Smart Home Installation in Prospect, CT
Prospect is a smaller residential community whose housing was largely built between the 1960s and 1980s. Wiring from that period was installed without a neutral conductor at switch boxes — standard practice at the time, but a persistent issue for smart switch installations today. Most smart switches need that neutral to function, and homes of this era almost always lack it at the switch location. PowerPlus Electric checks every switch box during the estimate and before installation begins, ensuring the right approach is chosen for each location rather than discovering problems after the drywall is open.
PowerPlus handles the electrical scope of smart home projects: device wiring, circuit work, box upgrades, and C-wire thermostat connections. We are electricians, not IT or AV technicians. Our license is CT E1 #197810, and we operate within Eversource Energy’s service territory. Call for an estimate: (203) 747-5335.
