If you are building a new home, or renovating your existing home, your lighting system has been designed and drafted on to your house plan. Now go “one step further”. Review your lighting plan with the design and install team of C&T Electric Systems who can provide you with much more than just a lighting system.

Your home is not just a building you live in. It is an expression of your family and lifestyle. Your business may be based there. We entertain guests in our homes, and more importantly, ourselves. Enjoying our home should not have to be accomplished by a list of prerequisite tasks to get to the relaxing part. Setting light levels, turning on the music or video, choosing the media, adjusting thermostat settings, seeing who is at the door, checking on the kids and other areas of the house, should not be a chore. Controlling your environment can be easy. This is the “one step further” that C&T Systems can provide.

> We have known Joe Colangelo for the past 20 years.  He has worked on

> C & T Thank you!!!

**★★★★★ — drtheo, Feb. 2014**

> I have been working with joe for approximately 10 years. His company has constantly exceeded my expectations. We have recently remodeled our home. Joe and Andy installed élan G! Whole home automation which has allowed not only my 5 year old the ability to control all audio video, lighting, and cameras with her iPod but my wife now can too without asking me. PRICELESS. Thank you joe.

**★★★★★ — lu324, Feb. 2014**

> C & T Systems, was hired by our contractor when we built our house eight years ago. He was wonderful to work with. We still use him for any electrical work. He services our generator and lighting systems (smart house). He has wonderful employees that have been with him since before he built our house. When you call you talk to Joe or his wife, Lisa, and who ever comes out to do the job is polite, professional and respectful of the house. I would recommend him for any job large or small.

**★★★★★ — 234oldmountain, Feb. 2014**

> Thoughtful budget-conscious design incorporating house-wide sound system, as well as lighting, environmental and security control.
> Solid execution of plan on time and on budget -- regular contact and easy comunication.
> I have been particularly pleased with how attentive the team is even now, 18 months after completion, whenever we have questions or trouble-shooting issues.
>
> Cannot rate highly enough.

**★★★★★ — Helene Orefice, Jan. 2014**

> Our home is state of the art due to C & T Systems. We originally thought that all we needed was a nice stereo system for the family room, but after Joe showed us the limitless possibilities for a 21st century home, we were hooked. Now, among many other features, we can turn lights on and off remotely and check on the house when we are away.
> His service is great and his staff consists of top-notch professionals.

**★★★★★ — Tony Gallo, Jan. 2014**

> I used C&T systems for a home project in September 2013.  Andy, my service provider was both incredibly knowledgeable, and professional.  He completed the television wall mount installation with relative ease, and in a timely manner.  After the job was completed the room was cleaned and returned to its original set up.  I cannot recommend Andy and C&T Systems enough!
