Automated Shades




Reflection Electric installs motorized automated shades across Terrebonne, Mascouche, Laval, and the Laurentians. We work with Lutron and Somfy systems — roller shades, blackout shades, and patio screens — wired and programmed for seamless control by app, voice, remote, or schedule. As CMEQ-certified master electricians, we handle both the electrical wiring and the integration with your smart home ecosystem, so every shade operates reliably from day one.
Reflection Electric installs the full range of Lutron Serena and Somfy motorized shades — roller shades for living areas, blackout shades for bedrooms and media rooms, and exterior patio screens for sun and wind protection. Every installation includes motor wiring or battery-powered setup, integration with your existing smart home platform (Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit), and programming of schedules, scenes, and automation triggers. We help you choose the right shade type, fabric, and control system based on your windows, light conditions, and daily routine.
Reflection Electric routes all shade wiring cleanly through walls and window frames — no exposed cables, no visible transformers, no afterthought installations. For hardwired shades, we run dedicated low-voltage circuits during renovation or retrofit them into existing walls with minimal disruption. Every installation includes full programming of schedules and scenes, a walkthrough of your controls, and our workmanship guarantee. Whether it's a single bedroom blackout shade or a whole-home automated window treatment system, the result is seamless, quiet, and reliable.
WHY CHOOSE REFLECTION ELECTRIC
Motorized Shades Installed by Electricians, Not Window Installers
Most window treatment companies can hang shades, but they call an electrician when it's time to wire them. We handle both — the electrical infrastructure and the shade installation — in a single, coordinated project. That means concealed wiring planned from the start, proper power connections at every window, and integration with your existing smart home system done right the first time.
As Lutron and Somfy specialists, we know these systems inside and out. Our CMEQ certification ensures every electrical connection meets Quebec code, and our experience with home automation means your shades work flawlessly with your lighting, climate, and security systems.

Everything You Need to Know
How much do automated shades cost to install?
Reflection Electric's automated shade installations start at $1,800 CAD and scale based on the number of windows, shade type, fabric selection, and control system. A single motorized blackout shade for a bedroom sits at the lower end, while a whole-home system with Lutron integration across 10-20 windows is a larger investment. During your consultation, Reflection Electric measures your windows, discusses shade types and fabric options, and provides a detailed quote covering shades, motors, wiring, controls, and programming.
hat is the difference between Lutron and Somfy shades?
Both Lutron and Somfy are premium motorized shade manufacturers. Reflection Electric installs both systems and recommends based on your needs. Lutron Serena shades integrate seamlessly with the Lutron Caseta and RadioRA ecosystems — ideal if you already have or plan to install Lutron lighting controls, since shades and lights can share scenes and schedules. Somfy offers a wider range of motor types and shade styles, works well as a standalone system, and tends to offer more flexibility for custom window shapes and exterior screens. We'll help you choose the right platform during your consultation.
Do automated shades need hardwired power or batteries?
Both options are available. Reflection Electric installs hardwired motorized shades with dedicated low-voltage wiring concealed in walls and window frames — the most reliable option with no batteries to replace. We also install battery-powered shades for situations where running new wiring isn't practical, such as in finished homes without easy wall access. Battery-powered Lutron and Somfy shades typically last 1-3 years per charge depending on usage. For new construction or renovations where walls are open, Reflection Electric always recommends hardwired installation for long-term reliability.
Can automated shades work with Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit?
Yes. Reflection Electric programs every automated shade installation to work with your preferred voice assistant — Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit. You can raise, lower, or set shades to specific positions with voice commands, include shades in smart home scenes (like a "Good Morning" scene that opens shades and turns on kitchen lights), and create schedules tied to sunrise and sunset. We configure all integrations during installation and walk you through every control option before we leave.
Can you install motorized shades in an existing home without renovation?
Absolutely. Reflection Electric installs automated shades in existing homes regularly across Terrebonne, Laval, and the Laurentians — no renovation required. Battery-powered shades mount directly to your window frame or ceiling with no wiring at all. For hardwired installations in finished homes, we route low-voltage wiring through ceiling cavities and wall channels with minimal disruption and patching. We assess your home's construction during the consultation and recommend the cleanest installation method for each window.
Can automated shades help with energy savings?
Yes. Motorized shades programmed with sunrise and sunset schedules can significantly reduce heating and cooling costs. In Quebec's winters, closing insulated shades at sunset retains heat and reduces drafts from cold windows. In summer, closing shades on south and west-facing windows during peak sun hours blocks solar heat gain and reduces air conditioning load. Reflection Electric programs these schedules automatically based on your home's orientation and your daily routine — the shades adjust themselves throughout the day without any manual intervention.
How long does automated shade installation take?
Reflection Electric typically completes a single-room shade installation in half a day. A whole-home system with 8-15 shades, smart bridge setup, and full scene programming usually takes one to two days. Hardwired installations in existing homes may require additional time for concealed wiring routing. During your consultation, Reflection Electric provides a specific timeline based on your window count, shade type, and wiring requirements. We schedule installation to minimize disruption to your household.
