San Mateo Home Systems, Planned as One Project

Twelve systems for the house, the home office and the garden, on one set of drawings. Each tile opens that system's page.

Savant, Crestron and Home Automation in San Mateo

Regent5 is an authorized Savant and Control4 dealer and a Crestron dealer. One app and one set of keypads run lighting, shades, climate, audio, video and security, with profiles for each family member. In older San Mateo homes, wireless keypads and existing wiring let a system go in room by room without opening every wall. Regent5 supports the system long after handoff.

Lutron Palladiom Shades and Lighting Control in San Mateo

Regent5 is a certified Lutron dealer for HomeWorks, RadioRA 3, Ketra, Rania and Lumaris. Palladiom and Sivoia shades and architectural lighting run as one system on engraved keypads. In mid-century homes with walls of glass, shades and dimming are planned together to manage glare and heat through the day.

→

Home Theater Design in San Mateo

Regent5 designs and installs dedicated theaters, media rooms and listening rooms: projector, screen, processor, acoustics, seating, lighting scenes and shades, tuned as one room. In San Mateo remodels, a family room often becomes the media room, with speakers set into the ceiling and equipment moved to a nearby closet.

Outdoor Audio, TVs, Wi-Fi and Lighting in San Mateo

Regent5 designs and installs outdoor audio, video and Wi-Fi and landscape lighting: speakers in the planting, weather-rated TVs, access points across the garden and lighting scenes on the house keypads. Backyard terraces and pool areas are wired with the house system, with cable runs buried in conduit.

Wi-Fi, Home Networks and IT Support in San Mateo

Regent5 designs, installs and supports Wi-Fi and wired networks on Ruckus, Access Networks, Cisco Meraki, Araknis and UniFi, starting with a Wi-Fi site survey in existing homes. Plaster walls and additions built over decades can leave dead zones, so access points are placed from the survey rather than guesswork. IT support covers help desk, cloud, backup, cybersecurity and monitoring.

Home Security and Video Entry in San Mateo

Regent5 installs Verkada and UniFi Protect cameras, 2N, DoorBird and UniFi intercoms, gate controls and access credentials as one system, and is an authorized Verkada partner. Cameras cover the entry, driveway and side yards, with sight lines planned around neighbors and the street, and a video intercom answers the front door from any phone. For a higher threat profile, see high-profile estate security.

Electrical, Prewire and Backup Power in San Mateo

Regent5 carries electrical service and distribution, low-voltage prewire and backup power as one scope under its C10 and C7 licenses. Many San Mateo homes still run on older electrical service, so EV charging, heat pumps and new circuits start with a panel review. Batteries, generators and UPS systems keep the network, security and automation running through an outage.

San Mateo Smart Home & Electrical FAQs

Can a smart home system be added to an older San Mateo house without major demolition?

Often, yes. Wireless keypads, existing wiring and careful cable routing let lighting, shades, audio and Wi-Fi go in room by room, with wider work saved for a remodel.

Does a San Mateo remodel need an electrical panel upgrade for EV charging?

Sometimes. Regent5 reviews the existing service, adds up the new loads and recommends an upgrade only when the numbers call for it, coordinating any change with the utility.

Does Regent5 provide IT support for San Mateo homes?

Yes. Regent5 provides network and wireless management, help desk and end-user support, cloud and infrastructure management, data backup and disaster recovery, cybersecurity and threat protection, and proactive monitoring and maintenance for San Mateo homes and home offices.

Does Regent5 work with architects, interior designers, lighting designers and landscape designers in San Mateo?

Yes. Regent5 reviews architectural, interiors, lighting, electrical and landscape sets, attends coordination meetings and keeps low-voltage and electrical requirements aligned with the design and construction schedule, from early design through commissioning and long-term service.

How is the cost of a smart home and technology system budgeted in San Mateo?

Budgeting starts with performance and infrastructure rather than a shopping list. Regent5 defines scope, identifies the wiring, equipment-room, network and power needs that cannot be deferred, sets allowances for each system and separates core infrastructure from options that can be phased. The Regent5 Showroom & Design Center in San Carlos is the place to compare options first.

Can Regent5 take over an existing San Mateo smart home?

Yes. Regent5 audits, documents and modernizes existing Savant, Control4, Crestron, Lutron, network, security and electrical systems in phases, including homes whose original installer is no longer involved.
