Smart Home Installation in Seymour, CT
Seymour’s housing reflects its Naugatuck Valley roots — a dense inventory of older residential properties, many of which were built well before smart home technology existed. In homes of this age, the neutral wire is almost never present at switch locations. Electricians of that era had no reason to pull it there, and that omission is now a consistent hurdle for smart switch installations. PowerPlus Electric treats the neutral wire assessment as a required first step for every Seymour project, determining the right device type and approach for each switch box before any installation begins.
PowerPlus handles the electrical work: wiring, device installation, circuit modifications, and box upgrades. We are not an IT or networking company. All work is performed under CT E1 #197810 and falls within Eversource Energy’s service territory. Call for an estimate: (203) 747-5335.

PowerPlus handles wiring, box work, circuit installation, and physical device connections. We do not provide Wi-Fi configuration, hub setup, or the creation of automations and scenes — those are IT and AV responsibilities.
