Smart Lighting Control
Upgrade to smart switches and dimmers that let you control your lights from anywhere. We install systems that allow you to set schedules, adjust brightness via voice commands, and integrate motion sensors to save energy, all while ensuring your home's wiring supports these advanced devices.
Connected Climate Control
Take control of your energy bills with a professionally installed smart thermostat. We ensure proper "C-wire" (common wire) connection—a common issue in older Rockford homes—so your Ecobee, Nest, or Honeywell device stays powered and maintains a reliable connection to your HVAC system.
Security & Surveillance Wiring
Wireless cameras can be unreliable. We provide hardwired installation for video doorbells, floodlight cameras, and security systems. Hardwired connections offer constant power and superior data reliability, ensuring your security feed never cuts out when you need it most.
Hub & System Integration
A smart home needs a strong backbone. We install structured media panels and robust control wiring to serve as the central nervous system for all your devices. This ensures your smart locks, lights, and sensors communicate flawlessly without overloading your Wi-Fi or electrical circuits.

Lawrence and his team are wonderful! If on the off chance he misses your call, he calls back very quickly. They do a great job, are very clean, courteous, and have fair prices. We will definitely hire them again the next time we need electric work done!

Ace Electric did a phenomenal job with installing a 60 amp sub panel in my garage. I called them to get an estimate and they came to my home quickly and gave me an estimate. They completed the work a few days later and answered all of my questions and concerns. They were prompt, knowledgeable and very reasonably priced! I will definitely be using them again in the future for any electrical needs for my home!

Frequently Asked Questions
My older Rockford home doesn't have a "C-wire" for a smart thermostat. Can you help?
Absolutely. Many older homes in Rockford lack the "common wire" (C-wire) required to provide continuous power to modern smart thermostats. Without it, your device may lose power or disconnect from Wi-Fi. Our licensed electricians can run a new C-wire from your furnace to your thermostat or install an adapter kit, ensuring your new smart thermostat functions correctly and reliably without draining its internal battery.
Why should I hardwire my smart home devices instead of using batteries?
Hardwired devices offer superior reliability and lower maintenance compared to battery-operated ones. You'll never have to climb a ladder to change batteries in a floodlight camera or worry about your video doorbell dying in the middle of winter. Professional hardwiring ensures consistent power delivery and often allows for more advanced features, like 24/7 continuous recording, that battery-powered models can't support.
Do I need to upgrade my electrical panel for smart home devices?
While individual smart devices (like switches or bulbs) use very little power, adding a comprehensive smart home system with multiple always-on hubs, cameras, and controllers can increase the load on specific circuits. During our installation, we assess your current circuitry to ensure it's not overloaded. If you're planning a major renovation with extensive automation, we may recommend dedicated circuits or a panel upgrade to guarantee stable performance.
