Company Overview

Automated living is as simple as installing a 3-way switch to dim lights from both ends of the hallway. It enables remote and automatic lighting control. Know your garage door status from anywhere and close it with a visual check. Set multiple lights to a specific scene with a single press. Control your thermostats directly from your smartphone. Get alerts for important events. To sum it up, we control all wired devices from any location with internet access.

No rewiring required, no ongoing fees, all manageable from your smartphone!

Our certifications include NEST PRO, RING PRO, along with SmartHome and more. Nest offers excellent energy-saving solutions, learning thermostats, indoor and outdoor cameras, and smoke and CO detectors.

I appreciate your business, thank you for selecting us.

Be sure to check our ""not recommended"" reviews at the bottom; they are all legitimate.

The business name is Total Control Home Automation. Yelp may occasionally change the name.

Yelp sometimes deletes my website link. You can find us online at www.TotalControlHomeAutomation.com. Ballard Electric is a separate entity, but we often collaborate. Ballard hosts a webpage for me; go to ""Ballard-Electric.com"" and click on [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 aimed to install pendant lights in the kitchen, but running a wire from the lights to the switch would cause wall damage. Remembering X-10 from three decades ago (and knowing it could be better), I looked for a remote switch option. Crestron, Lutron, and RadioRA are prohibitively expensive. Some systems require rewiring - exactly what I was trying to avoid.

Ultimately, I located the perfect product, at a reasonable cost, with outstanding performance. I’ll tell you all about it and show you with a complimentary demo at your place. With more features, lower costs, and simpler installation - what else do you need? And remember 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.

One of my favorite installations was for a quadriplegic client. This client cannot even push a button on a phone or move 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 of course, all without rewiring or plaster dust.

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.

We were having all sorts of trouble with our RING doorbell. They came to troubleshoot and resolved our problem.

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!

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.

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

I contacted Total Control Home Automation to get a quote for installing 2 lutron light switches and a dining room chandelier/hanging light. Andrew returned my call promptly, and was able to fit me into his schedule on the same day.
His quote was very competitive, and I was encouraged by his professionalism in understanding the job. It's not often you receive an estimate from a contractor that asks if it's fair to you.
He arrived on time, and paid attention to detail throughout the job. Even cleaning up with a hand held vacuum as he went.
One part of the job entailed a little more work than planned, and he was fair in our dealings.
I'd recommend contacting him before you purchase your hardware (switches and outlets, etc) because of his extensive knowledge.
Job well done!

This is an amazing product!!! So much better than my surveillance cameras I had previously!

★★☆☆☆

Andrew did a great job setting up our nest, however, he made us feel super uncomfortable when pressuring us to write him a lengthy review, over and over again. He kept telling us how neat he was and how he cleaned up after himself.. even though we think that should be done regardless...He literally would not leave until we confirmed that we would write one. It's really a shame because if he hadn't asked so many times for a review and pressured us to write something LENGTHY, I may have written one ON MY OWN. Instead, he left us feeling very uncomfortable.
