We install safe, reliable wiring that powers smart devices, lighting control, security systems, and whole-home automation.
At Hatchett Electrical Services, Inc., we help homeowners bring smart technology into their homes the right way. Smart home devices can make daily life easier, safer, and more efficient, but they only work well when the wiring, power supply, and device setup are done correctly. We provide smart home and automation wiring for new systems, upgrades, remodels, and replacements, with a focus on clean installation, dependable performance, and long-term safety.
Our smart home wiring service is built around real-world use. We do not just install devices and leave. We look at how you want your home to function, then we wire and configure systems that fit your layout, routines, and goals. Whether you want better lighting control, smart switches, automated shades, connected security devices, or whole-home integration, we make sure the electrical side of the project is solid from the start.
We provide wiring and electrical installation for many types of smart home and home automation systems, including:
If you already have products in mind, we can install customer-supplied devices in many cases. If you are still deciding, we can guide you toward practical options that match your budget and the way you want to use your home.
Every smart home project starts with a conversation. We ask what you want to automate, which devices you already have, and whether this is a single-room upgrade or a larger whole-home system. From there, we inspect the existing electrical system, check for switch leg issues, neutral wire availability, breaker capacity, and device location needs. This step matters because many smart devices require proper wiring conditions to work reliably.
Once we understand the project, we plan the wiring layout and installation approach. In some homes, this means replacing older switches, adding new wiring, installing dedicated circuits, or updating boxes to fit modern smart controls. In remodels and new construction, we can pre-wire for future smart devices so your system is easier to expand later. We complete the installation carefully, test operation, and make sure each device has dependable power and proper function.
Many smart home products are sold as easy DIY upgrades, but the electrical requirements are not always simple. Some devices need a neutral wire. Some require specific box depth. Others need steady power, load compatibility, or separation from other controls. Poor wiring can lead to flickering lights, devices dropping offline, overheating, nuisance tripping, or controls that never work the way they should.
When we handle the job, you get more than convenience. You get a safer installation that is based on sound electrical practices. We make sure switches, dimmers, relays, controls, and connected loads are wired properly and installed in a way that supports reliable day-to-day use. Our experience helps prevent the common problems that happen when smart devices are added to outdated or incompatible wiring.
Homeowners call us for smart home upgrades for many reasons. Some want to save energy with programmable lighting and smart thermostats. Some want more security with cameras, video doorbells, and smart locks. Others simply want convenience, like turning off lights from a phone, creating scenes for mornings and evenings, or controlling outdoor lighting on a timer.
We can help with projects like:
Smart home planning is much easier during construction or remodeling. If walls are open, we can install low-voltage pathways, power locations, switch legs, extra boxes, and other infrastructure that supports current and future automation. This gives you more flexibility and often produces a cleaner finished result. It can also save money compared to trying to retrofit everything later.
For remodels, we coordinate smart wiring upgrades with the rest of the electrical work so your lighting, controls, outlets, and specialty devices all work together. We think through placement, accessibility, and future expansion so your system is not just modern today, but useful for years to come.
Not every home is ready for smart technology without a few electrical upgrades. Older homes may have limited neutral wiring, crowded switch boxes, aging devices, or panels that need attention before new controls are added. We review these conditions and explain what is needed in clear terms. If your project requires electrical updates to support automation safely, we can handle that work as part of the job.
Our goal is to give you a smart home system that works well with your home, not one that creates ongoing issues. That is why we pay attention to the basics: load requirements, breaker sizing, box fill, switch compatibility, GFCI protection where needed, outdoor-rated components, and dependable power at every device location.
We know smart home projects involve more than just tech products. They involve trust. You want someone in your home who understands the electrical system, respects your property, communicates clearly, and installs everything with care. That is how we approach every job. We bring hands-on electrical experience to each project, and we focus on practical solutions that make sense for your home and your budget.
We are straightforward about what will work, what may need to be upgraded, and how to get the best results from your smart home investment. Our work is neat, code-conscious, and centered on long-term performance. Whether you want a few smart switches installed or a more complete automation wiring plan, we are here to help.
If you are ready to upgrade your home with smart lighting, automation controls, connected security devices, or future-ready wiring, contact Hatchett Electrical Services, Inc. We are happy to talk through your ideas, inspect your existing setup, and recommend the right next steps. Call us today to schedule your smart home and automation wiring service and let us help you build a home that is safer, more convenient, and easier to control.
We start with a home visit to learn which smart devices, lighting controls, panels, cameras, speakers, and automation features you want. Then we map wiring paths, power needs, network requirements, and compatibility so your system is dependable from day one, usually within 1 to 3 days of first contact.
Once approved, we schedule the work, pull low-voltage and line-voltage wiring where needed, label circuits, and install smart switches, hubs, outlets, and control devices to code. We coordinate each phase carefully to reduce disruption and complete most residential smart home wiring projects in 1 to 3 days.
Before we wrap up, we test every connection, confirm app pairing, program key scenes and automations, and check device response across the system. We finish with a hands-on walkthrough, answer your questions clearly, and make sure you feel confident using your new smart home setup before we leave.
If you’re thinking about adding smart lighting, smart switches, cameras, a video doorbell, whole-home audio, or other home automation features, these are the questions we hear most often. We want you to feel informed and confident before you book.

"Had them wire my shed from the existing extension cord set up to hard wired to my breaker panel....the work was done exceptionally and up to code!!!! Price was very very fair and was done in a couple of hours... I thought it would take longer and cost more.....will be calling them again for any electrical projects"
"Highly recommend! We had them come to install some fixtures at our home and we are very satisfied. Great work at a fair price."
"Aaron Hatchett came to the rescue after THE BIG WINDSTORM had torn the main power line from our house and we could not get help. He said "there is no way I can leave you here in danger with this thing hanging by a thread". He not only knew what to do to repair the problem, but he also knew what he had to do to work with the city inspector and the electric company. He stayed in clear communication, saved us money, and went above and beyond."
"Hatchett Electrical did an outstanding job replacing numerous panel boxes at several apartment/commercial properties we own. They worked through the process with Dominion and the cities public works and utility departments thoroughly and very knowledgeably. Hatchett also worked on other residential projects and did a great job. I highly recommend Hatchett Electrical for any commercial or residential electrical work."
"Hatchett Electrical was GREAT! They were punctual, honest, and did a great job! We had an issue with our bathroom receptacles and Chris had everything back up and running smoothly for us! He checked out our electrical box and discovered a few issues that he corrected for us as well. We were very grateful for his help. We would highly recommend this company and plan to use them again soon for more upcoming electrical projects. A++"
"I highly recommend Hatchett Electrical. I hired them to install permanent pole lighting and an electrical outlet on a pier I had constructed the previous year. The pier had an electrical connection for a boat lift installed by another electrician. Although problems were discovered by Hatchett Electrical, caused by the previous electrician, Aaron and company were able to work through this in a very professional manner. Their price was fair, they were very responsive as we worked through issues. I repeat. I HIGHLY recommend this company for any of your current and future electrical needs. Aaron is the best!"
"On time, On budget, great communication and follow up.. what more could you ask for!!!!"
"What a great bunch of folks!! Aaron worked HARD to ensure my electrical was perfect for my home remodel. He was on the phone negotiating when there were problems with vendors. He was my champion when things didn’t go quite as planned (through no fault of Hatchett Electrical). I met two different crews during their work with us. Both crews were personable, competent professionals, and very helpful when asked to do something new. My project was not a common everyday install, but there was no hesitation to venture into new territory and I believe they were just as excited as I was to ‘figure it out’. Eric and Nate especially were tasked with the majority of the install. From electrical panels to light switches to overhead inserts to countertop lighting, they did EVERYTHING as requested, even when mistakes were made that others may have become frustrated by. It is not often that you can feel 100% confident that your request will be completed with exemplary workmanship. This, however is the case with Hatchett Electrical. Their steadfast determination to provide a professional product was evident at every turn. Without any hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend them. I could not be more pleased with everything that they did for my project. Outstanding, excellent work! They will most definitely be my go to electrical team moving forward!"

"Issue: a simple 120V light switch in kitchen that controls garbage disposal stopped working, and the wire was still HOT! As a homeowner, I bought new light switch thinking that was issue, change out, still no power. I called Aaron at Hatchett to make an appointment. He was gracious and professional to a point where he quickly trouble-shot the problem, suggested hitting the reset button on the disposal; which correctly the issue. He could have driven out, made the $120 plus cost for any materials, but he was more concern about resolving an issue. That is customer service and a business that is all about you the homeowner!! Bravo Zulu!!"
"I recently called Hatchett Electrical, last minute on a Monday, and was immediately set-up with an appointment for that same afternoon! The electrician was already finished with his jobs for the day but took the call to come to my house that afternoon around 3pm. He was right on time, walked me through the initial troubleshooting, and was very straight forward and honest the whole time during the appointment. He found and fixed our issue with some bad connections outside on our patio in less than an hour! I was highly impressed with the customer service of this company and will definitely use them again."
