## Smart Home Wiring in Fortuna, CA

Smart home gear fails for boring reasons: no neutral in the switch box, a dimmer that fights the LED driver, Wi-Fi that can't reach the back bedroom. Those are wiring problems, and wiring is what we fix.

Call (833) 652-8933 and describe what is happening. If it is a same-day job we will book it today, and if it needs a site visit to quote properly we will tell you that too.

## Situations we see in Fortuna

### 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.

### Smart switch has no neutral

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

### 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.

### Wi-Fi dead spots

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

## Reviews from Humboldt County

★★★★★

Flickering through the whole house turned out to be a loose neutral at the service. They found it in under an hour when two other companies had shrugged.

★★★★★

Our restaurant lost the walk-in circuit on a Friday. They came out after close, traced it to a failed feeder lug, and we opened Saturday on time.

Ken A.Commercial repair · Fortuna
★★★★★

Added outlets to three bedrooms and a weatherproof one out back. Cuts were small, patches were tidy, and everything got labeled at the panel.

## Smart Home Wiring in Fortuna — questions

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.

Can you install smart switches in an older Fortuna 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.

Do you do smart home wiring for Fortuna 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.

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.

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.
