Total Control Home Automation
Company Overview
Home automation is as simple as setting up a 3-way switch for dimming from both sides of the hall. It allows you to control lighting remotely and automatically. You can check if your garage door is closed from anywhere and even close it with visual confirmation. Adjust multiple lights to create a scene with just one button. Control your thermostats directly from your smartphone. Stay informed with event notifications. In summary, we manage anything wired from anywhere with an internet connection.
No rewiring required, no ongoing fees, all manageable from your smartphone!
Our certifications include NEST PRO, RING PRO, along with SmartHome and more. Nest features energy-saving products, intelligent thermostats, cameras for indoors and outdoors, and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The business name is Total Control Home Automation. Yelp sometimes alters the name automatically.
Yelp may also remove my website link. You can find us online at www.TotalControlHomeAutomation.com. Ballard Electric is a distinct company, and we often partner up. You can find my page on Ballard's site; just go to ""Ballard-Electric.com"" and tap [Home Automation].
You might have seen us at the Westlake Home Show at the Hyatt (we're not currently exhibiting). Free tickets are often available on the website.
I wanted to add a few pendant lights in the kitchen, but there was no way to run a wire from the lights to the wall switch without damaging the wall. Recalling X-10 from about 30 years ago (and knowing it had room for improvement), I searched for a remote switch solution. Crestron, Lutron, and RadioRA are too costly. A few systems necessitate rewiring - just what I was hoping to avoid.
Ultimately, I located the perfect product, at a reasonable cost, with outstanding performance. I’ll share the details and demonstrate it with a free demo at your location. More features, reduced costs, and straightforward installation - what else could you desire? And of course, be sure to call for a demo!
Originating from years of computer programming and automation, this business has naturally progressed to help you achieve your goals and create a truly smart home. Finding solutions to challenges is personally rewarding, and it’s even more fulfilling to help others enjoy the advantages of technology, often without them realizing what’s possible.
One of my favorite installations was for a quadriplegic client. This client is unable to press a button on a phone or manipulate a mouse. My solution involved Insteon, Amazon Echo, and some custom technology. Now, he can operate his lights, fan, thermostat, TV, audio system, and even adjust sections of his hospital bed!
What can I do to make your life better? And naturally, all without the need for rewiring or mess.

Recommended Customer Reviews
Andrew resolved my internet issues without me needing to purchase any additional equipment, which speaks to his desire to get the job done. Thanks again Andrew!
Paran J.These guys are nothing less then rockstars. I emailed them for a quote to automate my blinds as no one else could help me. For my specific case they couldn't do it, but they took the time to research how I could do the project and find some someone who could do the job and made the introduction. It is very rare in today's world someone would be so nice. I'm a home automation geek and will definitely be using them on my next project.
Suzie D.Andrew was great. I would recommend him to any home owner needing any electronic equipment installed!! Nice to work with!!!!!
Tracy G.Had a great experience working with Andrew and Peggy. I purchased a home with Insteon technology (lighting) and had no idea how to control my own lights. They helped me re-program the lights to my liking, installed an app on my devices, and spent a lot of time explaining how everything worked. They work great together and are a wealth of knowledge. I will definitely have them back!
John Michael K.Had them install some USB outlets as well as acoustic paneling in my home studio. Extremely friendly and professional and will be calling them back for all future work! Highly recommend.
Jack D.This 5 star recommendation is for those of you who are unsure who to contact for superb, trustworthy home electrical/electronic needs. Andrew is a true intellectual brilliant meticulous ""genius"" who cares deeply about complete fully successful resolution of client struggles and needs! Andrew is fully committed to total client satisfaction and ""going the extra mile""! He's willing to do whatever it takes to properly complete the task at hand! I also respected and appreciated the step by step explanations along the way! It was clearly evident that my wishes and satisfaction was of the utmost importance to Andrew! He was the only one who was able to troubleshoot and correctly install 2 Ring video doorbells and the associated bell ""chime"", when 3 other electrical professionals could not complete that, even after 3 different attempts! It was clear that Andrew understood all the ""ins and outs"" of the problematic installation! He is amazing with his skill set and knowledge!! He is meticulous with clean up, as well!
I am exceedingly pleased to give Andrew my highest level of recommendation possible!!

I started out wanting dimmer switches replaced. Once Andrew showed me how I could control dimming all the lights in my home even when I am away, with my cell phone, including my Nest thermostat I was sold. Since automating the lights Andrew and Peggy relocated my wide screen on the wall. They ran the wires in the wall added electrical plugs where needed. They then set up a Sonos surround sound system mounting the sound bar below the TV and balanced the surround sound system. They then produced a single remote to control all electronics. I am now working with them on-installing led theatre lighting. I am pleased with their honesty knowledge and skill level. after all work was completed my wife was also happy that they left our home clean.
Edmund B.I've worked with (and for...) the principals behind TCHA for many many years. Andrew will take the necessary time to do it *right*. Period.
He's cleaned up networking rats-nests as well as gadgets throughout a location. In this space, I can't recommend anyone better. You should see what he can do in a datacenter let alone your home.
Doug B.We had them install our nest hello and were more than happy with their service! They are knowledgeable in exactly what they are doing and made sure we were aware of everything they were going to do before hand. Highly recommend for any and all electrical needs!
Contacted Andrew and Peggy at Total Home Automation for help after Ring product stopped working. They responded the same day sensing my frustration in my system and associated computer issues. Knowledgable both with Ring products in my system and my issues with my computer. Spend over 2 hours getting it set up correctly in spite of my total lack of computer savey.
Definitely a recommendation for their service and knowledge on home automation and computer systems.
