Most people know Abel Electric for wiring homes, businesses and job sites. What a lot of folks don't know is that we also have a low voltage team. They're the crew behind the cameras on the porch, the alarm panel by the door and the WiFi that finally reaches the back bedroom.


Here's what "low voltage" means and what our team can do for your home or business.


What Is Low Voltage?


Your outlets and lights run on standard household power. Low voltage systems run on much less. Think security cameras, alarm sensors, network cable, speakers and smart home devices. They need their own kind of wiring and setup, and they work best when they're planned and installed by people who do it every day.


Security Cameras


A good camera system lets you check on your home, shop or business from your phone, wherever you are. Our team helps you figure out where cameras should go, runs the wiring and gets everything set up so you can see what matters, from the driveway to the back door.


Alarm Systems and Automation


Our team installs alarm systems and automation you can control from a mobile app. Arm the system on your way out of the driveway, or check that the house is locked up from the couch. We can also set up alarms that contact the police when they're triggered, so help is on the way even when you're not home.


Access Control for Businesses


For businesses, our low voltage team installs access control, so you decide who gets in, and when.


WiFi That Actually Reaches


If your WiFi dies in the back bedroom, the shop or out on the porch, a WiFi extension can fix it. Strong WiFi also matters for cameras and smart home devices, since they're only as good as the connection they're on.


Home Audio


From music in the living room to sound on the back patio, our team installs home audio that fits the way you use your space.


Smart Home Technology


Smart home tech ties it all together. Our low voltage team can help you set up smart home technology that makes your home easier to run day to day.


Why It Helps to Have Electricians on the Same Team


Low voltage systems often need regular power too. A camera needs a spot to plug in, a new system may need a dedicated outlet, and a remodel might call for both kinds of wiring at once. Because our low voltage team is part of a licensed electrical contractor, one company can handle both the electrical work and the tech. No juggling two contractors.
