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
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:
The hourly rate — disclosed up front
How materials are billed
A realistic estimate of labor hours for your project
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.
