Smart Home Pre‑Wire Services in Charlotte, NC
Since 2010, Automated AV has been designing and installing pre‑wire systems that make Charlotte homes ready for whatever comes next. With over 40+ years of combined low‑voltage and AV experience, our team has wired everything from luxury lakefront homes to city penthouses — giving families a foundation that works the first day they move in, and keeps working ten years later.\
A well‑planned pre‑wire is invisible infrastructure. It means fast, reliable Wi‑Fi throughout the home, cleanly mounted TVs, immersive audio, smart lighting, security cameras, and outdoor entertainment — all without opening a single wall after move‑in.
From Lake Norman to Ballantyne, Myers Park to SouthPark, we work side by side with your builder, architect, and electrician to map every cable, label every panel, and leave behind a documented plan that keeps your home ready for the future.
The Power of Pre‑Wire
Your walls only close once.
This is your one chance to plan the invisible framework that makes every smart feature effortless for the next 10–15 years. We don’t just pull cable — we map your future. With low-voltage wiring planned during construction, your home is ready for upgrades without drywall dust, signal dead zones, or a maze of remotes later.
Our Four Pillars of a Future‑Ready Home:
🚀
Future‑Proof by Design
From surround sound to smart shades, your structured wiring is ready for what’s next — no retrofits, no do‑overs.
🧩
Hidden and Thoughtful
Clean, labeled wiring that disappears into the walls so your spaces look designed, not patched.
📡
Whole‑Home Connected
Rock‑solid Wi‑Fi and streaming, even in outdoor living spaces. Because the best tech is the tech you never notice.
🤝
Built with Your Team
We work alongside your builder and electrician to make sure every cable run fits the timeline and your home never gets opened twice.

Plan the Wires Before the Walls
Once the walls close, options disappear.
Running low‑voltage wiring while your home is being built is like adding an invisible blueprint for everything you might want tomorrow — audio, security, outdoor speakers, smart shades, or a home theater. Skip this step, and every upgrade later means cutting into finished spaces and paying for the same work twice.
What Happens When It’s Missed
Non Action | Result |
|---|---|
No Outdoor Pathways | Brick patios and stone walls make it nearly impossible to add outdoor TVs or speakers later. |
No Audio Prep | You want music everywhere, but without wires you’re stuck with surface speakers and messy patch jobs.
|
No Network Runs | Wi‑Fi dead zones and slow streaming because no one pulled cable to the right spots. |
No Pre‑Wire for Lighting | You end up locked into basic switches and can’t add scenes or dimming without rework. |
What Early Wiring Gives You
Title | Reason |
|---|---|
Freedom | Add new tech any time — the wiring is ready. |
Savings | Plan it once; avoid costly drywall repairs forever. |
Value | Homes with clean wiring sell faster and at a premium. |
Speed | Future upgrades install in days, not weeks. |
Our Residential Pre‑Wire Process
Pre‑wiring isn’t just pulling cables. It’s a step‑by‑step plan that shapes how your home will perform for years.
Here’s how we make it simple:
Listen First
We start with a conversation — how you live in your home, what matters most, and what you think you might want down the road. This is where we catch things other installers miss.
Map Every Wire
Our team studies your floor plans and walks the space with your builder. We mark out runs for speakers, TVs, Wi‑Fi access points, outdoor tech, lighting, and future systems before a single wire is pulled.
Builder Coordination
We work side by side with your GC, electrician, and designer. That means wiring fits cleanly into their schedule and the walls never have to be opened twice.
Organized Install
Every cable is labeled. Every panel is neat. We leave behind a wiring layout so you know what’s behind every wall.
