How does San Ysidro's climate affect this service?
San Ysidro combines older 1960s-70s dense residential with the Las Americas Premium Outlets commercial corridor and the busiest border crossing in the Western Hemisphere. Multi-family service work, commercial retail tenant improvement, and rental property turnover drive the scope. South County master-planned communities like Otay Ranch were often pre-wired for low-voltage during construction.
Why won't my smart switch work?
Almost always because the box doesn't have a neutral wire. Older homes wired switches with only the hot and switched conductors. Smart switches need constant power to run their radio. We can pull a neutral, swap to a smart bulb solution, or use a Lutron Caseta switch that works without a neutral. We pick per box.
Should I run Cat6 if I have great Wi-Fi?
If your Wi-Fi is great everywhere, no. If you have dead zones, want guaranteed bandwidth for a home office, or want to add wired access points to fix coverage, yes. Cat6 outperforms wireless for video conferencing, large file transfers, and gaming. The pros we send run it neatly and terminate it cleanly.
