Intelligence Designed.
HomeIQ designs and installs smart home systems for Northern California homes, bringing audio/video, Wi‑Fi, lighting, shades, security, climate, and control together in systems that feel simple, reliable, and natural to use.
About HomeIQ
At HomeIQ, we believe technology should make a home easier to live in, not harder to manage.
HomeIQ is built on decades of hands-on residential technology experience, from consumer electronics and audio/video to networking, lighting control, security, and full smart home systems. That background is rooted in the North Bay community and traces back to retail consumer electronics in the 1990s, where a practical approach to helping people understand technology first began to take shape.
Today, HomeIQ brings that experience into well-designed homes throughout Marin, Sonoma, Napa, San Francisco, and the greater Bay Area. The focus is simple: clean design, reliable products, careful installation, and systems that feel natural to use.
We select products not only for performance, but for long-term support and serviceability. HomeIQ remains available when service is needed, while also favoring platforms with strong manufacturer support so clients are not left dependent on fragile, one-off solutions.
