Smart Home vs Traditional Setup:
Key Differences
Traditional homes rely on manual switches and standalone systems. Smart homes use interconnected devices that communicate, learn, and adapt. Unlike traditional setups, smart homes can:
- Be controlled remotely or automatically
- Provide real-time alerts and updates
- Adjust to your habits for better comfort and energy use
Grounded Electric makes the transition seamless, combining new tech with safe, professional-grade installations.

I needed to install two smart thermometers and two timer switches for exterior lights. I found Grounded Electric from their excellent Google review. My job was complicated because my home is 100 years old, has steam heat, and lacks common power circuits. One would think all thermostats are the same, but most were incompatible with my existing services. The guys from Grounded visited on Thursday to review the setup and estimate the job. We selected the equipment, they came back on Friday to do the job. There were a couple of wrinkles, but they got it all done pronto and they stayed to make sure the software app was working on my phone. Their initial estimate was reasonable, and they stuck to it.

Outstanding experience with Grounded Electric. I could not stop bragging to family and friends. I would HIGHLY recommend this team to anyone doing electrical work in and around their home or business. They are young professionals who respect your time and money. I would have them back in a minute. I wish I found them sooner. Their knowledge for the new smart technology and the understanding of a 100+ year old home was impressive and honest.

I asked them to repair 2 outlets that were broken and one fixture that was not working outside of the house. They went above and beyond the call of duty, they called out that a switch in the garage was connected to an exposed circuit and offered to close it as it is a fire risk. They finished the work in a timely manner as well. Highly recommended! Positive Professionalism, Value Services Light fixture installation, Electrical socket and switch installation
