Why York chooses Nestology:
We Solve "Row Home Wi-Fi"
York's historic districts are full of brick homes that cut Wi-Fi signal strength by 50% or more per wall. We run Cat6 Ethernet to Ubiquiti UniFi access points on each floor - wired backhaul that handles 50+ devices without congestion or dropped connections
Infrastructure Protection From Codorus
Codorus Creek flood risks combined with older plumbing make basements vulnerable. We install Flo by Moen automatic shutoff valves and leak sensors at every vulnerable point - water heater, sump pit, floor drains - to stop damage before it spreads.
Value-First
We don't believe in "renting" your security. You buy the system once, and you own it. No mandatory monthly fees

York's housing stock runs from 1700s-era row homes in the Royal Square Historic District to postwar ranch-style builds in Springettsbury and York Township. Each type needs a different installation approach.
Brick Row Homes (Downtown, Royal Square, Avenues)
Thick brick and plaster walls block Wi-Fi signals. Standard mesh systems drop connections between floors. Ubiquiti UniFi access points with MoCA or Cat6 Ethernet backhaul solve this - one AP per floor, hardwired through existing coax or new low-voltage runs. Plaster walls also make fishing wire difficult, so surface-mount raceway or baseboard channels keep things clean without damaging historic trim.
Older Electrical (Pre-1970s Homes)
Many York homes still have two-wire electrical without a neutral conductor. Standard smart switches require a neutral wire. Lutron Caseta switches work on two-wire circuits -- no rewiring, no electrician callbacks. They pair with Pico remotes for three-way control without running new wire between switch boxes.
Flood-Prone Areas (Codorus Creek Corridor)
Properties along Codorus Creek and its tributaries face basement flooding risk. Water leak sensors at floor drains, sump pits, and water heater pans send phone alerts within seconds of detection. Pair with an automatic main shutoff valve -- the system cuts water supply before you get home.
Rental Properties (York City, College Area)
York has a high renter population. Yale Assure or Schlage Encode smart locks with temporary access codes eliminate key management. Create a code when a tenant moves in, and disable it the day they leave. Entry logs show who entered and when. Cameras with local NVR storage -- no monthly cloud fees, no tenant privacy disputes over third-party servers.
