Smart Lighting — Halifax Home Automation
Smart lighting is the foundation of any great home automation system in Halifax. It adds elegance, ambiance, convenience and measurable energy savings to every room in your home. With a single tap on your Control4 or Lutron keypad, raise or dim any light — or every light — in your house at once. Set scenes for "Movie Night," "Dinner" or "Away" that transform your entire home's atmosphere instantly.
Make your Halifax home look occupied while you're away with automated lighting schedules. Have your lights respond to motion, time of day, sunrise, sunset or your own arrival home via geofencing. It's not just smart — it's the kind of living you deserve.

We carry and install Lutron Sivoia, Q-Motion and Elite motorized shade and drapery systems — combining contemporary energy-efficiency engineering with the latest in smart home automation technology.
Program your Halifax motorized shades to follow the sun — raising automatically at sunrise to let in natural light and lowering at sunset to increase privacy and reduce heat loss. Tie them into a lighting scene so your "Movie" button simultaneously dims the lights and closes the blinds. Battery or hardwired options are available for any room in any Halifax home.
- Lutron Sivoia QS — the world's most trusted motorized shade system

TV Concealment & Motorized Lift Systems
Why settle for a television dominating your room when it's not in use? Peak Audio Video's motorized TV lift mechanisms provide Halifax architects, interior designers and homeowners with elegant solutions that keep your technology hidden until you need it. TVs can lift and lower from any cabinet, ceiling or floor space on demand — at the touch of a button or automatically as part of a Control4 scene.
Our Halifax design team can also recommend motorized over-mantel mounts and hinged moving panels, allowing artwork or cabinet doors to swing open and reveal your screen — while the TV remains perfectly positioned. The result is a cleaner, more refined living space that feels like a true smart home.

Enjoy a comfortable, energy-efficient home with smart climate control that integrates seamlessly with your lighting, security and shading systems. You can even manage your pool, spa or radiant floor heating — all from the same Control4 app or touchscreen that controls the rest of your Halifax smart home.

Home Automation Halifax — Frequently Asked Questions
What is home automation and how does it work in a Halifax home?
Home automation connects your home's systems — lighting, heating, security, shades, audio and video — to a central smart home platform like Control4, allowing you to control everything from a single app, keypad or voice command. In a Halifax home, this means walking in the door and having your lights come on, your temperature adjust and your favourite music start playing — automatically, based on your daily routines. Peak Audio Video designs and installs tailored home automation systems for Halifax homes of every size and age, from Heritage properties in the South End to new builds in Hammonds Plains.
What smart home brands does Peak Audio Video install in Halifax?
We are a certified Control4 dealer and authorized Lutron dealer in Halifax — two of the most respected professional smart home brands in the world. We also install and integrate Somfy and Q-Motion motorized shading, Elite Screen and drapery systems, and a wide range of IP security cameras, smart thermostats and whole-home audio platforms. Every brand we carry is selected for proven reliability in Halifax's climate and conditions.
Can you install home automation in an older Halifax home without rewiring?
Yes, absolutely. Many of Halifax's most beautiful homes — Heritage properties in the North End, older homes in Dartmouth and Bedford — are excellent candidates for wireless smart home systems like Lutron RadioRA3 and Control4. These systems communicate wirelessly and typically require no new wiring, making them ideal retrofits for existing Halifax homes. Our team assesses your specific home and recommends the cleanest, least disruptive path to a fully functioning smart home.
How much does home automation cost in Halifax?
The cost of a home automation system in Halifax varies widely based on the scope of the project. A single-room Control4 or Lutron Caseta smart lighting system can start from a few hundred dollars installed, while a full whole-home automation system with Homeworks QSX lighting, Control4, motorized shades, security and home theatre integration is a larger investment. Peak Audio Video offers free consultations at our Halifax showroom on Agricola Street — we'll walk you through options at every price point and build a system that fits your budget and lifestyle.
Do you offer home automation for new construction builds in Halifax?
Yes — new construction is the ideal time to integrate a home automation system in Halifax. Working directly with your builder and trades during the framing and rough-in stage, our team can plan and pre-wire for the full smart home vision from day one, resulting in a cleaner installation, lower labour costs and a more capable finished system. We work with Halifax builders and developers across HRM and Nova Scotia. Contact us early in your build process for the best outcome.
Do you service and support home automation systems after installation?
Yes. As a locally owned Halifax business, Peak Audio Video is here long after installation day. We provide ongoing service, remote diagnostics, system updates and on-site support for all home automation systems we install in Halifax and HRM. You'll always reach a real local person — not a national call centre. Our relationship with every Halifax smart home client is long-term, not transactional.
