Why Wadden Electric
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.
No coordination headaches. We wire it, install it, program it, and stand behind it.
Your lights, shades, music, security, and climate work together — not as separate apps.
Prewire now saves $15-25K vs. retrofit later. We plan for the home you'll want in 5 years.
We monitor your systems remotely. Most issues get fixed before you notice them.
Years Building Integrated Homes
What Your Home Gets
Your home's foundation — wired for today and ready for tomorrow. New builds, renovations, panels, generators, EV chargers.
Learn More →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 →Music in every room. Cinema-grade home theater. All controlled from one interface — no switching inputs, no remote juggling.
Learn More →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 →One button for "Goodnight." One button for "Movie." Your home responds to how you live — not the other way around.
Learn More →A network that handles 80+ devices without dropping a beat. No dead spots. No buffering. No troubleshooting on your end.
Learn More →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 →Every room feels right — because every fixture is chosen for that space. We design the light, not just install the switch.
Learn More →See exactly where your electricity goes — and control it. Smart panels that shift heavy loads to off-peak hours automatically.

What Makes This Different
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.
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.
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
Every project follows a proven path. No surprises, no coordination headaches — one team manages every phase.
We learn about your project, your goals, and your lifestyle. New build or renovation, we start with a conversation — not a sales pitch.
We visit your home or construction site. Measure, photograph, assess the panel, and understand the space. We review drawings if you have them.
Detailed proposal with Good/Better/Best tiers. Floor-plan-based system design. Equipment specs. Timeline. No hidden costs.
Structured cabling, speaker wire, lighting circuits, camera home runs, conduit — all installed before drywall. This is where we save you thousands vs. retrofit.
Devices mounted, rack built, speakers placed, cameras aimed, keypads installed. Everything lands where it was designed to go.
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
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.
We join the design team early — reviewing plans, attending site meetings, and coordinating directly with the architect to ensure seamless integration from the start.
Complete low-voltage and electrical prewire packages for your construction drawings.
Lutron keypad layouts, scene design, and fixture selection coordinated with your interior designer.
Replace 3-4 subcontractors with one. Electrical + AV + network + security + automation.
Good / Better / Best proposals so your client can choose the integration level that fits.
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.
