Wondering if your 1990s panel can actually handle a houseful of smart devices? Smart home wiring and panel upgrades cover the electrical groundwork that makes everything else in a whole-home automation system possible, from panel capacity checks to pulling new low-voltage runs for cameras, access points, and sensors.
Gilbert's housing stock ranges from 1990s builds to brand new construction, and each era comes with different panel capacity and wiring access, which is why Gilbert Smart Home Automation starts with an inspection before quoting any upgrade work.

Materials
Materials and Methods for Smart Home Wiring & Panel Upgrades
Panel capacity upgrade kits
Older 1990s-era panels often need added capacity before supporting multiple new smart circuits, so we check load before recommending a full panel swap.
Cat6 low-voltage cable runs
Used for wired cameras, access points, and network backhaul, offering more reliable performance than wireless-only setups.
Surge-protected sub-panels
Protects sensitive smart home electronics from power spikes common during Arizona summer storms.
