Control4 and Dana Smart Homes design and integrate complete custom smart home systems with professional programming and ongoing support, which costs $10,000+. We install consumer-grade devices you buy yourself (Ring, Nest, Ecobee, etc.) and handle the physical installation and basic setup. We’re much cheaper because we don’t design systems or provide tech support.
Yes. During your free consultation, we recommend compatible devices based on your home, WiFi setup, and budget. We explain the differences between brands and features so you can make an informed choice. You can buy from Home Depot, Best Buy, Amazon, or anywhere else—we install them all.
For basic replacement of an existing smart thermostat, yes. Suppose your home lacks a C-wire and your new thermostat requires one. In that case, you’ll need to hire a licensed electrician to run the wire, unless the manufacturer has a solution for your model built in. We can assess this during consultation and let you know upfront.
No. We install mesh WiFi systems and routers, position them for optimal coverage, and do basic testing. If your WiFi is slow after installation or devices keep disconnecting, we don’t provide tech support. We can recommend a local IT company if needed.
We can install multiple cameras on one visit. Each camera installation takes 30–45 minutes. Bundling 3+ cameras on the same visit qualifies for a 15% labor discount. However, we don’t design multi-camera security systems or set up complex NVR/DVR recording systems—just straightforward camera installation.
We can help with basic app setup and WiFi connection on your phone. However, we don’t provide detailed tech support for voice assistant integration or automation programming. Most devices work out of the box with minimal setup—we’ll get you started, but you may need the device maker’s support for advanced
Yes, for a fee. Old device removal is +$40–$60, depending on the device and condition. We responsibly dispose of e-waste.
If the device doesn’t function due to our installation error, we return to fix it at no charge within 30 days. If the device itself is defective, it’s covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. If the problem is WiFi-related or requires manufacturer tech support, that’s beyond our scope.
Each device takes 30–60 minutes, depending on type. A smart lock, doorbell camera, and WiFi mesh setup on one visit typically takes 2–3 hours. Bundling saves on travel time and minimal fees.
We serve all of Barrie (Holly, East Bayfield, South Shore, Allandale, Cundles East, and all neighborhoods), plus Bradford, Collingwood, and select GTA areas. Travel beyond 20km is $0.50/km or a flat $40 fee.
Call us at (705) 910-0106, fill out the contact form on our website, or email your details. We respond within 24 hours with availability. Most smart device installations can be scheduled within 1–3 days.
