Home Automation
San Diego
Transform your home into an intelligent living space with professional smart home automation. Control lighting, climate, security, and entertainment from anywhere.
Why Choose Professional Home Automation?
Home automation has evolved from a luxury amenity to an essential feature of modern living in San Diego's premium real estate markets. Today's smart home systems offer unprecedented control over your living environment, combining convenience, security, energy efficiency, and entertainment into a single, intuitive platform.
Unlike DIY smart home products that create a fragmented experience with multiple apps and incompatible devices, professional home automation systems provide unified control of your entire home. Whether you're in La Jolla, Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, or anywhere in San Diego County, we design and install integrated systems that work seamlessly together.
Our certified technicians specialize in Control4, Savant, Crestron, and Lutron systems—the industry's most reliable and sophisticated platforms. These enterprise-grade solutions offer the performance, reliability, and scalability that luxury homeowners demand, with the ability to expand and adapt as technology evolves.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does home automation cost in San Diego?
Home automation systems typically range from $15,000 for basic whole-home control to $100,000+ for luxury estates with advanced integration. A typical 3,000-4,000 sq ft home in areas like Carmel Valley or Del Mar averages $30,000-$50,000 for comprehensive automation including lighting, climate, security, and entertainment control.
What's the best home automation system for my San Diego home?
Control4 is the most popular choice for its reliability and ease of use. Savant is preferred for luxury homes seeking elegant Apple integration. Crestron is ideal for large estates requiring commercial-grade performance. We'll recommend the best system based on your home size, budget, and specific needs during your free consultation.
Can I control my home automation system with Alexa or Google?
Yes! All major systems (Control4, Savant, Crestron) integrate with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit. You can use voice commands to control lights, temperature, music, and more. We configure voice control during installation for seamless operation.
How long does home automation installation take?
Installation timelines vary by project scope. A retrofit installation in an existing home typically takes 3-5 days for basic systems, 1-2 weeks for comprehensive whole-home automation. New construction projects are integrated during the building phase. We provide detailed timelines during the design consultation.
Will home automation work during internet outages?
Yes! Professional systems like Control4 and Crestron operate on your local network and continue functioning even without internet. Core features like lighting, climate, and security remain operational. Cloud-based features (remote access, voice assistants) require internet connectivity.
Can I add home automation to my existing home?
Absolutely! Modern wireless technologies make retrofit installations easier than ever. While new construction offers the most flexibility, we successfully automate existing homes throughout San Diego County. We'll assess your home's wiring and recommend the best approach during your consultation.
What's the ROI on home automation?
Home automation delivers returns through energy savings (20-30% reduction in utility bills), increased property value (3-5% premium), and enhanced lifestyle. In San Diego's luxury markets, smart homes sell faster and command higher prices. Most homeowners recoup their investment within 5-7 years through energy savings alone.
