Complete Smart Home Integration Transforms Luxury Estate Living
Tanque Verde, Upper Catalina EstatesChallenge
Tanque Verde homeowners with 5,200 sq ft custom estate contacted us in early 2024 seeking comprehensive smart home integration to modernize their 2008-built luxury home. Challenges included outdated lighting control (basic switches throughout, no dimming or scenes), no home automation (manual operation of all systems), security concerns (no video monitoring, basic alarm system), inefficient climate control (multiple thermostats, no integration or scheduling), complex entertainment needs (home theater, multi-room audio requiring professional integration), pool and spa operated manually (no automation or remote control), outdoor lighting on basic timers (no smart control or scenes), high energy costs ($280-350 monthly summer bills), and desire to age-in-place with voice control and remote monitoring for adult children. Previous quotes from other companies ranged $35,000-48,000 but didn't address all their needs comprehensively.
Solution
Our electrical team designed and installed a comprehensive Control4 smart home system optimized for luxury living and future flexibility. Installation included complete Lutron RadioRA3 lighting control (78 dimmers and switches throughout home, keypads in key locations, automated scenes for entertaining, dining, relaxation, movie time, bedtime), Control4 automation hub and touchpanels (centralized control of all systems, elegant interfaces in kitchen, master bedroom, office), climate control integration (3 Ecobee smart thermostats with Control4 integration, automated scheduling based on occupancy and time-of-use rates, remote monitoring), security and camera system (Ring video doorbell Pro, 14 security cameras with 4K resolution and night vision, smart locks on 3 entry doors, garage controller integration), whole-home audio system (9-zone system with in-ceiling speakers, outdoor speakers at pool and patio, streaming integration), home theater electrical (dedicated circuits, equipment rack organization, lighting integration, motorized screen and shades), pool and spa automation electrical (Pentair IntelliCenter integration with Control4, remote monitoring and control, automated cleaning and chemistry), landscape lighting automation (45 fixtures with zoned control, automated schedules and scenes), voice control integration (Amazon Alexa throughout home), family remote monitoring (adult children access via Control4 app), energy management (whole-home monitoring, automated optimization), whole-home surge protection (protecting $60,000+ in new smart home equipment), backup power for critical systems, and complete programming and homeowner training.

Resort-Style Pool Electrical Renovation Enables Year-Round Entertainment
Tanque Verde, Sabino MountainChallenge
Tanque Verde homeowners contacted us in summer 2023 about comprehensive pool electrical renovation. Their 15-year-old pool had outdated single-speed pump (consuming 2,400-2,800 watts 8-10 hours daily, costing $85-105 monthly to operate), basic pool lighting (single white light, no ambiance options), manual pool operation (daily trips to equipment pad, no automation or remote control), spa took 4-6 hours to heat (wasting energy and limiting usability), no water features (desired waterfalls and deck jets for resort atmosphere), inefficient pool heater (20+ year old gas heater with questionable reliability), landscape lighting on basic timers (no integration or scenes), safety concerns (no GFCI protection on some outdoor circuits, dated electrical panel), and desire for outdoor entertainment (outdoor TV, speakers, proper electrical for future outdoor kitchen). Total monthly pool-related electrical costs exceeded $120, and the lack of automation and ambiance limited their enjoyment of their substantial outdoor investment.
Solution
Our comprehensive pool electrical renovation transformed their backyard into a resort-style oasis. Electrical upgrades included variable-speed pump installation electrical (Pentair SuperFlo VS, reducing consumption from 2,400W to 500-600W average, 75% energy savings), Pentair IntelliCenter pool automation system electrical (touchpad and smartphone control of all pool functions, automated schedules optimizing efficiency), LED pool and spa lighting (Pentair IntelliBrite 5g color-changing lights, 5 pool lights and 2 spa lights, automated color scenes), waterfall pump circuits (3 waterfalls with LED lighting, separate pump control), deck jet circuits (8 deck jets with synchronized activation), spa heating upgrade electrical (Pentair heat pump, efficient heating in 90-120 minutes vs. 4-6 hours), outdoor entertainment electrical (weatherproof 75-inch 4K TV with motorized cover, 6-speaker outdoor audio system, dedicated circuits), landscape lighting integration (42 fixtures integrated with pool automation, synchronized scenes), outdoor kitchen pre-wiring (three dedicated circuits for future appliances), whole-home surge protection (Type 1 + Type 2 protecting pool equipment worth $18,000), electrical panel upgrade (200-amp panel replacing 125-amp, supporting all additions), complete GFCI protection throughout outdoor areas, smart home integration (Control4 integration of all pool systems), and professional testing and commissioning.

Electrical Panel Upgrade and Generator Installation Protect Luxury Home Investment
Tanque Verde, Agua Caliente EstatesChallenge
Tanque Verde homeowners with 3,800 sq ft luxury home built in 2001 faced multiple electrical challenges. Their original 150-amp electrical panel was at 92% capacity with no room for planned additions (EV charger for new Tesla Model X, solar panels to reduce $290 monthly summer bills, expanded landscape lighting, future outdoor kitchen). Previous electrician quoted $8,200 for panel upgrade alone and said it would require substantial drywall work. Additionally, they experienced a concerning 18-hour power outage during July 2023 monsoon storm where interior temperatures reached 96°F (dangerous for their vintage wine collection worth $45,000), spoiled $400 in refrigerated foods and medications, couldn't operate security system (leaving property vulnerable), and had no way to cool their home (sweltering night with no sleep). They needed comprehensive electrical upgrades supporting modern needs while protecting their substantial home investment during outages.
Solution
Our electrical team provided integrated panel upgrade and generator installation protecting their luxury investment. Comprehensive scope included complete 200-amp electrical panel replacement (Square D commercial-grade panel with 40 spaces, supporting all current and planned additions, properly sized for 3,800 sq ft luxury home), whole-home Type 1 and Type 2 surge protection (protecting $75,000+ in electronics, appliances, pool equipment, smart home gear from monsoon lightning), 24kW Generac liquid-cooled standby generator installation (adequate for whole-home power including dual AC units, wine cellar climate control, all essential systems), natural gas service installation (coordinated with Southwest Gas, unlimited fuel supply), automatic transfer switch with load management (seamless 12-second power restoration prioritizing critical loads), wine cellar dedicated circuit and backup (ensuring climate control never interrupted, protecting valuable collection), generator acoustical screening (custom landscape design maintaining property aesthetics while meeting code clearances), EV charger pre-wiring (dedicated 60-amp circuit with conduit to garage, ready for Tesla Wall Connector installation), solar-ready electrical configuration (backfeed breaker, proper sizing for planned 10kW array), outdoor kitchen electrical pre-wiring (three dedicated circuits, conduit to planned location), complete electrical inspection identifying and correcting 6 code violations from original construction, permits and inspections, and 10-year comprehensive warranty on generator and electrical work.
