I help homeowners, short-term rental hosts, and families supporting aging loved ones get their technology working predictably and in ways that actually make life easier. I focus on practical, reliable setups and clear hand-offs so you can manage day-to-day without headaches.
Whether you want to control your heating from your phone, see who is at the door while you are away, mount your TV properly, help an aging parent stay safely at home, or create automated routines that just work, I will get you set up with the right equipment and show you exactly how to use it.
Service area includes Collingwood, Blue Mountains, and Wasaga Beach, Ontario. Travel fees may apply for locations outside the standard radius.

Frequently Asked Questions
What brands do you work with?
I work with all major smart home brands including Google Nest, Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Ring, Ecobee, Philips Hue, TP-Link, Lutron, August, and many others. I recommend the best options based on your existing setup and preferences.
Do I need to buy equipment before you come?
No. During our initial chat, I will recommend specific products based on your needs and what you already own. You can purchase them yourself or I can include procurement in the service.
How long does a typical smart home setup take?
Most single-device installations such as a thermostat, doorbell, or lock take 1-2 hours. TV mounting typically takes 1-2 hours. Aging in place setups can take longer depending on the number of sensors and devices involved. I will give you a time estimate after our initial discussion.
Is aging in place technology complicated to use?
Not at all. Most systems are passive and work in the background without daily interaction. Family members can check in remotely through simple apps where needed, while the person living at home does not need to manage complicated technology. I focus on simple, reliable systems that do not require tech expertise.
Will monitoring systems invade privacy?
Privacy is a top priority. I use passive sensors and practical safety tools where appropriate rather than relying on cameras in private spaces. Everything is discussed clearly upfront so the setup matches the comfort level of the person living in the home and their family.
Can you install a smart thermostat if I have an older HVAC system?
In most cases, yes. When you call for a quote, I will ask about your current system and determine compatibility. Some older systems may need a C-wire adapter, which I can install as part of the service.
Do you provide the TV mount and cables?
I can provide mounts and cables, or you can purchase them yourself. I will recommend the right mount type based on your TV size and wall type and ensure cables are handled cleanly for a professional finish.
What if something stops working after you leave?
I provide follow-up support to help keep everything working smoothly. Many issues can be resolved with a quick phone call or remote assistance.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance?
Yes. I provide follow-up support, tune-ups, troubleshooting, and technology updates for existing clients. If something stops working, if you add new devices, or if you want to improve how everything works together, I can help.
How far do you travel?
My primary service area is Collingwood, Blue Mountains, and Wasaga Beach. I can travel to nearby communities with a small travel fee. Contact me to confirm your location.
Do you work with renters or only homeowners?
I work with both. For renters, I focus on non-permanent solutions like smart plugs, portable devices, and equipment that can move with you. Always check with your landlord before installing anything that requires wiring or permanent modification.
