Security, AV, home theater, smart-home, low-voltage and electrical companies are listed free. Add your company in a few minutes, or claim the listing we built from public license records.

What every installer gets, free
-
A listing
We build listings from public state license records, so you may already be listed. It shows your trades, your area and the license details we found, with the date we checked.
-
Add your company
Not listed yet? Add your company: a short form about your business, your trades and your area. A person reviews it before it goes live.
-
Claim your listing
Use Claim this listing on your listing page. Once we confirm you speak for the business, you can fix details, add what you do and set your service area. Free.
-
Quote requests by email
Once you've claimed your listing (or added your company), when a homeowner picks you and asks for a quote, the request goes to you by email, not to a list of competitors. We don't send requests to businesses that haven't signed up.
Something wrong, or you'd rather not be listed? Use the listing request form.
Free listing or BidGlory monthly plans
What comes with each plan
BidGlory is proposal and project software for installers (Technology Preview). Its monthly plans turn your listing into a lead source that feeds it. Installers on BidGlory's free open-source version or per-incident support, or not using BidGlory, get the same free listing and emailed quote requests as everyone else.
| What you get | Free listing | BidGlory monthly plans |
|---|---|---|
| Your listing in the directory | Yes. Claim it, correct it and set your service area. | Yes, marked as a member and linked to your website. |
| Quote requests from homeowners who pick you | Yes, by email. | Yes, by email, and into your BidGlory account once it's connected. |
| Texts for hot leads | No. | Yes. We text the mobile number you give us when a homeowner wants the work done as soon as possible or asked for a phone call, during daytime hours your time. |
| Direct connect: a Call button with your business phone | No. | Yes, on your listing and on the homeowner's quote confirmation. The call goes straight to your phone. |
| A website for your business | No. | Yes, with service pages, service-area pages and two landing pages for ads. Its quote forms send leads the same way: by email, and into your BidGlory once connected. |
| Order in search results | By distance and fit. | A small boost, never ahead of a much closer installer that better fits the request. |
| Cost | Free. No credit card. | Comes with BidGlory monthly plans, not BidGlory's free open-source version or per-incident support. Prices are on BidGlory's pricing page. |
-
Direct connects
A Call button with your business phone on your listing and on the homeowner's quote confirmation. Homeowners who'd rather talk reach you directly: no call transfer or tracking number in between.
-
Texts for hot leads
When a homeowner wants the work done as soon as possible or asked for a phone call, we text the mobile number you give us right away (during daytime hours your time), on top of the email. Other requests come by email.
-
Leads into BidGlory
Once your BidGlory account is connected, every request arrives in BidGlory with the homeowner's details and what they need, ready to turn into a proposal. Until then, by email.
-
A website for your business
Service pages, service-area pages and two landing pages for ads. Its forms send leads the same way. See the sample website.
Coming next: your BidGlory client portal on your own website. Your customers will open and approve proposals on your site, with your branding, instead of on a BidGlory page. It's in development and not available yet.
Pricing: direct connects, hot-lead texts, leads into BidGlory and the website come with BidGlory monthly plans, not BidGlory's free open-source version or per-incident support. Plans and prices are on BidGlory's pricing page. Questions? Contact us.
Resources for installers
When the customer already bought the equipment online: what it costs you, who's on the hook when it fails, and how to talk about it.
- The real cost of "I already bought it"Customer-supplied gear bought online can bring wrong specs, missing parts and closed return windows. How to price labor-only installs fairly.
- Warranty, liability and code: who's on the hook when it fails?Gear bought outside authorized channels may lack a manufacturer warranty, carry a fake safety mark or miss security updates. Who pays when it fails?
- How to say it so customers say yesThe objection is often not your markup but paying more for what looks like the same box. Itemize, put your policy in writing and handle objections with respect.
How we treat installers
- We never present a business as a member, or as working with us, when it isn't.
- We never publish invented or paid reviews or ratings.
- A homeowner's request goes to the installer they picked, not to five companies at once.
- License details come from public records, dated. If something's out of date, tell us and we'll check it again.
Installer questions
Does it cost anything to add my company to Wired Home Pros?
No. Adding your company and keeping a listing is free. You don't need a credit card, and you don't need to buy anything.
Who can be listed?
Businesses in the United States that install security systems, audio/video, home theater, smart-home or low-voltage systems in homes, and electricians and electrical contractors.
What does the add-your-company form ask?
Your company name and where you're based, the trades you do and how far you travel, your state license numbers if you have them, your team size, and who we should talk to. It also asks which bidding or estimating software and which accounting software you use. Those two answers help us understand your business; they aren't shown on your listing.
We might already be listed. What should we do?
Search for your business first. Many listings are built from public state license records. If you find yours, use "Claim this listing" on the listing page instead of adding it again.
How do you check a listing before it goes live?
We look up the license in the state's public records when the state publishes them, and show the status with the date we checked. A person reviews every new company and every claim, and we may call or email to confirm you speak for the business.
How do quote requests reach us?
Once you've claimed your listing or added your company, when a homeowner picks you and asks for a quote, the request goes to you only, not to a list of competitors. We don't send requests to businesses that haven't signed up (unclaimed listings). A free listing gets requests by email. With a monthly BidGlory plan, requests also arrive in BidGlory once your BidGlory account is connected, and we text you about hot leads (a homeowner who wants the work done as soon as possible or asked for a phone call).
What do BidGlory monthly plans add?
Leads into your BidGlory account once it's connected, a Call button with your business phone on your listing and on the homeowner's quote confirmation (direct connects), texts for hot leads, and a website for your business with landing pages for ads (see the sample at /for-installers/website/). They come with BidGlory monthly plans, not BidGlory's free open-source version or per-incident support; prices are on BidGlory's pricing page.
Can we pay to rank first?
No. Results are ordered by distance and by how well each installer fits the request. Installers on BidGlory monthly plans can get a small boost, but never ahead of a much closer installer that better fits the job.
How do we correct or remove a listing?
Use the listing correction and removal form at /listing-request/. A person reviews every request.
