Total Control Home Automation
Company Overview
Smart home technology is as easy as setting up a 3-way switch for dimming from both sides of the hall. It allows you to control lighting remotely and automatically. Be aware of your garage door's position from anywhere and close it with confirmation. Change several lights to a scene with one button press. Manage your thermostats via your smartphone. Get alerts for important events. To sum it up, we control all wired devices from any location with internet access.
No need for rewiring, no monthly fees, all accessible from your smartphone!
We are certified NEST PRO, RING PRO, and work with SmartHome and others. Nest features energy-saving products, intelligent thermostats, cameras for indoors and outdoors, and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Thanks for considering us, I know you have choices.
Be sure to check our ""not recommended"" reviews at the bottom; they are all legitimate.
We operate under the name Total Control Home Automation. Yelp sometimes modifies the business name.
Yelp can occasionally take down my website link. Check out our website at www.TotalControlHomeAutomation.com. Ballard Electric is a separate entity, but we often collaborate. You can find my page on Ballard's site; just go to ""Ballard-Electric.com"" and tap [Home Automation].
You may have noticed us at the Westlake Home Show at the Hyatt (we're not showcasing right now). There are always free tickets available on the website.
I planned to add pendant lights in the kitchen, but there was no way to connect a wire from the lights to the switch without harming the wall. Thinking back to X-10 from around 30 years ago (and recognizing its limitations), I sought a remote switch product. Crestron, Lutron, and RadioRA are too costly. Some systems require rewiring - exactly what I was trying to avoid.
To make a long story short, I found the ideal product, at a fair price, with excellent performance. I’ll tell you all about it and show you with a complimentary demo at your place. More features, reduced costs, and straightforward installation - what else could you desire? And of course, be sure to call for a demo!
With roots in computer programming and automation, this business has evolved to assist you in realizing your desires and establishing a genuinely smart home. Solving problems is gratifying, and it’s even better to assist others in experiencing the benefits of technology, often without them knowing what can be achieved.
A memorable installation for me was for a client with quadriplegia. This client is unable to press a button on a phone or manipulate a mouse. My approach included Insteon, Amazon Echo, and some tailored technology. Now, he can control his lights, fan, thermostat, TV, audio system, and even adjust his hospital bed!
How may I improve your daily living? And of course, all without rewiring or plaster dust.

Recommended Customer Reviews
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.
Matt C.Andrew and Peggy came and dialed us in with 4 IQ Nest Cams and 2 ""Hello"" doorbells. Professional and friendly. Really appreciated their work!!
I purchased a number of Nest Protect devices for my home through Nest's web site, which is also where I found Total Control Home Automation. TCHA is a Nest certified Pro. Nest certified Pros are supposed to reply to requests for installation with a quote within 48 hours. Not only was TCHA the first to get back to me (by phone), but my Nest devices are already installed - within 48 hours! One other Nest certified Pro installer simply replied to my request with an impersonal e-mail to fill out an electronic form; the other has not yet replied. Again, TCHA _installed_ my Nest devices in under 48 hours, and they did a great job. When the Nest Hello comes out, I will be calling them again.
Michael C.We were having all sorts of trouble with our RING doorbell. They came to troubleshoot and resolved our problem.
Olivia K.Andrew and his assistant were so extremely helpful and knowledgeable about all the electric tasks we had for him around our home. They installed can lights in our kitchen, tested and replaced several electrical outlets, installed 2 separate outlets outside in front of our house, and installed dimmer switches. They didn't just install our can lights, but they put some serious thought in mapping out the ideal locations of where the lights should be place. You can tell they genuinely care about the quality of their work. Not only did they complete everything in one day, but they went above and beyond the call of duty. They didn't take a single break and worked until the job was done (11hrs). Incredible! I've NEVER had such a pleasant experience with anyone who has worked on our house. They exceeded our expectations and we WILL be using then again if we ever need electrical work done in our house.
Sidenote: they even heard our puppy ringing the bell to go outside to go potty and they took him out for us!! Above and beyond the call of duty. Seriously!
Elliott K.I was so pleased with the quality of work that was done at our house! Andrew and Peggy were able to complete everything we asked at a better prices point than other quotes obtained.
They installed 5 recessed lights, installed two exterior plugs, swapped 4 new outlets, and installed a dimmer.
What stood out the most was the well thought out position of the lights rather than just installing. They looked at where potential shadows would come down, indirect light, and proper distance from each other.
I highly recommend using them for electrical work.
Lynne T.I have worked with Andrew for over 20 years, as needed. Recently he was the hero of a tech issue no one else could resolve. He is clear and transparent in his pricing, patient, extremely knowledgeable....having more solutions than one could even imagine. He brings all materials he may need to a job and sees it to completion. I highly recommend this business, especially if you've got an issue no one else can seem to figure out!
This company is amazing. Andrew and Peggy were referred to us by a good friend and they came to fix the issues that we were having with our credit card terminal. The terminal was not connecting to the internet modem but they figured it out and took care of it. They are one of the honest people we've ever met and we would love to work with them in the future. I highly recommend this excellent company to everyone!
Andrew and Peggy were competent and quickly installed our security cameras and instructed us on their use. We are please with the result and with Total Control Home Automation. Their prices are fair and I intend to use them again
