Residential Services

Smart-home, lighting, and AV systems designed around the way you live.

We provide whole-home lighting control, audio/video, motorized shades, cameras, and the wiring that powers it all. From design and installation to ongoing support, we stay involved long after the job is done.

Most residential projects are billed time-and-materials, with hourly rates disclosed up front. For larger defined-scope projects — including whole-home lighting and shade systems, full A/V packages, and structured-wiring pre-wires — fixed-price quotes may be available upon request.

SAF-Electric full electrical contracting services launch mid-summer.

Whole-home lighting & shades

Lighting and shades should make the home feel calmer, not more complicated. We design the keypad layout, zones, scenes, and schedules so the system feels natural from the first walkthrough.

  • Whole-home keypad & zone planning
  • Scene programming & schedules
  • Astronomical time clock (sunset/sunrise)
  • Integration with HVAC, shades, and A/V

Smart-home integration

We connect the systems you already use — lighting, thermostats, shades, speakers, cameras, and voice assistants — so the home works from one clear set of controls.

  • Smart switches & in-room lighting
  • Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home setup
  • Smart thermostats (ecobee, Nest, Honeywell) tied to scenes
  • Hub & bridge configuration
  • Scene & routine programming

A/V integration

Displays, speakers, source gear, and controls are planned together so the room looks clean and the system is easy to use. The hidden work — cabling, racks, ventilation, and labeling — gets the same attention as the finished room.

  • TV mounting · Samsung, Sony, LG with concealed cabling
  • MantelMount & Strong articulating arms for over-fireplace installs
  • In-ceiling & in-wall speakers · Klipsch, Episode, Sonance
  • Sonos multi-room audio across the house
  • HDMI distribution & rack work (Strong racks)

Motorized shades

Quiet motors, appropriate fabrics, and simple controls make shades feel like part of the home instead of another device to manage. We plan wiring early when possible and use clean retrofit options when the home is already finished.

  • Hardwired motors for new construction
  • Battery retrofit for finished homes
  • Sunrise / sunset schedules
  • Keypad & app control

Lighting design

Good lighting is layout, fixture selection, dimming behavior, and control logic working together. We help plan the layers so each room has the right light for how it is actually used.

  • Layered lighting plans
  • Fixture selection & spec
  • Dimming compatibility checks
  • Coordination with your electrician

Structured wiring

Structured wiring gives the home a reliable backbone for network, A/V, cameras, and future upgrades. It is easiest during construction or remodeling, but we can also clean up finished homes with careful routing and labeling.

  • Hardwired data & coax pre-wire
  • A/V & speaker pre-wire
  • Central Strong rack & cable management
  • Coordination with the GC

Wi-Fi, mesh & home network

A smart home is only as reliable as the network underneath it. We right-size the system, use wired backhaul where it matters, and separate guest, work, and smart-device traffic when the home needs it.

  • eero mesh — typical recommendation for homes
  • Managed networking when the home needs it
  • Wired backhaul where it matters
  • Guest & smart-device network separation, site survey, channel tuning

Cameras & on-site recording

We install cameras with clean cabling, useful coverage, local recording, and phone access that does not depend on a per-camera subscription. Placement is planned for what you actually need to see.

  • 4K Luma cameras
  • Records locally — no monthly cloud fees
  • Outdoor & indoor, weatherproof installs
  • Phone & tablet remote view via the Luma app

Smart-home sensors (automation)

Door, window, and motion sensors can trigger helpful automations — lights after dark, reminders when something is left open, or simple notifications. These are smart-home automation sensors, not monitored alarm devices.

  • Door & window contact sensors
  • Motion sensors for hallways, closets, exteriors
  • Tied to scenes, lights, & phone notifications
  • Local-first — no monitoring subscription

Remote support & system health

Remote monitoring and rebootable power help us solve many issues without a truck roll. When something does need an on-site visit, clear labeling and documentation make the repair faster.

  • WattBox IP power conditioner in every rack
  • OvrC cloud monitoring of network gear & equipment
  • Remote reboot, remote diagnostics
  • Proactive alerts when something looks off

How a Residential Project Works

No mystery. Here’s what a typical smart-home or A/V project looks like from first contact to final walkthrough.

Process steps

/01

Reach Out

Call, text, or use the contact form. We’ll talk through your project, answer questions, share our hourly rate up front, and figure out the best next step.

/02

Walk-Through

For anything beyond a simple service call, we’ll schedule a free on-site walk-through. This helps us understand the space, how your family uses it, and what kind of lighting, wiring, audio/video, or control setup makes sense.

/03

Install & Program

We install the hardware, run and label wiring, program the system, and test everything room by room. We protect your home, clean up after ourselves, and make sure you understand how everything works before we leave.

/04

Final Invoice & Follow-Up

Invoices clearly show labor, materials, and programming time so you know exactly what you’re paying for. We also follow up after installation to make sure everything is working the way it should.

Pricing

Most residential work at SAF-Integration is billed time-and-materials. You pay for the hours worked and the materials used — not a padded flat-rate price built around worst-case assumptions.

Before we start, you'll know:

If the project ends up taking less time than expected, you pay less.

For larger defined-scope projects — such as whole-home lighting and shade systems, full-home A/V packages, or structured-wiring pre-wires — fixed-price quotes may be available upon request.

Site visits and consultations are free.
