The expensive problems are the ones nobody caught on paper.

I'm Igor Beletsky, Project Manager at Current Electrical Contractor. My work covers commercial and high-end residential electrical projects, with a background in building automation that helps keep lighting, climate, and controls coordinated into the scope early rather than bolted on at the end.

Based in Pennsylvania.

Architects & Designers

You design the experience. The electrical scope should deliver it.

Architects spend months getting the light, the comfort, the flow of a space exactly right. Then it goes out to bid, and somewhere between the drawings and the rough-in, the intent starts eroding. A fixture layout that ignores the switching. Controls treated as a separate trade nobody coordinated. Devices landing on walls you never meant to break up.

I'd rather catch that on paper. When the electrical team is in the conversation during design development, most of those conflicts are a redline instead of a change order. That includes the low-voltage side — lighting control, climate, shading — which is where I've spent most of my career and where the coordination usually breaks down.

If you have a project in design and want an electrical read on it, I'm glad to look early.

Custom Home Builders

Your buyers expect more. Delivering it shouldn't be complicated.

Buyers at the high end have already seen it: automated lighting, integrated climate, one app running the whole house. They expect that experience now, and a custom home that can't deliver it feels dated before the keys change hands.

The problem is rarely the technology. It's that the electrical and the integration get scoped separately, bid separately, and then meet for the first time in the field. I run those together — one electrical scope that already accounts for the control layer, one schedule, one person to call when something needs a decision.

If you have a home coming up and want to talk through how to scope it, get in touch and we'll walk through it.

Integrators I Recommend

Seven years of building a national network. These are the people worth calling.

Before CEC, I spent seven years building Loxone's US partner network. That meant working alongside integrators and contractors in nearly every state — training them, troubleshooting with them, and seeing firsthand whose work held up.

Some of them made a lasting impression. I've put together a list of the ones I'd send a project to without hesitating, organized by state. It isn't a paid directory or an official certification list. It's just the people I trust, based on having worked with them directly.

If you need a good integrator in your area, start here.

Why Building Automation Isn't Smart Home, and Why That Distinction Matters

The industry keeps reaching for the wrong vocabulary. Calling a whole-building control platform "smart home" undersells what it actually does, for clients and integrators alike.

What Electrical Contractors Wish Architects Asked Us Sooner

A short list of questions during design development that quietly save a lot of money later. Most of them take five minutes to answer and weeks to fix if you don't.

Energy & Comfort

The False Trade-Off Between Comfort and Efficiency

Good automation doesn't ask you to choose between saving energy and feeling comfortable. Coordinated correctly, a building delivers both without anyone thinking about it.

Life Outside Work

On the Trail, On the Mountain

When I'm not thinking about buildings, I'm usually outdoors, chasing trails on a mountain bike, hiking ridgelines with my family, or finding my edges on a ski slope. The same mindset that runs a good project runs a good adventure: plan it properly, simplify what you can, and keep moving when conditions change.
