Battery Backups for California Wildfire and PSPS Season
You’re halfway through making dinner, and suddenly everything goes quiet. The lights go out. Your TV show goes dark. And
Our Scotts Valley office is a straightforward drive from Brookdale, up Highway 9 through the valley, and the same licensed electricians who wire these homes are the ones who make them smart. That matters this deep in the redwoods, because a smart home only works as well as the network and wiring behind it, and out here that foundation is the hard part. We design, install, and support smart home systems built for a remote forest home. Being based nearby, we actually make the trip to set a system up and return to tune it, which not every installer will do this far out.
We plan each system around how you live, keep it dependable and low-maintenance, and make sure it holds together as one system rather than a tangle of apps.
Brookdale sits at the north end of the San Lorenzo Valley, a scattering of homes among tall redwoods on quiet roads well off the highway. Internet service can be thin, the power goes out for days in storms, and a home this remote has to look after itself. A smart home here is less about luxury and more about keeping a hard-to-reach property connected, powered, and watched over.
A system that depends on a connection that keeps dropping is no help at all. We build the network and the backup to hold up first, so the automation you add keeps working when the grid and the internet do not. That resilience is the whole point out here, where help is not close and a problem can go unnoticed for days.
Connectivity comes first. Where internet service is unreliable, we set up networks with failover and backup paths so the essentials stay online, and we run coverage out across a wooded property to the buildings that need it, so a workshop or a far cabin is as connected as the main house. On top of that we install solar and battery systems with smart energy management, so a remote home can lean on its own power through the long outages the forest brings.
We set up remote monitoring so you can check on a hard-to-reach property from anywhere, add smart water shutoff and freeze protection for pipes in a cabin that sits empty, and program outage-aware automation that rides through a blackout and recovers on its own, so you never come home to spoiled food, a dead thermostat, and a house you could not check on. Through all of it we keep the system rugged and simple, because the best setup out here is one that just keeps working. We favor gear that is proven and easy to service over anything clever and fragile.
Every installation is done by licensed electricians and built for the long term.
A lot of installers treat Brookdale as too far to bother with. We do not. Our team knows the upper valley and comes prepared for its remote properties, and we are here for the tuning a system needs. We build our name one job at a time, so every Brookdale home gets our full attention, up the wooded roads at the top of the valley.
A smart home uses advanced technology to enhance control, comfort, and convenience. By connecting devices like lighting, security systems, thermostats, and appliances to a central hub or mobile app, you can manage everything effortlessly. With this setup, you can adjust lighting with a voice command or change the temperature remotely, creating a personalized, efficient living space. This is the true power of smart home technology.
Brookdale, with its stunning landscapes and innovative community, is adopting smart home technology as a solution to rising living costs and growing security concerns. By automating systems like heating, cooling, and lighting, smart homes help homeowners reduce energy consumption, making their homes more efficient and affordable.
Safety is another major benefit. Without smart features like automated lighting, remote monitoring, and real-time alerts, it can be difficult to respond quickly to potential security threats. Smart technology enhances safety, offering peace of mind while simplifying daily tasks.
In today’s connected world, traditional homes can feel outdated. Manually adjusting thermostats, turning lights on and off, and worrying about security can be both inefficient and time-consuming. Smart solutions like Google Nest streamline home management, improve energy efficiency, and create a safer, more convenient living space—making them an ideal choice for Brookdale homeowners.
Smart home services are transforming how we interact with our spaces, enhancing both security and convenience. Imagine a door that unlocks automatically as you approach or a security system that sends real-time alerts to your phone. With solutions like Google Nest, you can monitor your home from anywhere, receive instant notifications, and even communicate with visitors via smart doorbells, providing peace of mind wherever you are.
But it’s not just about safety. Smart home technology simplifies everyday tasks. You can control lighting remotely, schedule appliances to run at the best times, and track energy use—all from a single app or hub. Google Nest thermostats, for example, help maintain comfort while reducing energy waste.
With smart automation and remote access, managing your home becomes more efficient and effortless. Whether you’re at home or on the go, you have complete control at your fingertips.

We can. Where the connection drops often, we build a network with backup paths and failover, so if one link goes down the essentials stay online through another. We set up the routing, place access points for coverage across the property, and make the network solid enough to carry the rest of a smart home.
Yes. Out here, solar paired with a home battery and smart energy management lets a remote home lean on its own power through the long outages the forest brings. We handle the electrical, tie in the battery, and set it up so you can see your power, prioritize what stays on, and manage it all from one app.
You can. We set up remote monitoring and control so you can see the home’s lights, climate, doors, and sensors and get alerts wherever you are, which matters most for a property you cannot just drive out to on a whim. We build it to be dependable, so a glance at your phone tells you the place is fine.
Yes. We install freeze and leak sensors with an automatic shutoff valve that cuts the water the moment a problem shows up, so a burst pipe in an empty cabin does not flood the place before anyone knows. Paired with a thermostat that holds a safe minimum temperature, it protects a home through the cold months you are away.
It can. We put the network and hub on battery backup so they stay up through an outage, and program the system to restore itself cleanly when power returns instead of leaving devices offline. If you have a generator or battery, we tie the essentials in so the home keeps running through a long blackout.
Absolutely. This far out, the best system is one that just keeps working, so we favor proven, easy-to-service gear, a solid network, and a single hub over anything clever and fragile. We set it up around how you actually live, keep it simple to run, and make sure it holds up to the conditions.
