Home automation has come a long way, and for Allentown and Lehigh Valley homeowners, the options are genuinely impressive. Whether you want to control your lighting from your phone, set up a smart thermostat that learns your schedule, or get a notification every time someone rings your doorbell, Kelley Electric can handle the wiring and installation that makes it all work the way it’s supposed to.
Convenience and Low-Voltage Wiring
A lot of the technology that makes a home feel modern starts with proper wiring behind the walls. Before any smart device can do its job, the electrical groundwork has to be right. Our electricians install the dedicated circuits and low-voltage wiring that support a wide range of convenience and entertainment setups in homes throughout Allentown and the Lehigh Valley area.
Some of the installation services we handle include:
- Dedicated home office and computer circuits
- Smart doorbell and chime installation
- Smart thermostat installation and wiring
- TV and monitor mounting with behind-wall wiring
- Whole-home audio and entertainment system wiring
- Dedicated gaming and media room circuits
Smart Home Automation
Smart home automation takes convenience a step further by connecting your electrical devices and fixtures through a central system you can control from your phone or a voice-activated device. Instead of managing everything separately, automation lets you set schedules, create routines, and adjust settings from anywhere.
Common devices and systems we install and wire for automation include:
- Smart thermostats like Nest and Ecobee
- Smart doorbells and video cameras
- Automated indoor and outdoor lighting
- Home security system wiring
- Whole-home audio and entertainment systems
- Smart switches and outlet upgrades
Beyond the convenience factor, automation can also help reduce energy consumption. Being able to schedule your HVAC system or turn off lights remotely means you’re not paying to heat, cool, or light an empty house.
Why Professional Installation Matters
Smart home devices are designed to be user-friendly once they’re up and running, but getting them properly installed is a different story. Wiring behind walls, adding dedicated circuits, and integrating devices into your existing electrical system is work that needs to be done correctly the first time. Done wrong, it can cause performance issues at best and safety hazards at worst.

We handle a wide range of smart home and automation installations, including smart thermostats, video doorbells, smart lighting, whole-home audio wiring, dedicated home office circuits, and more. If you have a specific device or system in mind, give us a call and we can talk through what's involved.
It depends on your current setup. Many smart thermostats require a common wire, also called a C-wire, that older HVAC systems don't have. If yours is missing one, an electrician can add it. We also handle the full installation if you'd rather not deal with the wiring yourself.
A dedicated circuit serves a single device or area and isn't shared with other outlets or fixtures in your home. For a home office with multiple computers, monitors, and peripherals, a dedicated circuit helps prevent tripped breakers and keeps everything running reliably. It's a smart upgrade for anyone working from home regularly.
Yes. If you have a TV mounted but the cables are still running along the wall, we can run the wiring inside the wall for a cleaner look. We'll also make sure there's a properly placed outlet behind the TV so everything is up to code.
Most systems are designed to be straightforward once the installation is done correctly. The learning curve is usually pretty minimal, especially for popular platforms like Google Home, Amazon Alexa, or Apple HomeKit. We make sure everything is properly wired and connected before we leave so you're not troubleshooting on day one.
In most cases, the opposite is true. Smart thermostats, automated lighting, and scheduled appliance controls help reduce energy waste by giving you more precise control over what's running and when. Many Lehigh Valley homeowners see a noticeable improvement in energy efficiency after upgrading to smart home systems.
The easiest first step is to give us a call or schedule service online. We'll talk through what you're looking to accomplish, assess your current electrical setup, and recommend the right approach for your home. There's no one-size-fits-all answer, and we'd rather give you a plan that actually fits your house than a generic package.
