Why Wadden Electric

Your Home Should Work For You — Not the Other Way Around


You shouldn't need to juggle four apps to turn off the lights, troubleshoot your own Wi-Fi when the cameras drop, or explain to three different contractors why the audio doesn't sync with the lighting. Your home should respond to you — intuitively, reliably, invisibly.

That's what we build. Homes where one button dims the lights, starts your music, locks the doors, and sets the alarm. Homes where the network handles 80 devices without dropping a connection. Homes where the light shifts with the sun and your energy usage shows up on your phone in real time.

We're the only company in Atlantic Canada that handles every piece — the electrical wiring, the lighting control, the audio, the video, the network, the security, the shading, the energy management, and the programming that ties it all together. One team. One warranty. One phone number when anything needs attention.

You Get One Team

No coordination headaches. We wire it, install it, program it, and stand behind it.

You Get Systems That Talk

Your lights, shades, music, security, and climate work together — not as separate apps.

You Get Future-Ready Wiring

Prewire now saves $15-25K vs. retrofit later. We plan for the home you'll want in 5 years.

You Get Proactive Support

We monitor your systems remotely. Most issues get fixed before you notice them.

Light that follows your day — energizing in the morning, warm at night. Lutron keypads replace banks of switches. Every fixture specified for your space.

Learn More →

Audio & Video

Music in every room. Cinema-grade home theater. All controlled from one interface — no switching inputs, no remote juggling.

Learn More →

Motorized Shading

Shades that follow the sun, lower for movies, and rise with your alarm. Integrated with your lighting scenes — one button does it all.

Learn More →

Smart Home Automation

One button for "Goodnight." One button for "Movie." Your home responds to how you live — not the other way around.

Learn More →

Networking

A network that handles 80+ devices without dropping a beat. No dead spots. No buffering. No troubleshooting on your end.

Learn More →

Security & Surveillance

Know who's at your door — not that a leaf moved. AI cameras, smart locks, and alarm monitoring that work together with your smart home.

Learn More →

Lighting Design

Every room feels right — because every fixture is chosen for that space. We design the light, not just install the switch.

Learn More →

Energy Management

See exactly where your electricity goes — and control it. Smart panels that shift heavy loads to off-peak hours automatically.

Learn More →

Lutron Motorized Shading

Your Light. Your Privacy. Automated.

Lutron shades adjust with the sun, lower for movie night, and rise with your morning alarm — all from a single keypad or your phone. No cords. No manual adjustments. They integrate seamlessly with your lighting scenes, so when you hit "Goodnight," the shades close, the lights dim, and the doors lock.

What Makes This Different

You Shouldn't Have to Manage Your Own Home

One Call Fixes Everything

Lighting issue? Audio glitch? Camera offline? You call one number. We built every piece, so there's no finger-pointing between trades — just a fix.

It Works Because It Was Planned

Your systems don't fight each other because they were designed together from the start. Lighting talks to audio. Security talks to climate. Everything shares one brain.

Problems Get Fixed Before You Notice

We monitor your systems remotely, 24/7. When a device drops at 2 AM, we see it and fix it — usually before you wake up. Your home just works.

Our Process

From Vision to Living In It

Every project follows a proven path. No surprises, no coordination headaches — one team manages every phase.

01

Discovery Call

We learn about your project, your goals, and your lifestyle. New build or renovation, we start with a conversation — not a sales pitch.

02

On-Site Assessment

We visit your home or construction site. Measure, photograph, assess the panel, and understand the space. We review drawings if you have them.

03

System Design & Proposal

Detailed proposal with Good/Better/Best tiers. Floor-plan-based system design. Equipment specs. Timeline. No hidden costs.

04

Prewire & Rough-In

Structured cabling, speaker wire, lighting circuits, camera home runs, conduit — all installed before drywall. This is where we save you thousands vs. retrofit.

05

Trim & Install

Devices mounted, rack built, speakers placed, cameras aimed, keypads installed. Everything lands where it was designed to go.

06

Programming & Handover

Control4 scenes programmed to your lifestyle. Lutron keypads configured. We sit with you during handover and refine until it's second nature. Then we monitor it remotely.

For Builders & Architects

Replace 4 Subs With One


Your client wants smart home. That usually means coordinating an electrician, an AV company, a security installer, and a programmer. Four schedules. Four invoices. Four potential blame-games when something doesn't work. We eliminate all of that.

One subcontract covers electrical rough-in through final programming. We deliver prewire specs, system drawings, and lighting layouts that drop directly into your construction documents. Your client gets tiered pricing options. You get one point of contact who actually answers the phone.

We work directly with the architect from day one. Before framing starts, we're reviewing floor plans, identifying conduit pathways, specifying fixture locations, planning camera sight lines, and coordinating with your interior designer on keypad placement. Integration works best when it's designed in — not bolted on after the fact.

Architect Collaboration

We join the design team early — reviewing plans, attending site meetings, and coordinating directly with the architect to ensure seamless integration from the start.

Prewire Specs

Complete low-voltage and electrical prewire packages for your construction drawings.

Lighting Design

Lutron keypad layouts, scene design, and fixture selection coordinated with your interior designer.

One Sub, Seven Systems

Replace 3-4 subcontractors with one. Electrical + AV + network + security + automation.

Budget Tiers

Good / Better / Best proposals so your client can choose the integration level that fits.

Design Phase Input

We flag infrastructure needs before they become change orders — conduit runs, panel sizing, ceiling depth for speakers, wall blocking for TVs. Better to know now than after drywall.

What Our Clients Say

They handled everything — the electrical, the smart home, the audio, the network. One team, start to finish. I never had to coordinate between different contractors.

Custom Home Client

Full Integration Build

I press one button when I leave and the whole house locks down — lights off, alarm armed, cameras active, thermostat drops. It's the one thing I show every guest who walks through the door.

Homeowner, Halifax

Control4 + Lutron + Security

As a builder, having one sub handle electrical, AV, and automation simplified my entire schedule. No more chasing three different trades. Wadden handled the whole technology package.
