Schedule: Monday - Friday: 12:00PM - 10:00PM
Smart home controls usually fail for electrical reasons, not software reasons. Most smart switches need a neutral conductor at the box, and plenty of older Central Florida homes were wired without one at switch locations. Load ratings matter too. A dimmer will misbehave or fail early if it is driving more than it is rated for.
407 Electrical handles the electrical side of smart home work: installing smart switches, dimmers and connected devices, adding a neutral or a dedicated circuit when one is needed, and confirming the device is rated for the load it controls.
We do this work in homes and in commercial spaces where lighting and controls need to be automated or managed centrally.
Most smart lighting problems come down to what is, or is not, in the switch box.
Most smart switches require a neutral. Older homes often ran switch loops without one, which is the usual reason a new smart switch will not power up.
Normally a compatibility problem between the dimmer and the LED fixtures, or a dimmer running more load than it is rated for.
Switching one light from two or three places adds real complexity. Wiring it correctly is the difference between a working scene and a circuit that behaves unpredictably.
Sometimes the network, often the wiring, and sometimes a device that is marginal for the load it is driving.
Smart thermostats, powered shades and controlled outdoor lighting sometimes need a circuit or a supply that does not exist yet.
We are regularly called in to correct switch installations that were started and abandoned once the wiring did not match the instructions.
Scope depends on your devices and your existing wiring, and is confirmed on your free estimate.
We confirm whether a neutral is present at each location and whether the circuit can support what you want to add.
Devices installed and terminated properly, with load ratings checked against the fixtures they control.
If the box does not have what the device needs, we run it.
Three-way and four-way locations wired so the smart devices behave consistently from every switch.
Providing the correct supply for smart thermostats and other controlled devices.
Each switch is tested before we leave.
Devices installed on correct wiring, with the right load ratings, stop dropping out and flickering.
Overloaded dimmers and improvised neutral connections generate heat. Neither belongs behind a wall plate.
Lighting, thermostats and outdoor circuits that work from a phone or on a schedule, without monthly troubleshooting.
Older switch locations brought up to a wiring standard that supports current and future devices.
Dimming and scheduling cut how long lights run at full output and extend lamp life.
Smart home work is electrical work first. 407 Electrical has been a certified electrical contractor in Central Florida for over 20 years, license #EC13011955, and our electricians train on current National Electrical Code requirements.
We make it easy for you to receive electrical services.
Send us a short description and photos of the situation, or set up a video call. We look at it with you and give you a quote.
Once the quote works for you, approve it and we move forward. No work starts before you have agreed on the price.
We send payment information for the deposit. As soon as it is received we move on to scheduling.
We work Monday to Friday, 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Pick a time from our availability and we will be there to do the work.
If you are planning a smart lighting project, have the wiring checked before the hardware arrives. Two things decide most of it: whether there is a neutral at each switch location, and what type and how much load each switch controls. A few photos of an open switch box during your free estimate will usually answer both.
If several locations turn out to need new wiring, that work is often easier to combine with other switch and dimmer upgrades at the same time.
Installation and replacement of light switches, dimmers and multi-location switching, including the wiring corrections that come with them.
Security camera installation and wiring for homes and businesses, with power and cabling run cleanly and permanently.
Troubleshooting and repair for outlets, switches, breakers, wiring and fixtures in homes and businesses across the Orlando area.
We provide smart home controls across our Central Florida service area:
Answers to what customers ask us most about smart home controls.
Most do. Older homes in Central Florida were often wired without a neutral at the switch box, which is the most common reason a smart switch will not power up. We can add one where it is needed.
Yes. Send us the model and a photo of the switch box with your free estimate request and we will confirm whether your wiring supports it.
Usually a compatibility issue between the dimmer and the LED fixtures, or a dimmer running more load than it is rated for. Both are fixable.
Yes. Multi-location switching is one of the more common reasons people call an electrician for smart lighting.
Replacing a device generally does not require a permit. If the job involves running new circuits, permitting usually applies and we handle it.
Yes. We work on both residential and commercial electrical systems in the Orlando area.
