Smart Home Wiring Guide: What to Install Before the Drywall Goes Up

Neutral wires, structured cabling, smart panels and how to future-proof a new build or remodel.

Neutrals at Every Switch

Most smart switches need a neutral wire. Older homes often lack one in the switch box. Planning smart home wiring during a remodel avoids expensive retrofits later.

Structured Cabling

Run Cat6 to every TV location, office and access-point spot, plus conduit to the attic for future runs. Wi-Fi is great; wired backbones are better.

Smart Panels and Energy Monitoring

Smart breakers and energy monitors show exactly what your heat, EV charger and hot tub consume — and let you shed loads automatically on a smaller service. Pair with EV charger installation and solar.
