Nearly every major home system can now be upgraded with smart technology — thermostats, lighting, outlets, switches, security devices, and even water and electrical monitoring. For Denver homeowners, the most impactful smart upgrades tend to be thermostats (for heating and cooling efficiency across Colorado’s wide seasonal swings), smart electrical panels or circuit monitors, and connected smoke and CO detectors. Done! handles the electrical and HVAC side of these upgrades with licensed technicians.

Smart Thermostats

The smart thermostat is the most popular home automation upgrade for good reason. It learns your schedule, adjusts automatically, and lets you control your HVAC system from your phone — useful on the Front Range where a warm afternoon can turn into a cold evening fast. Many models also provide runtime reports that flag if your furnace or AC is running longer than expected, giving you early warning of developing issues. Done! can install a smart thermostat as a standalone upgrade or as part of a furnace tune-up or AC maintenance visit.

Smart Lighting and Switches

Smart light switches, dimmers, and fixtures let you control your home’s lighting from an app, with voice commands, or on automated schedules. Unlike smart bulbs (which require the switch to always be on), smart switches work with any bulb type and keep the wall switch functional. They’re a popular upgrade for living areas, outdoor lighting, and garages. Our electricians handle the wiring and can ensure everything is properly grounded and installed to code — see our lighting services and outlets and switches pages.

Smart Home Safety Devices

  • Smoke and CO detectors: Interconnected smart detectors send alerts to your phone even when you’re away — critical for catching a problem in a vacation home or while traveling.
  • Smart electrical panels: Next-generation panels or circuit-level monitors can track energy use by circuit, detect anomalies like continuous draw on a circuit that should be off, and even shut off individual circuits remotely.
  • Surge protectors: Whole-home surge protection installed at the panel guards connected smart devices from Colorado’s frequent summer lightning storms.

Smart Electrical Vehicle Charging

If you own or are planning to buy an EV, a smart Level 2 charger at home is a significant convenience upgrade. Smart chargers let you schedule charging during off-peak utility hours, monitor energy use, and receive notifications when charging is complete. Installation requires a dedicated 240V circuit, which our electricians install to code with the appropriate permit. Learn more on our EV charging installation page.

Smart Water and HVAC Monitoring

Water leak detectors placed under sinks, near water heaters, and in mechanical rooms can alert you to a slow leak before it becomes a flooded basement. Some whole-home water monitors install on the main supply line and can even shut off water automatically if they detect a burst pipe — valuable protection during Colorado’s winter freeze events or while you’re out of town. On the HVAC side, smart IAQ monitors track temperature, humidity, CO2, and particulates — data that’s especially relevant during wildfire smoke season on the Front Range.
