, we’ll recommend products and solutions tailored to your home or business. Room by room, we’ll assess your space—often with a physical walkthrough—to see how you use each area and explore opportunities to integrate technology for added comfort and efficiency.

Project Specification

Following the initial needs analysis, we document all your budget considerations and performance expectations in detail. The preliminary design proposal provides a clear, room-by-room outline of the subsystems you wish to incorporate into your new smart home system. We break down features and functionalities for each area, covering essentials like lighting, audio, video, network, and motorized shades services. For instance, we’ll specify Wi-Fi coverage zones and recommend shading options tailored to each room. Once we present the project specifications, we’ll incorporate any feedback you have before moving forward.

Design & Engineering

Moving to the next step, we carefully interpret every detail into project specifications to deliver the capabilities and functionality you expect. During this phase, we provide model numbers, pricing for all hardware, and a full breakdown of labor requirements. Supported by Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and detailed project drawings, our engineering team develops a precise blueprint for our technicians and trade partners. This includes essential information on low-voltage wiring, lighting load configurations, engineering schematics, keypad customizations, and rack elevations.

Lighting Design

Our lighting design services bring the ideal atmosphere to every room in your house. We start by understanding your activities and preferences, then our experts create a layered lighting design tailored to each area. This involves selecting fixtures that suit specific purposes—overhead ceiling lights for general lighting, sconces for accents, and downlights for tasks like cabinet or table lighting. To maximize control, we group fixtures into dedicated loads. For instance, a “Gallery” load can automate all lights to highlight art in a room from a single switch or dimmer.

System Documentation

Comprehensive CAD designs and project drawings lead to a smooth and transparent construction and installation process, keeping everything on schedule. Our documentation process is essential for our technicians, guiding them to deliver every capability and functionality you expect. Our project documentation includes detailed low-voltage wiring plans, device placements, power requirements, rack elevations, and engineering schematics. We share these documents with you, property managers, architects, and designers involved in the project for cohesion across all teams.

Wiring

Low-voltage wiring is the backbone of all our integrated technology projects. Our designs incorporate fiber and copper wiring to support your AV, networking, lighting, and surveillance needs. This infrastructure is built to meet current system demands and easily adapt to future technology upgrades. We carefully select the right wire for each function and meticulously organize racks for easy maintenance and upgrades. Whether it’s new construction or retrofitting an existing space, we provide tailored wiring solutions to suit your needs.

Implementation

With engineering plans finalized, we move into the installation phase. This begins with setting up conduits, low-voltage wiring, and enclosures, followed by installing equipment like video displays, keypads, and speakers as specified in the original plans. Our certified team is well-versed in the unique installation standards of each manufacturer, so we can provide a precise and professional setup. By closely following the design you approved, we deliver an intuitive, reliable system that meets all your performance expectations.

Programming

Programming and system configuration are essential to unite all your technology into a seamless control system. Our programming services help your lighting, audio, video, and security devices communicate with each other. Our skilled programmers use their expertise to create a smooth control experience across touchscreens, keypads, remotes, and voice control. Since every project is unique, we customize your system interfaces to align perfectly with your specific capabilities and desired functionality.

Maintenance & Support

When the installation’s complete, we don’t leave you to fend for yourself. Our commitment extends beyond installation with ongoing maintenance and support to keep your system running smoothly. Technology naturally experiences wear over time, so we proactively fine-tune your system to meet performance and functionality standards. We offer customized service plans, including 24/7 remote management, tech support, priority response times, and annual on-site reviews. As your technology advisor, we’ll also keep you informed about new advancements that could enhance your system’s performance.

Lighting Control System Design

Enhance energy efficiency and your home’s ambiance with a lighting control system that lets you adjust brightness and colors throughout your home. Our lighting designer will craft a layered setup using overhead, accent, and task lighting to create the perfect vibe for any moment. Fixtures are grouped into dedicated loads, allowing control with a single switch or dimmer. Set scenes for multiple actions with one tap—like a “Bedtime” scene that gradually dims lights and closes motorized shades for restful sleep. We’ll provide thorough documentation detailing panel locations, wiring, and the placement of keypads, switches, and dimmers.
