Electricians and low-voltage technicians who install, program and service the systems they wire, as one scope.
A complete smart home depends on both line-voltage infrastructure and low-voltage technology. Regent5 coordinates service capacity, panels, lighting circuits, shade power, structured wiring, automation, networking, security, AV and resilient power from preconstruction through commissioning. Regent5's smart home electricians plan this work for new custom homes, private estates and major renovations, with the electrical and low-voltage scope coordinated with the architect, builder and design team from the first drawings.
Structured cabling is inexpensive while framing is open and difficult to redo after drywall. Regent5 plans hardwired network backbones, display locations, keypads, cameras, speakers, access points, equipment rooms and future conduit so the home has infrastructure that can evolve.
Finished homes require a different strategy. Wireless lighting control, selective wiring paths, retrofit shades, wireless audio and targeted network upgrades can modernize a residence while limiting construction. The tradeoffs are defined before work starts.
Lighting circuits, dedicated equipment circuits, panel and service upgrades, EV charging, batteries, generators and critical-load planning all affect the smart-home system. Regent5 coordinates these electrical needs with the technology design instead of treating them as separate projects. Where a service upgrade involves the utility, Regent5 handles the customer-side electrical scope and coordinates the application and documents, while the utility controls its own equipment, approvals and energization timing.
Regent5 designs and supports systems built around platforms such as Savant, Control4, Crestron, Lutron, UniFi, Verkada and other residential technologies. Platform selection is based on the property, user experience, infrastructure, service requirements and long-term support. Regent5 is a certified Lutron dealer for HomeWorks, RadioRA 3, Ketra, Rania and Lumaris and an authorized Savant and Control4 dealer, so the home automation electricians who wire the house also program it.
Regent5 works on new custom homes, private estates and major renovations across Northern California as both the electrical contractor and the home automation contractor on the project, and modernizes finished residences where the scope calls for coordinated electrical and technology work. Projects range from an integrated system in an existing home to whole-property infrastructure with multiple buildings, gates, outdoor spaces and resilient power.

The project does not end when equipment powers on. Regent5 commissions the integrated systems, documents the installation, trains the household and supports the property over time with a service team backed by in-house engineering. Regent5 has designed, installed and serviced residential electrical and automation systems for over 15 years.
High-end residential technology performs best when power, lighting, low-voltage wiring, networking and automation are coordinated as one system. Regent5 plans these interfaces from infrastructure through final commissioning.
Service capacity, panels, dedicated circuits and critical loads coordinated with the technology plan.
Hardwired network, AV, security, control and fiber pathways planned before finish work closes access.
Centralized or distributed lighting control coordinated with fixtures, loads, panels, keypads and scenes.
Power, control wiring, pockets and blocking coordinated for motorized shades and drapery.
Control of lighting, shades, climate, AV, security and selected property systems through a unified user experience.
Wired backbone, switching, Wi-Fi, segmentation and remote-management infrastructure for the connected home.
Cameras, alarms, gates, intercoms and access devices coordinated with network and power requirements.
EV charging and electrical upgrades coordinated with service capacity, load priorities and future energy needs.
Backup-power systems planned around critical home technology, networking, lighting and security loads.
Integrated systems tested, documented, handed off and supported over time by one technical service team.
Where we work.
Regent5's smart home electricians work across San Francisco (Pacific Heights, Sea Cliff, Presidio Heights, Noe Valley and Russian Hill), the Peninsula, the North Bay, South Bay, and East Bay, Wine Country, and the Carmel and Monterey area, from the company's base in San Carlos. Select engagements extend to Santa Barbara, the Los Angeles area, and Orange County.
An electrician wires power and lighting circuits. A smart home contractor also designs, installs and programs the control, network, audio video and security systems that run on that wiring. Regent5 does both under one team, so the wiring is planned around the systems from the start.
Typical scope can include Cat6A, fiber, speaker wiring, camera and access-control cabling, keypad and control wiring, shade power, equipment-room infrastructure and conduit for future systems.
Often, yes. Retrofit lighting control, wireless devices, selective wiring paths and targeted network upgrades can add substantial functionality without opening every wall. The practical limits depend on the home and desired features.
Regent5 works from its design center at 1300 Industrial Road, Suite 12, San Carlos, on the Peninsula, and its electricians and low-voltage technicians work across San Francisco, the Peninsula, the North Bay, South Bay, and East Bay, Wine Country, and the Carmel and Monterey area. Most projects begin with a call or a visit to the design center, where we review drawings or the existing system before recommending a scope.
A common question, and the answer depends on scope. Cost is driven by the wiring scope, from Cat6A and fiber to speaker, camera and keypad wiring, plus lighting-control panels, shade power, equipment-room infrastructure, any panel upgrades, and whether walls are open or finished. A number without drawings or a site visit would mislead, so the next step is a consultation at the Regent5 Showroom & Design Center in San Carlos.
Yes. Regent5 supports integrated residential systems over time, including electrical infrastructure, automation, lighting control, networking, security, AV, shades and resilient-power interfaces.
