Short answer: a properly wired home network in Kelowna – enterprise gateway, PoE switch, and 2-3 wired access points with professional WiFi coverage mapping – typically runs $2,500-$5,000 installed. Larger homes with cameras, outbuildings and a structured cabling rack land $8,000-$20,000. That’s the real fix for dead zones; another mesh kit from a big-box store usually isn’t.
Why your WiFi is bad (it’s probably not the internet)
Your network now carries cameras, the smart home, TVs, video calls and work. Consumer mesh kits relay traffic wirelessly through the same walls that caused the problem. The engineering answer is wired access points placed where a signal survey says they should go – which is why every Pfitztech network includes a WiFi heat map of your actual floor plan, before and after.
What things cost
- Network health check + heat map: from a $185.50 service call – we measure, then tell you the truth about what you need
- Wired access point added (Cat6 run, professionally terminated and tested): typically $350-$600 per AP location all-in
- Core network refresh (enterprise UniFi gateway + PoE switch + 2-3 wired APs): $2,500-$5,000
- Full structured-cabling package (rack, patch panel, Cat6 throughout, cameras, point-to-point links to shops/docks): $8,000-$20,000
- UniFi camera systems: typically $3,500-$7,000 for a 4-camera PoE system with local recording – no monthly cloud fees
All ballpark, plus GST; firm numbers on open walls or after photos. We run the cabling ourselves – Pfitztech is the licensed data and fiber contractor, not just the config guy.
Built to be maintained, not just installed
Every network we build is enterprise-grade Ubiquiti UniFi, remotely monitored. That’s what makes our managed WiFi service and Care Plans possible: most problems get fixed from our dashboard before you notice them.
