## Smart Home Wiring in Hollister, CA

Half the smart switch installs we are called to fix in Hollister were doomed at purchase, because the box had two conductors and no neutral. We check what is in your walls before you spend money on devices.

## Situations we see in Hollister

### Smart switch has no neutral

Older Hollister switch loops carry no neutral. We either pull one, relocate the switch leg, or specify a no-neutral device that works with your fixture.

### Doorbell chimes weakly or not at all

Video doorbells need more power than a 1960s transformer delivers. Replacing it is a small job with an immediate result.

### Wi-Fi dead spots

More mesh nodes on bad backhaul won't fix it. A CAT6 run to a ceiling access point will, permanently.

### Thermostat needs a C-wire

Common in older homes. We pull a new thermostat cable rather than relying on power-stealing adapters that cause intermittent faults.

## Reviews from San Benito County

★★★★★

Smart switches wouldn't work because there was no neutral. They pulled one, got everything on Lutron, and set up the scenes before leaving.

Bought a 1948 house with cloth wiring. They phased the rewire so we always had power in half the house, and gave us paperwork our insurer accepted.

Hot tub circuit and disconnect. Permit, inspection, everything. Showed up when they said and cleaned up after.

## Smart Home Wiring in Hollister — questions

Can you install smart switches in an older Hollister home?

Usually yes, but it depends on whether the switch box has a neutral. We check first and tell you which devices will work in your specific boxes before you buy anything.

Can you run ethernet in a house with no attic access?

Often, using closets, chases and stacked walls. We survey the route and tell you honestly what is reachable and what would mean drywall repair.

Is hardwired better than wireless for cameras?

For reliability, yes. A PoE camera has power and data on one cable and does not drop off your network. Wireless is fine for renters and quick coverage.

Will my smart lighting still work if the internet goes down?

Local-control systems keep working on the wall switch and keypads. Cloud-only devices may lose scenes and schedules, which is why we prefer local control for lighting.

Do you do smart home wiring for Hollister remodels?

Yes, and that is the ideal time. Open walls make structured cabling cheap, and pre-wiring for future devices costs a fraction of retrofitting later.
