A smart home system costs an average of $764, with a published normal range of $174 – $1,363, according to Angi and HomeAdvisor.1,2 The corporate siblings publish the same average and range; matching figures between the sibling sites alone don’t establish independent corroboration.1,2 Fixr (updated January 2025) separately reports a national average of $4,000, scoped to installing a smart mid-range security system, speaker, thermostat, and doorbell, within an average range of $2,000 – $6,000, with a $1,500 low end (smart thermostat, lighting, and basic security) and a $10,000 high end (high-end security, entertainment system, television, and garden sprinkler).3 The publishers scope their averages differently, so the figures are presented separately below. Prices are national averages*.
