- Top rated in New Jersey for Electrical Vehicle Charger Installation (Residential/Commercial) - Specializing in residential and commercial Generator installations - Leader in internal and external lighting designs - Licensed, insured and bonded electrical contracting firm, NJ License #16244 We care about the overall project goals and will do whatever it takes to make it happen. We will treat your job site or home like our own homes. We are committed to provide the latest technology, highest quality products, superior customer service and competitive prices. Our estimates are free and no initial service fees.

"WARNING- do not use this company, didn’t do the job agreed and paid for and don’t guarantee work!!!! I had a simple GFCI outlet installation required for a tankless hot water heater in our basement. They came out for an estimate, we agreed on where the source circuit would be to run wire to the new outlet and they took pictures and wrote details of the job. Electrician came out to do the job and I plugged the hot water heater in and it seemed to be ok and paid the bill. However, after the electrician left, we notice the hot water heater stops producing hot water after a few minutes or doesn’t turn on every time. Suspecting there may be an issue with the hot water heater, I called the plumber who installed the hot water heater and everything seems fine with the heater and new outlet from their diagnosis and they can’t determine the issue. I then did some diagnostics myself and noticed the electrician didn’t use the agreed power source I paid for to run wire to the new outlet, he used a different much closer source from a light fixture box, saving him on wire cost and labor time. Suspecting the issue may be a faulty GFCI outlet or something on the circuit, I called the electrician to tell them the situation and they agreed to come out after some haggling to investigate but said I’d need to pay their min $120 fee for the visit if the issue is unrelated to their work. The electrician came out and replaced the GFCI outlet and after testing the hot water heater, the same issue happened with hot water not coming out. With the issue now appearing to be something on the circuit that’s affecting the sensitivity of the GFCI outlet, I asked the electrician to run the circuit from the original source agreed and I paid for. I was told he can’t do that and needs to talk to his boss and asked me to pay for the visit. I refused to pay telling him they haven’t installed the circuit as agreed and I paid for. He agreed and said someone will get back to me to run the circuit from the original agreed source. After a couple of weeks I get a call asking if I’d pay $120 to run the wire from the original source circuit I already paid for. I said I wouldn’t and they should honor the original agreement. The person said he’d talk to his boss. After 3 weeks of hearing nothing, I got fed up and ran a wire myself from the original circuit source to the GFCI outlet. I plugged in the hot water heater and it worked perfectly, confirming the issue was something on the circuit the electrician chose to run the wire from. All I asked for was to do the job we agreed and I paid for and everything would have been fine. They tried to nickel and dime me to pay more to redo their work which wasn’t what we agreed and I paid for. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!!!"

Welcome to our profile. Integrated Electrical Solutions is a full service electrical house. We do great work, at a fair price. Our pricing is very simple: we charge a $175 service fee, and $150 per hour for Lead Electricians, $115 per hour for Second Electricians, and $85 to $95 per hour for Helpers. , plus parts for electrical, drain work and appliances. We service all brands of portable and stand by generators. Work before 6 am as well as night after 6pm, weekends and holidays is subject to additional charges. We normally charge $125 to clean dryer vents and that's it. We provide outstanding, well equipped mechanics, who know their jobs. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR- TOP SHELF FIVE START SERVICE. Integrated Electrical Solutions is a fully licensed and fully insured electrical company. We do emergency work 24/7, 365. When you want the best and you want it done right the first time, call us. thank you!

"The experience was not quite what I expected. I had clearly explained the scope—replacing 10-12 standard switches with smart switches giving model number/spec—and was hoping for a lump sum proposal, but they only offered hourly rates, which is understandable. They estimated it would take about 2 hours, but the job ended up taking over 4. While they mentioned having done similar installations before, they spent quite a bit of time reviewing instructions on site, which added to the time and cost. The final bill was over $800 for a couple switches, including a service fee and $10 for wire connector? (The switches come with connector) Just a heads-up to others: be sure to ask detailed questions about hourly charges and how time will be managed, especially for smart device installations."

Home automation services FAQs

The difference between smart home and home automation technology is that home automation is a more comprehensive home control system. It requires more expertise and work to install and set up, but homeowners have greater control over the various areas and functions in the home via their smartphone. Smart home technology is generally easier to install and set up. But it typically needs an internet connection to work as intended, which can limit functionality if there’s a disruption in internet service.

Home automation systems offer a wide range of automation products and services. Some of the most popular options include:

  • Cameras: $35–$350

  • Door and window sensors: $20–$100

  • Doorbells: $100–$350

  • Locks: $150–$400

  • Garage door openers: $150–$500

  • Lighting: $20–$100

  • Speakers: $30–$300

  • Outlets and plugs: $20–$100

  • Thermostats: $150–$300

  • Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors: $50–$150

  • Smart home hubs: $200–$900

  • Blinds: $50–$75

  • Appliances: $50–$3,000

  • Vacuums: $200–$1,200

  • Lawn systems: $80–$300

  • Wi-Fi and Mesh systems: $200–$500

  • Water monitoring: $100–$1,000

Home automation can be worth it if you’re looking for ways to make everyday home operations more convenient and controllable from a single hub integrated with your smartphone. You can select the different features and services you want to automate, ranging from exterior cameras to thermostats, to make this investment worthwhile by only installing services that are relevant to your household’s lifestyle. Plus, home automation can improve home security and eliminate daily inconveniences.

An accredited, licensed smart home specialist should install your home automation system. For example, a qualified smart home specialist will belong to an organization like the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association. Licenses for qualified technicians require the technician to demonstrate experience and pass state testing. If you’re ready to install a home automation system, consult multiple technicians in your area to compare services and prices and find the best fit for your job.

The average cost of a home automation system is around $950, but typically ranges from $200 to $1,700, depending on the brand, system features, system size, home size, and location. The highest-end home automation systems can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $150,000, including smart appliances like refrigerators, dishwashers, and ovens that require installing extensive wiring. Any subscriptions for maintenance services will also impact the cost of a home automation system.
