Santa Ynez Valley
Why Choose Connected Home
As local residents of the Santa Ynez Valley for more than two decades, we understand the things that make our homes and area unique: The wide open spaces, early morning walks in the foothills, the afternoon wine tasting outings, trips to the beach with family. And at the end of the day, when we come home, it's our moment to take a deep breath and appreciate it all. It's where we've been planted.
And just because we've left the city, doesn't mean we've left our connection to the world. We reach out to our parents or kids; we watch our favorite shows; we listen to our favorite newscasts or read our newspaper online; We appreciate and rely on the convenience that technology brings to our lives, and most often isn't even noticed, until it doesn't work. That's where we come in: We design, install and support robust systems, based on industry-leading software and hardware platforms. Each solution is unique to you, with the goal of enhancing your living experience with a focus on simplicity and reliability.

What can I do about my high PG&E bills?
I have solar on my roof, but my bills continue to go up. Why?
How can I store my solar generation for use at night?
How can I keep the lights on when the power goes out?
Some homes have solar while others don't, but all can be run more efficiently, expanded and monitored to maximize the sun that shines in our region. Then by adding a battery system to your home, you can begin to treat PG&E as backup power instead of the primary source of expensive power. We maximize your home's efficiency. We just make it happen.
How it works
Step 1: Phone Meeting
Our first conversation will be an initial, no-cost phone call to understand what you're trying to fix or solve for.
Step 3: Proposal Review
With that thorough understanding, we'll send you a proposal with all the details for you to understand the solution and make an informed decision.
Step 2: Personal Meeting
If we think we can help, we'll schedule a meeting in your home to expand that conversation and dig deeper into the details of the problem in the context of your unique home and environment. The cost of the fixed-price initial consultation fee will be applied to your final solution, should you decide to move forward.
Step 4: Schedule the Work
Once we are in agreement on the work and expected improvement to your quality of life, we'll schedule the work and get it done.
